Warning!
Only operate an external audio source (Aux)
when the vehicle is stationary. There is a risk
of accident by being distracted from road
and traffic conditions if you operate an ex-
ternal audio source (Aux) while the vehicle is
in motion.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.

The volume of external audio sources is ex-
tremely variable. It is possible that a device con-
nected as an external audio source will sound
quieter or louder in the vehicle or that the usual
Aux .
maximum volume cannot be achieved. On cer-
tain devices the volume can be set separately. In
this case, start at a moderate volume and in-
crease it slowly. In this way, you can determine
whether the system is capable of playback with-
out distortion, even at high volume.
