nOperating Tips for In-Dash CD
Changer
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical
components (prism and lens) in the In-dash
CD changer may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will eject
immediately when placed in the unit. A
clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical
components will clear naturally in about an
hour. Wait for normal operation to return
before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the In-dash CD changer
The following precautions should be
observed.
l
Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
l Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.
l The CD revolves at high speed within the
unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs
should never be used. l
Do not use non-conventional discs such as
heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The
disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.
l If the memory portion of the CD is
transparent or translucent, do not use the
disc.
l A new CD may have rough edges on its
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper setting will not
be possible and the In-dash CD changer
will not play the CD. In addition, the disc
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance by
using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown
below. To remove the rough edges, rub the
side of the pen or pencil against the inner
and outer perimeter of the CD.
l When driving over uneven surfaces,
the sound may jump.

nOperating tips for MP3
l
This audio system handles MP3 files that
have been recorded on CD-R/CDRW/CD-
ROMs. Discs that have been recorded
using the following formats can be played:
• ISO9660 level 1
• ISO 9660 level 2
• Joliet extended format
• Romeo extended format
l This unit handles MP3 files conforming to
the MP3 format containing both header
frames and data frames.
l If a disc has both music data (CD-DA) and
MP3 files, playback of the two file types
differs depending on how the disc was
recorded.
l Packet written discs cannot be played on
this unit.
l This unit does not play CDs recorded
using MP3i (MP3 interactive), MP3 PRO
and RIFF MP3 formats. Specialized glossary
MP3
Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”.
A technical standard for audio compression
as decided by an ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) MPEG
working group.
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of the
source data size.
ISO 9660
An international standard for logical
formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.
It is divided into three separate levels based
on differences in file naming procedures,
data configuration and other characteristics.
Bit rate
Refers to the volume of data per second,
expressed in bps (bits per second).
Generally, the larger the number of the
transfer bit rate when compressing an MP3
file, the more information regarding musical
reproduction it carries, and therefore the
better the sound quality.
Packet writing
A general term for the method, similar to that
used for floppy discs or hard drives, of
recording the required file in a single
increment on a CD-R and similar.

Rear View Monitor
Rear View Monitor
Rear View Monitor Cautions
The rear view monitor is a visual assist system when reversing the vehicle that provides
images from the rear of the vehicle.
Note
l
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot
be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
l If the camera temperature changes rapidly, such as by pouring hot water on it under cold
temperature conditions, the rear view monitor may not operate correctly.
Rear View Parking Camera Location
The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when reversing the vehicle. The images on
the screen may be different from the actual conditions. Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes. Reversing the
vehicle by only looking at the screen may cause an accident or a collision with an object.
lWhen the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen
and may be dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
l Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle
may deviate.
l Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
l The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any
are spilled on the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.
l Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or
a hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.
