CARING FOR YOUR CD PLAYER AND
DISCS
Your CD player is intended for use with
12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperature can keep
your CD player from working. On hot
days, use air conditioning to cool the
vehicle interior before you listen to a
disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD player skip.
If moisture gets into your CD player,
you may not hear any sound even
though your CD player appears to be
working. Remove the discs from the
CD player and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD player uses an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the unit. Be sure to operate
the player correctly.

Audio CDs
Use only compact discs marked as
shown above. The following products
may not be playable on your CD player.
SACDs

Special shaped discs
Transparent/translucent discs
Low quality discs
Labeled discs
NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, trans-
parent/translucent, low quality or
labeled discs such as those shown
in the illustrations. The use of such
discs may damage the player or
changer, or it may be impossible to
eject the disc.
This system is not designed for use
of Dual Disc. Do not use Dual Disc
because it may cause damage to
the player.
If a disc cannot be ejected, do not
forcibly take out the disc. Keep
pushing the “ ” button for
approximately 5 seconds and re-
lease it. At this time, the audio disc
and the map DVDROM will be
ejected.

Correct Wrong
Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend the-
m. Avoid getting fingerprints on them,
particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc
up to the light.)
Remove discs from the players when
you are not using them. Store them in
their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat, and direct sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a
soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-
ened with water. Wipe in a straight line
from the center to the edge of the disc (not
in circles). Dry it with another soft, lint−free
cloth. Do not use a conventional record
cleaner or anti −static device.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on−demand to
CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding track −re-
lated information in an MP3 file. This em-
bedded information can include the track
title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, com-
ments and other data. The contents can
be freely edited using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although the tags are re-
stricted to the number of characters, the in-
formation can be viewed when the track is
played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title,
artist name.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD−ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are two lev-
els of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character
file names, with a 3 character file exten-
sion. File names must be composed of
one−byte capital letters and numbers. The
“_” symbol may also be included.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark “.” and file
extension). Each folder must contain few-
er than 8 hierarchies.
m3u—
Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3—
MP3 is an audio compression standard de-
termined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about
1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA—
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft. It compresses files into a size smaller
than that of MP3 files. The decoding for-
mats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8, and 9.

Limitations of the navigation system 178
 Map database information and updates 180

APPENDIX
178
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some case 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
Limitations of the
navigation system

APPENDIX
179
(a) Accurate current vehicle position
may not be shown in the following
cases:
When driving on a small angled Y−
shaped road.
When driving on a winding road.
When driving on a slippery road such
as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
When driving on a long straight road.
When motorway and surface streets
run in parallel.
After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
When a long route is searched during
high speed driving.
When driving without setting the cur-
rent position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of direction by
going forward and backward, or turning
on a turntable in the parking lot.
When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
When a roof carrier is installed.
When driving with tire chains installed.
When the tires are worn.
After replacing a tire or tires.
When using tires that are smaller or
larger than the factory specifications.
When the tire pressure in any of the
four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct the current
position manually. For information
on setting the current position cal-
ibration, see page 118.
(b) Inappropriate route guidance may
occur in the following cases:
When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
If you set more than one destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will dis-
play a route returning to the destination
on the previous route.
When turning at an intersection for
which there is no route guidance.
When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
During auto reroute, the route guid-
ance may not be available for the next
turn to the right or left.
It may take a long time to operate auto
reroute during high speed driving. In
auto reroute, a detour route may be
shown.
After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
An unnecessary U −turn may be shown
or announced.
A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or
more.
Some routes may not be searched.
If the route to your destination includes
gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the
route guidance may not be shown.
Your destination point might be shown
on the opposite side of the street.
When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other
reasons.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be com-
plete or may not be the latest version.

APPENDIX
180
After replacing a tire, implement the op-
eration described in the “TIRE
CHANGE CALIBRATION”. (See page
120.)
This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory −
specified tires for your vehicle. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped diameter may cause inac-
curate display of the vehicle’s position.
The tire pressure also affects the diameter
of the tires so please make sure the tire
pressure of all four tires is correct. This system uses the maps of DENSO.
