04``131 Introduction
The audio system is available in two versions:
High Performance och Premium Sound. The
system version is shown in the display when
the audio system is switched on.
If the audio system is on when the ignition is
switched off, it will come on automatically the
next time the ignition is put in mode I or higher.
The audio system can be operated without a
key in the ignition slot for 15 minutes at a time
by pressing the POWER button (the driver's
door must be closed on vehicles with the
optional keyless drive).
Some functions are controlled from the menu
system in the center console. For more infor-
mation on menus, see page 120.

USB/iPod connector (option)An auxiliary device, such as an iPod, MP3
player or a USB flash drive can be connected
to the audio system via the connector in the
center console storage compartment. A stand-
ard cable from an iPod or MP3 player can be
routed under the cover to the AUX connector
in the storage compartment.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on
the device that has been connected:
1.
UseMODE to select
iPod
or
USB
. The text
CONNECT DEVICE
will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the
center console storage compartment (see
the illustration).
The text
LOADING
will be displayed while the
system loads the files (folder structure) on the
device. This may take a short time.
When information about the files (the folder
structure) on the device has been loaded, the
resulting list includes information on the artist,
genre and song title.
To navigate in the folder structure, press
ENTER and scroll up and down the folders
using the arrow buttons (on the audio system
control panel or on the steering wheel keypad).
Press the right arrow button to select a folder.
Press the left arrow button to go up a level inthe folder structure. Press ENTER to go down
a level in the folder structure.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
•
Turn the Tuning knob clockwise or coun-
terclockwise
•
Use the right or left arrow keys on the nav-
igation control to select the desired track.
The arrow keys on the steering wheel key-
pad can also be used in the same way.NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the
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/
Mass Storage Device.
iPodAn iPod receives current and its battery is
charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the iPod
is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source,
the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPOD. See
the iPOD's manual for detailed information.For further information, refer to the accessory
manual USB/iPod Music Interface.Rear control panel with headphones
socket (option)Headphones with an impedance of
16 – 32 ohm and sensitivity of 102 dB or higher
