USING YOUR USB DEVICE
• When using an external USB
device, make sure the device is
not connected when starting up
the vehicle.
• If you start the engine when the

electric shock.) Connect the
device after starting up.

• Depending on the condition of
the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
• When the formatted byte/sector
setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.

ted to FAT 12/16/32.

connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may break
the device.
• You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device.
• If you disconnect the external

Therefore, disconnect the exter-
nal USB device when the audio
is turned off or in another mode.
(e.g, Radio, SIRIUS or CD)
• Depending on the type and
capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.

purposes other than playing
music files.

terminal of the vehicle.
• If the USB device is divided by
logical drives, only the music
files on the highest-priority drive
are recognized by car audio.
