•The system can register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices
•Volume level bet ween different audio modes:
-When switching bet ween audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to Bluetooth® Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
-When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
•Prolonged use of the audio system in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s bat ter y
•A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the navigation system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent bat ter y discharge
