Make sure the following warnings and cautions have been read and fully understood before using any of the portable media controls or features. Failure to use the portable media controls or features safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury, death, or damage to the vehicle and its components.
Do not adjust the touchscreen controls, or allow the system to distract the driver, while the vehicle is moving. Driver distraction can lead to accidents.
Make sure that any media devices are stored securely while the vehicle is in motion. Any loose objects are potential hazards during sudden maneuvers, emergency braking situations or accidents.
Sustained exposure to high sound levels, greater than 85 decibels, can damage hearing.
Read the manufacturer’s instructions for any device before it is connected to the media system. Make sure that the device is suitable. Comply with any instructions regarding connection and operation. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle’s media system or the media device.
It is recommended not to use a hard disc drive via the USB link. The devices are not designed for in-vehicle use and may be damaged.
USB memory stick devices exceeding 3 inches (70mm) in length, must not be connected to the media hub. Using devices exceeding this length can result in damage to the media device or hub on closure of the cubby box lid on the center console.
If an iPod is connected, disconnect before leaving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the iPod battery discharging.
Avoid spilling or splashing liquids onto the touchscreen. The spilling or splashing of liquids could cause the touchscreen to malfunction or even lead to complete failure.

Compatible portable devices include:
- USB mass storage devices, e.g., a memory stick. Devices must use FAT or FAT32.
NOTES
External hard drives are not recommended for use. Doing so could reduce the life of the device.
NOTESIt is recommended that the USB mass storage device does not exceed 128GB. USB mass storage devices exceeding the maximum recommendation could cause a malfunction of the infotainment system.
NOTESDepending on the memory size of the USB mass storage device, a time delay may be evident before the stored files can be accessed.
- iPod: iPad, iPod Touch, iPod Mini, iPhone, iPod Nano and iPod Classic Gen4, Gen5, Gen6 are supported. Full functionality for older devices cannot be guaranteed. iPod Classic Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, and iPod Shuffle are not supported.
NOTES

If connecting an iPod, mass storage, or Bluetooth® wireless technology device, use the touchscreen to operate and search the device.
The media system plays MP3, WMA, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and ALAC files. Other formats are available.
If a software update has been activated on the connected portable media device, it is necessary to restart the media device. Restarting the device makes sure it is recognized by the media system.
To maximize playback quality, it is recommended that lossless compression is used for any media files on USB mass storage devices. Failing this, it is recommended that compressed files utilize a minimum bit rate of 192 kb/s. A higher bit rate is strongly recommended.
