You can change playlists by using the pre-
vious and next folder buttons, the tuner
knob, or the seek buttons. You can also
play an MP3 CD-R that was recorded
using no file folders. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 15
playlists, and 512 folders and files, the
player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maxi-
mum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as the CD label. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3 files, a folder under
the root directory called CD access all of
the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where in the file structure that contains
only folders/subfolders and no compressed
files directly beneath them, the player
advances to the next folder in the file struc-
ture that contains compressed audio files.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed
files, the files are located under the rootfolder. The next and previous folder func-
tions do not display on a CD-R that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio files, but no folders, all
files are located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons
searches playlists (Px) first and then goes
to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:
 Play begins from the first track in the first
playlist and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist has been
played, play continues from the first track
of the first playlist.
 Play begins from the first track in the first
folder and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each folder. When
the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless you have chosen the folder
mode as the default display. The new track
name appears on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song
name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the
song name is not present in the ID3 tag,then the radio displays the file name with-
out the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. The display
does not show parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of the file-
name is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists
that were created using WinAmp
TM, Music-
Match
TM, or Real Jukebox
TM software,
however, you do not have playlist editing
capability using the radio. These playlists
are treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R partway into the slot label
side up. The player pulls it in, and the CD-
R should begin playing.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a
CD-R in the player it stays in the player.
When you turn on the ignition or radio, the
CD-R starts to play where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track
number and song title appears on the dis-
play.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch
(8 cm) single CD-Rs with an adapter ring.
Full-size CD-Rs and the smaller CD-Rs
are loaded in the same manner.

depending on the number of MP3 files
recorded to the CD-R. The radio may
begin playing while it is scanning the disc
in the background. When the scan is fin-
ished, the CD-R begins playing again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the
player defaults to playing MP3 files in order
by artist. The current artist playing is
shown on the second line of the display
between the arrows. Once all songs by that
artist are played, the player moves to the
next artist in alphabetical order on the CD-
R and begins playing MP3 files by that art-
ist. If you want to listen to MP3 files by
another artist, press the pushbutton
located below either arrow button. You will
go to the next or previous artist in alpha-
betical order. Continue pressing either but-
ton until the desired artist is displayed.
To change from playback by artist to play-
back by album, press the pushbutton
located below the Sort By label. From the
sort screen, push one of the buttons below
the album button. Press the pushbutton
below the back label to return to the main
music navigator screen. Now the album
name is displayed on the second line
between the arrows and songs from the
current album begins to play. Once all
songs from that album are played, the
player moves to the next album in alpha-
betical order on the CD-R and begin play-
ing MP3 files from that album.To exit music navigator mode, press the
pushbutton below the Back label to return
to normal MP3 playback.
BAND:
Press this button to listen to the radio when
a CD is playing. The CD remains safely
inside the radio for future listening.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):
Press this button to play a CD when listen-
ing to the radio. The CD icon and a mes-
sage showing disc and/or track number
appears on the display when a CD is in the
player. Press this button again and the sys-
tem automatically searches for an auxiliary
input device such as a portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is not con-
nected, “No Input Device Found” displays.
Using an MP3
(Radio with CD and DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc Com-
pressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that contain
both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files)
and MP3/WMA files depending on which
slot the disc is loaded into. By default the
radio reads only the uncompressed audio
(.CDA) and ignores the MP3/WMA files on
the DVD deck. On the CD deck, pressing
the CAT button toggles between com-
pressed and uncompressed audio format,
the default being the uncompressed format
(.CDA).MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
 Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on
a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
 Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files
on one disc.
 The CD player (lower slot) is able to read
and play a maximum combination of 512
files and folders. The DVD player (upper
slot) is able to read 255 folders, 15 playl-
ists and 40 sessions.
 Create a folder structure that makes it
easy to find songs while driving. Orga-
nize songs by albums using one folder
for each album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
 Avoid subfolders. The system can sup-
port up to eight subfolders deep, how-
ever, keep the total number of folders to
a minimum in order to reduce the com-
plexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
 Make sure playlists have a .m3u, .wpl or
.pls extension as other file extensions
may not work.
 Minimize the length of the file, folder or
playlist names. Long file, folder, or playl-
ist names, or a combination of a large
number of files and folders, or playlists
may cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of files, folders,
playlists, or sessions, minimize the

