Auxiliary Devices

The 3.5 mm (1/8 in) input jack and the USB port (if equipped), located in the center console bin, allow portable devices to connect to the vehicle. This is not an audio output; do not plug headphones into the auxiliary input jack.

Set up auxiliary devices while the vehicle is stopped. See Defensive Driving for more information on driver distraction.

When a device is first connected to the 3.5mm (1/8 in) input jack or the USB port (if equipped) the infotainment system automatically switches to that device. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the AUX or CD/AUX button.
