Auxiliary Gage Package
A. Volt Gage
B. Delivered Torque Gage
C. Outside Temperature Gage
Your vehicle may have an auxiliary gage package
located at the front of the center console.
Volt Gage
This gage (A) is located
on the left side of the
gage package.
When your engine is not running, but the ignition is
in RUN, this gage shows your battery’s state of charge
in DC volts.
When the ignition is on and the engine is running, the
gage shows the condition of the charging system.
Readings between the low and high warning zones
indicate the normal operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a
large number of electrical accessories are operating in
the vehicle and the engine is left at an idle for an
extended period. This condition is normal since the
charging system is not able to provide full power
at engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this
condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds
allow the charging system to create maximum power. United States shown, Canada similar

when listening to the radio. The CD symbol will appear

Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
•Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
•Make sure to finalize the disc when burning an MP3
disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to
burn the disc all at once.
•Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album
will be available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
•Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on
one disc.
•Make sure playlists have a.pls, or.m3u, or.rmp
extension, other file extensions may not work.The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files.
Long file names, folder names, or playlist names may
use more disc memory space than necessary. To
conserve space on the disc, minimize the length of the
file, folder or playlist names. You can also play an
MP3 CD that was recorded using no file folders. The
system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though,
keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order
to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files the player will let
you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or files.