3-62 INSTRUMENT PANEL
78J00-03E
length of the file, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
 Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
may cause the disc not to function in the
player.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as F1 ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where in the file structure that contains
only folders/subfolders and no compressed
files directly beneath them, the player
advances to the next folder in the file struc-
ture that contains compressed audio files.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed
files, the files are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder func-
tion does not function on a CD-R that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio files, but no folders, allfiles are located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons
search playlists (Px) first and then goes to
the root folder. When the radio displays the
name of the folder the radio displays
ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:
 Play begins from the first track in the first
playlist and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first playlist.
 Play begins from the first track in the first
folder and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each folder. When
the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless the folder mode was chosen
as the default display. The new track name
displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag.
If the song name is not present in the ID3
tag, then the radio displays the file name
without the extension (such as .mp3) as
the track name.Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. Parts of words
on the last page of text and the extension
of the filename displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created
using WinAmp
TM, MusicMatch
TM, or Real
Jukebox
TM software can be accessed,
however, they cannot be edited using the

tion of the disc. The menu reads left to
right as RDM (Randomize song play
order), a Folder icon with left and right
arrows (to move up or down through avail-
able folders), a PL tag if the disc has a
Playlist available, and a Music Navigator
tag. If a Playlist tag is shown, toggling this
key brings up a Folder softkey only or the
menu as previously described.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a
CD-R in the player, it stays in the player.

5-48 SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE
78J00-03E
Appearance CareCleaning the Inside of Your VehicleYour vehicle’s interior will continue to look
its best if it is cleaned often. Although not
always visible, dust and dirt can accumu-
late on your upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic sur-
faces. Regular vacuuming is recom-
mended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your
upholstery from becoming and remaining
heavily soiled. Soils should be removed as
quickly as possible. Your vehicle’s interior
may experience extremes of heat that
could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more
frequent cleaning. Use care because
newspapers and garments that transfer
color to your home furnishings may also
transfer color to your vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only
use cleaners specifically designed for the
surfaces being cleaned. Permanent dam-
age may result from using cleaners on sur-
faces for which they were not intended.
Use glass cleaner only on glass. Remove
any accidental over-spray from other sur-
faces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.Many cleaners contain solvents that may
become concentrated in your vehicle’s
breathing space. Before using cleaners,
read and adhere to all safety instructions
on the label. While cleaning your vehicle’s
interior, maintain adequate ventilation by
opening your vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons
and knobs using a small brush with soft
bristles.
Your SUZUKI dealer has a product for
cleaning your vehicle’s glass. Should it
become necessary, you can also obtain a
product from your SUZUKI dealer to
remove odors from your vehicle’s uphol-
stery.
Do not clean your vehicle using the follow-
ing cleaners or techniques:
 Never use a knife or any other sharp
object to remove a soil from any interior
surface. Never use a stiff brush. It can cause
damage to your vehicle’s interior sur-
faces.
 Never apply heavy pressure or rub
aggressively with a cleaning cloth. Use
of heavy pressure can damage your
interior and does not improve the effec-
tiveness of soil removal.
 Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps. Avoid
laundry detergents or dishwashing
soaps with degreasers. Using too much
soap will leave a residue that leaves
streaks and attracts dirt. For liquid clean-
ers, about 20 drops per gallon (3.78 L) of
water is a good guide.
 Do not heavily saturate your upholstery
while cleaning.
 Damage to your vehicle’s interior may
result from the use of many organic sol-
vents such as naptha, alcohol, etc.
Fabric/CarpetUse a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment frequently to remove dust and
loose dirt. A canister vacuum with a beater
bar in the nozzle may only be used on floor
carpet and carpeted floor mats. For soils,
always try to remove them first with plain
water or club soda. Before cleaning, gently
remove as much of the soil as possible
using one of the following techniques:
 For liquids: gently blot the remaining soil
with a paper towel. Allow the soil to
absorb into the paper towel until no more
can be removed.
CAUTION
If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehi-
cle, you could scratch the glass and/
or cause damage to the rear window
defogger. When cleaning the glass
on your vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
