WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your
vehicle is moving. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving.
Note: For optimum performance when
using any auxiliary device set the volume on
the device high. This will reduce audio
interference when charging the device via
the vehicle power supply socket.

Audio System
The auxiliary input jack allows you to
connect and play music from your portable
music player through your vehicle speakers.
You can use any portable music player
designed for use with headphones. Your
audio extension cable must have male
1/8th-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors at
each end.
1. Switch off the engine, radio and
portable music player. Set the parking
brake and put the transmission in
position P (vehicle with an automatic
transmission) or neutral (vehicle with
a manual transmission).
2. Plug the extension cable from the
portable music player into the auxiliary
input jack.
3. Switch the radio on. Select either a
tuned FM station or a CD.
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Switch your portable music player on
and adjust its volume to half its
maximum level.
6. Press AUX until LINE IN or LINE IN
ACTIVE appears in the display. You
should hear music from your device
even if it is low.
7. Adjust the volume on your portable
music player until it reaches the volume
level of the FM station or CD. Do this
by switching back and forth between
the AUX and FM or CD controls.
Use the vehicle audio unit buttons to
restore playback from the vehicle audio
unit, while your portable music player
remains connected.
