Portable Audio Player

A portable audio player (iPod

®

, Palm

®

,

MP3 player or other portable-type 

player) can be connected to the auxiliary

input jack located on the radio. When

connected, the audio system automati-

cally begins playing audio from the

portable player over the vehicle

speakers. To optimize volume, fully

increase the volume on your portable

player.

Using the USB Port (if equipped)

The USB port is located on the front of

the radio. A connected USB storage

device or an iPod

®

can be controlled

using the radio buttons and knobs. The

iPod music will appear on the radio dis-

play and begin playing automatically. 

MP3 Capability

A CD-R or CD-RW containing MP3

audio files will play automatically when

inserted into the CD player. An MP3

label will be displayed.

Radio Data System

When you tune to a Radio Data System

(RDS) station, the station name and call

letters will appear on the display instead

of the frequency. RDS stations may also

provide the time of day, a program type

for current programming and the name

of the program being broadcast.
RDS features are available for use only

on FM stations that broadcast RDS

information. RDS relies on receiving

specific information from these stations

and will work only when the information

is available.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Note:

CDs with any affixed labels may

jam in the CD player. Label a CD using

a permanent marker. If more than one

CD is inserted into the slot at a time,

or if scratched or damaged CDs are

played, the CD player could be dam-

aged. When using the CD player, use

only CDs in good condition without

labels; load one CD at a time; and keep

the CD player and the loading slot free

of foreign materials, liquids or debris.
