7-36 Infotainment System
The iPod's battery charges while it
is connected to the vehicle and if
the ignition is turned to ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can
also be left connected to the vehicle
after the vehicle is turned off. With
the vehicle turned off, the iPod will
automatically be powered off and
will not charge or draw power from
the vehicle's battery.
A standard iPod USB cable, like the
one that came with the iPod, cannot
be used to connect an iPod to the
vehicle. The special iPod
connection cable that came
equipped with the vehicle or that
was made available from your
dealer must be used to command
and control an iPod.
Use a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in)
stereo cable to connect an older
iPod model that is not supported,
or if the special iPod connection
cable is missing. Command and
control of the iPod using the
infotainment control buttons and
knobs is not supported when only a
3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo cable is used.
Commanding and Controlling
an iPod
An iPod can be controlled by using
the radio buttons and knobs; the
song information shows on the
infotainment system's display. To
connect and control the iPod using
the radio controls, use the special
iPod connection cable that came as
standard equipment with the vehicle
as part of the USB option. The
special iPod connection cable can
also be purchased or made
available from your dealer. See your
dealer for more information.
Use the MENU/SELECT knob to
bring up the iPod Menu and select
Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists,
and Audio Books to play from
the iPod.
Disconnecting an iPod
To properly dismount the iPod USB
device before disconnecting from
the vehicle, press the softkey under
the EJECT tab on the infotainment
display screen during iPod
playback.
Phone
Bluetooth
For vehicles equipped with
Bluetooth capability, the system can
interact with many cell phones,
allowing:
.
Placement and receipt of calls in
a hands-free mode.
.
Sharing of the cell phone’s
address book or contact list with
the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle
parked:
.
Become familiar with the
features of the cell phone.
Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.
.
Review the controls and
operation of the infotainment
system.
