Your vehicle is equipped with an

auxiliary input jack (AIJ) located in

the center console. The auxiliary

input jack provides a way to connect

your portable music player to the

in-vehicle audio system. This allows

the audio from a portable music

player to be played through the

vehicle speakers with high fidelity.

To achieve optimal performance,

please observe the following

instructions when attaching your

portable music device to the audio

system.

If your vehicle is equipped with a

navigation system, refer to

Auxiliary input jack section in the

Audio features chapter of your

Navigation System supplement.

Required equipment:

1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones

2. An audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm)

connectors at each end

To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack:

1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off.

2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully

charged and that the device is turned off.

3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output

of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the AIJ

in your vehicle.

4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into

the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the

volume.

6. Press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until LINE, LINE IN or

SYNC LINE IN appears in the display.

You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may

be low.

7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the

level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the

AUX and FM or CD controls.

Troubleshooting:

1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level

outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not

compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices

that have a headphone output with a volume control.

2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is

necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio

system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many

portable music players have different output levels, so not all players

should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full

volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.

3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the

portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or

recharge the batteries in the portable music player.

4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner

when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control

(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.

5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your

portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is

moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure

location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is

in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the

portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
