tion on page 244) clockwise or counter-
clockwise

igation control (no. 5 in the illustration on
page 244) to select the desired track. The
arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad
can also be used in the same way.NOTE

most common versions of formats such as
mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be
versions of these formats that the system
does not support.USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.MP3 playerMany mp3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an mp3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/

charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
