WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect the USB
device while driving. Doing so can be a
distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent or serious injury.
CAUTION
●Do not force the USB device into the
USB port. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side-down into the port may
damage the USB device and the port.
Make sure that the USB device is con-
nected correctly into the USB port.
● Do not grab the USB port cover (if so
equipped) when pulling the USB device
out of the port. This could damage the
port and the cover.
● Do not leave the USB cable in a place
where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may break the wire,
USB device or the port. ●
To avoid damage and loss of function
when using a USB device, note the fol-
lowing precautions.
– Do not bend the cable excessively (1.6 in [40 mm]) radius minimum.
– Do not twist the cable excessively (more than 180 degrees) .
– Do not pull or drop the cable.
– Do not hit or press the USB port or USB device with hands, feet, or
objects.
– Do not store objects with sharp edges in the storage area where the
cable is stored.
– Do not leave the USB device and attached devices in the vehicle com-
partment. When not in use for ex-
tended periods of time, store the
cable and USB device in a clean, dust
free environment at room tempera-
ture and without direct sun exposure.
– Do not use the cable for any other purposes than its intended use in the
vehicle. The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
device. USB devices should be purchased
separately as necessary.
This system cannot be used to format USB
devices. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
In some states/area, the USB device for
the front seats plays only sound without
images for regulatory reasons, even when
the vehicle is parked.
This system supports various USB
memory devices, USB hard drives and
iPod® players. Some USB devices may
not be supported by this system.
●
Partitioned USB devices may not play
correctly.
● Some characters used in other lan-
guages (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) may
not appear properly in the display. Us-
ing English language characters with a
USB device is recommended.
General notes for USB use:
● The USB device may not function when
the passenger compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Lower the tem-
perature before use.
4-42Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to humid-
ity. If this occurs, remove the USB de-
vice and dehumidify or ventilate the
USB player completely.
● Do not connect a USB device if a con-
nector, cable or USB port is wet. Allow
the connector, cable, and USB port to
dry completely before connecting the
USB device. (Wait for 24 hours or more
until it is dry.) If the connector and USB
port are exposed to fluids other than
water, evaporative residue may cause a
short circuit between the connector
pins and USB port. In this case, replace
the cable and USB port. Otherwise
damage to the USB device and a loss of
function may occur.
● If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination
such as liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the
connectors) , do not use the cable. Re-
place the cable with a new one.
● Do not put a USB device in a location
where static electricity occurs, electri-
cal noise is generated or hot air from
the air conditioner blows directly on it.
Doing so may cause the data stored on
the USB device to be corrupted. Notes for iPod® use:
iPod® is a trademark of Apple Inc., regis-
tered in the U.S. and other countries.
●
Improperly plugging in the iPod may
cause a checkmark to be displayed on
and off (flickering) . Always make sure
that the iPod is connected properly.
● An iPod® nano (1st Generation) may
remain in fast forward or rewind mode if
it is connected during a seek operation.
In this case, please manually reset the
iPod.
● An iPod® nano (2nd Generation) will
continue to fast-forward or rewind if it
is disconnected during a seek
operation.
● An incorrect song title may appear
when the Play Mode is changed while
using an iPod® nano (2nd Generation) .
● Audiobooks may not play in the same
order as they appear on an iPod®.
● Large video files cause slow responses
in an iPod®. The vehicle center display
may momentarily black out, but will
soon recover. ●
If an iPod® automatically selects large
video files while in the shuffle mode,
the vehicle center display may momen-
tarily black out, but will soon recover.
Bluetooth® streaming audio (if so
equipped)
● Some Bluetooth® audio devices may not be
recognized by the in-vehicle audio system.
● It is necessary to set up the wireless con-
nection between a compatible Bluetooth®
audio device and the in-vehicle Bluetooth®
module before using the Bluetooth® audio.
● Operating procedure of the Bluetooth® au-
dio will vary depending on the devices. Make
sure how to operate your audio device be-
fore using it with this system.
● The Bluetooth® audio may be stopped un-
der the following conditions:
● Receiving a call on the Hands-Free
Phone System.
● Checking the connection to the hands-
