WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect the USB
device while driving. Doing so can be a
distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an ac-
cident or serious injury.
CAUTION
• Do not force the USB device into the
USB port. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side-down into the port
may damage the USB device and the
port. Make sure that the USB device is
connected correctly into the USB port.
• Do not grab the USB port cover (if so
equipped) when pulling the USB de-
vice out of the port. This could damage
the port and the cover.
• Do not leave the USB cable in a place
where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may break the wire,
USB device or the port.
• To avoid damage and loss of function
when using a USB device, note the
following precautions.
– Do not bend the cable excessively
(1.6 in [40 mm]) radius minimum.
– Do not twist the cable excessively
(more than 180 degrees).
– Do not pull or drop the cable.
– Do not hit or press the USB port or
USB device with hands, feet, or ob-
jects.
– Do not store objects with sharp
edges in the storage area where the
cable is stored.
– Do not leave the USB device and
attached devices in the vehicle com-
partment. When not in use for ex-
tended periods of time, store the
cable and USB device in a clean,
dust free environment at room tem-
perature and without direct sun ex-
posure.
– Do not use the cable for any other
purposes than its intended use in
the vehicle.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB device.
USB devices should be purchased separately as
necessary. This system cannot be used to format
USB devices. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer. In some states/area, the USB
device for the front seats plays only sound with-
out images for regulatory reasons, even when the
vehicle is parked.
This system supports various USB memory de-
vices, USB hard drives and iPod® players. Some
USB devices may not be supported by this sys-
tem.
Partitioned USB devices may not play correctly.
Some characters used in other languages (Chi-
nese, Japanese, etc.) may not appear properly in
the display. Using English language characters
with a USB device is recommended.
General notes for USB use:
• The USB device may not function when the
passenger compartment temperature is ex-
tremely high. Lower the temperature before use.
• During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to humidity. If this occurs,
remove the USB device and dehumidify or ven-
tilate the USB player completely.
• Do not connect a USB device if a connector,
cable or USB port is wet. Allow the connector,
cable, and USB port to dry completely before
connecting the USB device. (Wait for 24 hours
or more until it is dry.) If the connector and USB
port are exposed to fluids other than water,
evaporative residue may cause a short circuit
