Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 les that were recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be recorded with
the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56 kbps,
64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps,
160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps, and 320 kbps
or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album
are available for display by the radio when recorded using
ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3 les.
By default the radio reads only the uncompressed audio
and ignore the MP3 les. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension,
other le extensions may not work.

feature to play MP3 les on the CD-R or CD-RW in order
by artist or album. Press the pushbutton located below
the music navigator label. The player scans the disc to
sort the les by artist and album ID3 tag information.

playing is shown on the second line of the display

played, the player moves to the next artist in alphabetical
order on the CD-R/CD-RW and begins playing MP3 les
by that artist. If you want to listen to MP3 les by another
artist, press the pushbutton located below either arrow
button. The disc goes to the next or previous artist in

From the sort screen, push one of the buttons below the
album button. Press the pushbutton below the back label

album name is displayed on the second line between the
arrows and songs from the current album begins to play.

moves to the next album in alphabetical order on the
CD-R/CD-RW and begins playing MP3 les 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 while a
CD is playing. The inactive CD remains inside the radio

while listening to the radio. The CD icon and a message
showing disc and/or track number displays while a CD
is in the player. Press this button again and the system

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance
of circuit overload and re caused by electrical
problems.
There are three fuse blocks - the main underhood fuse
block, the auxiliary hybrid underhood fuse block and
the instrument panel fuse block.
To identify and check fuses and relays, refer to the
Fuse Usage Chart on the inside surface of the
fuse panel door.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the
passenger side of the lower console.
Pull the latch of the fuse box cover straight back to
access the fuses.
