Auxiliary input jack
You can connect an external audio device
to the vehicle ’s audio system and play
back audio via the vehicle ’s speakers.
An auxiliary (AUX) input jack is equipped
in the lower compartment of the center
console. A stereo mini pin plug (3.5ø) can
be inserted in this jack. The connection
cable is available at electrical appliance or
similar stores.
To use the AUX input jack :
1. Connect a portable audio player to the
AUX input jack.
2. Press the “RSE AUX ”button on the
audio control panel to turn on the auxiliary
audio input.
3. Play back the portable audio player. Refer to the Owner
’s Manual for the
portable audio player.
NOTE . The output sound of the portable
audio player is not loud, and the sound
via the vehicle ’s speakers that are
connected to the vehicle audio set
may be very low. If you turn up the
volume of the audio set, the volume
becomes louder. However, when you
change from one portable audio player
to another one, the volume levels via
the vehicle ’s speakers may be signifi-
cantly louder compared to the prior
device. To avoid a large volume differ-
ence, turn down the volume when you
change between portable audioplayers.. In some cases, when the sound
volume of the portable audio player is
low, the sound becomes bad when you
turn up the volume of the vehicle audio
system. In this case, adjust the sound
volume of the portable audio player.. In some cases, noise occurs be-
cause of a bad connection between the
portable player and the vehicle audio
system. Try cleaning the stereo jack
and audio plug.. If noise is not reduced, check for
disconnection of the cord or malfunc- tions of the portable player.

on the front monitor unless the parking
brake is applied.. The harman/kardon
®audio system

possibly causing the player to malfunction. . In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can
form inside the CD player, preventing
normal operation. If this happens, eject
the CD and wait for the player to dry out. . Skipping may occur when the CD
player is subjected to severe vibration
(for example, when the vehicle is driven
on a rough surface). . To remove a disc from the case, press
the center of the case and hold both
edges of the disc. If the disc surface is
touched directly, contamination could
cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the
disc surface. . Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface
from the center outward with a dry, soft
cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth,
thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. .
Do not use any disc that is scratched,
deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use
any disc that has a non-standard shape
(for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions
or problems might result. . A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never
keep it either in places exposed to direct
sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles
parked in the sun or on hot days.
