and auxiliary AUX jack, conveniently located 

below the climate controls (without CD 

player) or in the center console (with CD player), that allows you to play your  

iPod, USB device, or portable audio player through the vehicle’s audio system. 

The center console is useful for storing your personal media/phone devices.  

Learn the system when parked and do not let it distract you while driving.

NOTE: 

When using the accessory socket in the center console, make sure to 

disconnect any device from it when turning off the ignition, otherwise the vehicle’s 

battery could go dead.
