This is not an audio output; do not
plug the headphone set into the
front auxiliary input jack. An external
audio device such as an iPod,
laptop computer, MP3 player, CD
player, or cassette tape player, etc.
can be connected to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another audio
source. Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
Defensive

The vehicle may have a rear
entertainment system (RSE) with a
second and third row screen. The
RSE has audio adapters to allow
you to connect auxiliary devices.
