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.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be played even after the ignition is turned off. See "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information.
The audio system is operated using the navigation system menus.

Touch SOUND at the bottom of the main audio screen or source menu to change the tone, ATC, fade, and balance for all sources. The audio system has a separate setting for these features for each source preset. However, the audio system keeps one fade and one balance setting for all audio sources.
To adjust sound settings, do the following:

After adjustments are made, touch the back screen button. This will take you back to the preset station menu. Whenever you touch that screen button, the previously stored information you have entered for each preset station will be recalled.
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio can do the following:
• | Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming |
• | Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies |
• | Display messages from radio stations |
• | Seek to stations with traffic announcements |
If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS information, the station's Program Service (PS) and Program Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the status line at the top of the display. After about five seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced on the display by the station's PTY name. The PTY and PTY name may be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS information, the station's frequency will remain on the display.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specific information from RDS stations. These features will only work when RDS information is available.
TA (Traffic Announcement): Touch TA to receive traffic announcements. The audio system will turn on the TA display. TA will appear on the display if the current station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the current station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system will seek to a station which will. When the audio system finds a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off. While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, use the VOL up or down buttons during the announcement. See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Navigation Set Up for more information. When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio station, you will hear it even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player was being used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.Once you have stored a PTY for each of your preset stations, you can recall a PTY preset by touching the preset station for less than two seconds. Then use TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to locate a station for that PTY selection.
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. ALERT appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. The audio system uses TA volume during these announcements. To increase volume, use the VOL up and down buttons during the announcement. See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Navigation Set Up for more information. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station you will hear it even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player is playing, the player will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished.XM™ is a satellite radio service that is based in the 48 contiguous United States.
