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).
•To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out.
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 sys-
tem 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 ensures 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 consider-
ably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the play list.
•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.

Automatic Transmission
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
•Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
If the ignition key is unavailable, or the battery is discharged, refer to “Shift Lever Over-
ride” in this section for instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK in order to
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•DO NOT
flat tow any vehicle equipped with a conventional automatic transmission.Damage
to the drivetrain will result.If these vehicles require towing, make sure all drive
wheels are OFF the ground.
•Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe trans-
mission damage.Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking
motion.Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/2nd gear and REVERSE.Using minimal
accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is
most effective.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
