any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
“Defensive Driving”
in the Index of
the vehicle owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the auxiliary input jack. When a

your iPod song information on the
radio’s display. To connect and
control an iPod using the radio
controls, the vehicle must have a
USB port. If it does, it is located in
the center console bin. A special

your dealer. See your dealer for
more information.

with the vehicle to the iPod’s dock
connector. Connect the other end to
both the USB port and the auxiliary
input jack. The USB port and the
auxiliary input jack are located in
the center console bin. The iPod
music displays on the radio’s
display and begins playing through
the vehicle's radio system.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the
one that came with the iPod, cannot
be used to connect an iPod to the
vehicle. The iPod connection cable
that was purchased with the vehicle
or that was made available from
your dealer must be used in order
for this feature to work. Use the radio

also be left connected to the vehicle
while the vehicle is turned off or
removed. With the vehicle turned
off, the iPod automatically powers
off and will not charge or draw
power from the vehicle's battery.
If an older iPod model is used that
is not supported or does not have
the special iPod connection cable,
the iPod can still be used in the
vehicle by connecting it to the
Auxiliary Input Jack using a
standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo
cable. See “Using the Auxiliary Input
Jack” earlier for more information.Gracenote Database
