Toybox

But wait, there's more! Below is a list of toys that have been discovered so far and how to access them. To access all discovered toys, touch the Toybox icon in the application launcher (see Touchscreen Overview on page 4).

For This... Do This...

NOTE: Depending on vehicle configuration or market region, Entertainment, Arcade, and/or Theater may not be available on your vehicle.

Santa Mode "What have you been longing for?" Enjoy the holidays year-round with this one! Simply initiate a voice command (see Using Voice Commands on page 148) and say "Ho Ho Ho".

When Boombox is enabled, external volume cannot be controlled, except when you choose Play Current Media. You can customize the sounds by plugging in a specifcally-formatted USB drive (see Formatting a USB drive for Boombox on page ). NOTE: Check local laws before use in public spaces.
