ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity. The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The
load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
Crossbars are error-proofed and
cannot be deployed or stowed in
the incorrect positions.
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the side rails
when they are not in use. DEPLOYING THE
CROSSBARS
To deploy the crossbars, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends
of the crossbar and lift the crossbar
from its stowed position in the side
rail. Repeat with crossbar on the op-
posite side.
CAUTION!
Use care when removing and han-
dling the crossbars to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.

If you are still having trouble writing a
disc that is playable in the VES™
DVD player, check with the disc re-
cording software publisher for more
information about burning playable
discs.
The recommended method for label-
ing recordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW,
and DVD-R) is with a permanent
marker. Do not use adhesive labels as
they may separate from the disc, be-
come stuck, and cause permanent
damage to the DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and
WMA)
The DVD player is capable of playing
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and
WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R
or CD-RW).
The DVD player always uses thefile extension to determine the au-
dio format, so MP3 files must al-
ways end with the extension
".mp3" or ".MP3" and WMA files
must always end with the extension
".wma" or ".WMA". To prevent in- correct playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of
files.
For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track
title, album, etc.) are supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those downloaded from many
online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and
ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the
file and begin playing the next
available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recommended fixed bit rate for
MP3 files is between 96 and
192Kbps and the recommended
fixed bit rate for WMA files is be-
tween 64 and 192Kbps. Variable
bit rates are also supported. For
both formats, the recommended
sample rate is either 44.1kHz or
48kHz. To change the current file, use the
remote control’s or DVD player’s ▲
button to advance to the next file,
or the ▼button to return to the
start of the current or previous file.
To change the current directory, use the remote control’s PROG Up and
Down buttons.
Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the
disc, a "Disc Error" message is dis-
played on the VES™ and Radio dis-
plays and the disc is automatically
ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incom-
patible disc format are all potential
causes for a "Disc Error" message.
If a disc has a damaged track which
results in audible or visible errors that
persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue play-
ing the disc by skipping forward 1.0
to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end of
the disc is reached, the DVD player
will return to the beginning of the disc
and attempt to play the start of the
first track.

5. Right Front Temperature Control
Provides right front seat occupant
with independent temperature con-
trol. Turn left for cooler or right for
warmer temperature settings.
6. Mix ModeAir is directed through the floor,
defrost and side window demist
outlets. This setting works best
in cold or snowy conditions that re-
quire extra heat at the windshield.
This setting is good for maintaining
comfort, while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
7. Front Defrost Mode Air is directed through the
windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best wind-
shield and side window defrosting. NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor
may operate in Mix and Defrost, or
a blend of these modes even if the
A/C button is not pressed. This de-
humidifies the air to help dry the
windshield. To improve fuel
economy, use these modes only
when necessary.
8. Electronic Rear Window Defrost
Press this button to turn on the
rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (for
versions/markets, where provided).
An indicator in the button will illumi-
nate when the rear window defroster
is on. The rear window defroster au-
tomatically turns off after approxi-
mately 10 minutes. For an additional
five minutes of operation, press the
button a second time.
NOTE:
You can turn off the heated mir- ror feature at anytime by press-
ing the rear window defroster
switch a second time. To prevent excessive battery
drain, use the rear window de-
froster only when the engine is
operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating ele-
ments:
Use care when washing the inside
of the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance
from the window.

9. Recirculation Control Button
Press this button to choose
between outside air intake or
recirculation of the air inside
the vehicle. A lamp will illu-
minate when you are in Recirculation
mode. Only use the Recirculation mode
to temporarily block out any outside
odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the
interior rapidly upon initial start-up in
very hot or humid weather.
NOTE:
If the Recirculation button is
pressed when the system is in
Defrost mode the Recirculation
LED indicator will flash 3 times
to indicate Recirculation mode
is not allowed.
In Floor and Mix mode the sys- tem will turn off Recirculation
mode after five minutes of op-
eration. You can select Recircu-
lation mode again if desired.
Continuous use of the Recircu- lation mode may make the in-
side air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended. In cold or damp weather, the use
of the Recirculation mode will
cause windows to fog on the in-
side because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. For
maximum defogging, select the
outside air position.
In order to prevent fogging, when the Recirculation button is
pressed and the mode control is
set to Panel, the A/C will engage
automatically.
The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the
mode control selection.
10. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button Press and release to change
the current setting. The in-
dicator illuminates when
ON.
NOTE:
If your air conditioning perfor-
mance seems lower than expected,
check the front of the A/C con-
denser (located in front of the ra-
diator), for an accumulation of dirt
or insects. Clean with a gentle wa-
ter spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce
airflow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
11. Floor Mode Button
Air is directed through the floor
outlets with a small amount
through the defrost and side
window demist outlets.
12. Bi-Level Mode Button Air is directed through the panel
and floor outlets.
NOTE:
There is a difference in tempera-
ture (in any conditions other than
full cold or full hot), between the
upper and lower outlets for added
comfort. The warmer air goes to
the floor outlets. This feature gives
improved comfort during sunny
but cool conditions.
