Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can be added by checking with your dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment can be added, it is very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added.

Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts, parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work. Make sure that replacement or additional equipment is compatible with the vehicle before installing it. See "Accessories and Modifications" in the Index of the vehicle's owner manual.

The audio system has been designed to operate easily and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your audio system can do and how to operate all its features to be sure you are getting the most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.

The ignition must be in a position other than OFF or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be active for your audio system to work. See "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information.

The audio system is operated using menus located on the Navigation System screen. The audio menus are explained in this section.
