Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC/ATRAC3)Explanation of terms:. MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near “CD
quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an
audio track can reduce the file size by
approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. The compression
reduces certain parts of sound that seem
inaudible to most people.
. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression than
the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more
digital audio tracks in the same amount of
space when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
. AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression format.
Audio files that have been encoded with
AAC are generally smaller in size and deliver
a higher quality of sound than MP3.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music file.

STEERING SCREENThe steering screen allows you to confirm how
the vehicle responds to your driving by display-
ing the results of how you operate the vehicle.
The results of your driving are displayed as a
timeline of the g-force exerted on the vehicle.
Use the displayed information to improve your
steering smoothness.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a refer-
ence to make your driving more
comfortable. The readings are not
meant to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving or poor driving
conditions (due to weather, road
condition, etc.) . Always obey all
traffic regulations and posted speed
limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth
driving. The readings are not in-
tended to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving.
How to view screen&1
CORNERING G (timeline graph of lateral g-
force):
Displays the lateral g-force exerted on the
vehicle. The horizontal readout displays
lateral g-force while the vertical readout
displays a timeline of the past 20 seconds
of driving. G-force exerted on the vehicle
when turning left is displayed on the right
side of the screen. G-force exerted on the
vehicle when turning right is displayed on
the left side of the screen. The g-force
timeline will begin to scroll down automa-
tically after a short period of time.
&2
Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the
level of g-force exerted on the vehicle while
decelerating exceeds a preset level.
&3
G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted
on the vehicle due to deceleration.
&4
SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
&5
STEERING:
Displays the angle of the steering wheel.
INFO:
. The extent to which the steering of the
vehicle is displayed on the meter may vary
depending on the vehicle speed.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.

The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.

tion system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially
when carpool lanes are separated from
other road lanes.INCORRECT DISPLAY OF VEHICLE
POSITIONThe following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if
the driving conditions return to normal.* When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a grid
pattern road system.*When the vehicle is passing through a large Y-

— If a part of the route is included in the“Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle
icon, or continue driving to see if the
position of the vehicle icon is automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
— There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCEVoice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTICE
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road
conditions do not correspond. This
may occur because of discrepancies
between the actual road and the
information on the map data, or it is
due to the vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not
correspond to the actual road con-
ditions, follow the information ob-
tained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
