TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right frontpassenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk
of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air
bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.

PLAYING iPod/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices
through your vehicle's sound system.
1. Audio Jack
• The Audio Jack allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or a cassette player, to be plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound system, using a
3.5 mm audio cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the Player soft-key then choose AUX source will change the mode to auxiliary device if the Audio Jack is connected, allowing the music from your
portable device to be heard through the vehicle's speakers.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
2. 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. Then, audio from the device
can be played on the vehicles 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:
• When connecting your iPod®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 5 minutes for every 1000 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.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone
®devices. The
USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage
Class memory devices. Some iPod
®software versions may not fully support the USB
port features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod®software updates.
