USB Port
Connect your iPod®or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USB
Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Audio from the device can be played on
the vehicle's sound system while providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
When connected, the iPod®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list
the contents.
The iPod®battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific
device.)

NOTE:
•WhenconnectingyouriPod®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod®features and only happens the
first time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod®will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•Ifyourvehiclebecomesstuckinmud,sandorsnow,itcanoftenbemovedbyarocking
motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pushing the
accelerator. Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
•AllowtheenginetoidlewiththetransmissioninNEUTRALforatleastoneminuteafter
every five rocking-motion cycles. This minimizes overheating and reduce the risk of
transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE:
•ShiftsbetweenDRIVEandREVERSEcanonlybeachievedatwheelspeedsof5mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more than
2seconds,youmustpushthebrakepedaltoengageDRIVEorREVERSE.
•IfyourvehicleisequippedwithElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)thenpushthe"ESC
Off" switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in "Partial Off" mode,
before rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheat-
ing and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph
(48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
