PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION  

USING THE USB PORT OR AUX JACK

Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port and 

auxiliary AUX jack, located below the climate control 

system, that allows you to play your iPod, USB 

device, or portable audio player through the vehicle’s 

audio system. Learn the system when parked and 

do not let it distract you while driving.

12 VOLT ACCESSORY SOCKETS

The accessory socket located below the climate control system (if equipped) 

only has power when the ignition is in ON or ACC. The accessory sockets 

located in the center console and in the rear cabin have power, regardless of 

the ignition position.

Audio USB and AUX Inputs

NOTE: 

When using a USB memory stick, the system plays the first audio file when 

restarting the vehicle. It does not start where it left off when turning off the engine.

NOTE: 

When using the accessory socket in the center console or rear cabin, make 

sure to disconnect any device from it when turning off the ignition; otherwise, the 

vehicle’s battery could go dead.
