USB
Playing from a USB
A USB mass storage or Certified
Windows Vista®/Media Transfer
Protocol (MTP) device can be
connected to the USB port.
The USB port is in the center
console under the armrest.
The USB icon displays when the
USB device is connected.
USB Media Formats
The USB port will support the
following media formats:
.MP3
.Unprotected WMA
.Unprotected AAC
Other formats may be supported.
Gracenote®
Gracenote technology embedded
into the radio helps manage and
navigate the USB device music
collection. When a USB device is
connected to the radio, Gracenote
identifies the music collection and
delivers the correct album, artist
name, genres, and cover art on the
screen. If information is missing,
Gracenote will fill it in.
Searching Music Library Using
Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition: Gracenote
improves music search and
navigation by identifying bands,
artists, and albums names that may be hard to pronounce, irregular
spellings, and nicknames. For
example, Gracenote helps the
system understand artist names like
“INXS”
or“Mötley Crüe.” It also
allows the use of names like: “The
Boss,” “G.N.R,” “The Fab Four,” and
thousands of other famous artist
nicknames as voice commands to
access music. See Voice
Recognition on page 7-68.
Normalization: Normalization helps
to improve the voice recognition
accuracy for titles that sound similar.
It also helps group long lists of
genres into 10 common genres. For
example, there may be multiple rock
genres in the media library;
normalization will group all those
into one rock genre. Normalization
default is off.

Driving and Operating 9-29
If driving safely on a wet road and it
becomes necessary to slam on the
brakes and continue braking to
avoid a sudden obstacle, a
computer senses the wheels are
slowing down. If one of the wheels
is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at
each wheel.
ABS can change the brake pressure
to each wheel, as required, faster
than any driver could. This can help
you steer around the obstacle while
braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the
computer keeps receiving updates
on wheel speed and controls
braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change
the time needed to get a foot up to
the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too
close to the vehicle in front of you,
there will not be enough time to
apply the brakes if that vehiclesuddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold
the brake pedal down firmly and let
ABS work. You may hear the ABS
pump or motor operating and feel
the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.
Electric Parking Brake
The vehicle has an Electric Parking
Brake (EPB). The switch is on the
center console. The EPB can
always be activated, even if the
ignition is off. To prevent draining
the battery, avoid repeated cycles of
the EPB when the engine is not
running.
