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.

3.Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking location.
Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel to be changed.
4.Using the swivel wrench, raise the ve-
hicle by turning the jack screw to the
right.Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire.
Minimum tire lift provides maximum
stability.
5.Remove the wheel bolts and pull the
wheel off the hub.For vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels, the
center caps must be removed to re-
move the wheel bolts.
NOTE:
The wheel cover is held on the wheel by
the wheel bolts.When reinstalling the origi-
nal wheel, properly align the wheel cover to
the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto
the wheel, then install the wheel bolts.
6.Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts
with the cone shaped end of the bolts
toward the wheel.Lightly tighten the
bolts.To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the
bolts fully until the vehicle has been
lowered.
7.Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the left.
8.Finish tightening the bolts.Push down
on the wrench while tightening the
wheel bolts.Alternate bolts until each bolt has been tightened twice.The correct
wheel bolt torque is 63 ft lbs (86 N·m) for steel wheels and 89 ft lbs (120 N·m) for
aluminum wheels.If you doubt that you have tightened the bolts correctly, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
9.Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the in the rear cargo area.
10.Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area.Have the tire repaired or replaced as
soon as possible.
11.Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible.Correct the tire pressure as re-
quired.

WARNING!
•Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
•Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.The vehicle could slip off the jack
and fall on you.You could be crushed.Never put any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack.
•Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.if you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a authorized dealer where it can be raised on a
lift.
•The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only.The jack should not be
used to lift the vehicle for service purposes.The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm, level surface only.Avoid ice or slippery areas.
•After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and loca-
tion.While driving you may experience abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration, or
sharp turns.A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move
around with force, resulting in serious injury.
•Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
•Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible before raising the vehicle.
•Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
•Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
•Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK; a manual
transmission in REVERSE.
•Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
•Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
•Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire
change.
•If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
•To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be
stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
•Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle unstable and cause
a collision.It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.Raise the vehicle
only enough to remove the tire.
•A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could injure some-
one in the vehicle.Always stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel in the
places provided.
