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.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the ve-
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the
proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BE-
FORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min-
ute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as in-
tended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
93

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle.If the A/C system is on, turn it off.Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle.If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine
off immediately.
We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.
- Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check.During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously.Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting”
in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application.If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is
at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the
