The player recognizes a maximumof 512 files and 99 folders per
CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD for- mats will only play the Video_TS
portion of the disc.
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 the
file 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.

operate at a fixed speed until addi-
tional speeds are selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the vol-
ume of air circulated in the vehicle
and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the following positions.
Panel ModeAir is directed through the out-
lets in the instrument panel.
These outlets can be adjusted for di-
rection, and turned on or off to control
airflow.
NOTE: For maximum airflow to
the rear, the center instrument
panel outlets can be directed to-
ward the rear seat passengers.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets, floor outlets and
defrost outlets. A slight amount of air
is also directed through the side win-
dow demister outlets. NOTE: In many temperature po-
sitions, the BI-LEVEL mode is de-
signed to provide cooler air out of
the panel outlets and warmer air
from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor out-
lets. A slight amount of air is
directed through the defrost and side
window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, de-
frost and side window demist
outlets. This mode works best in cold
or snowy conditions. It allows you to
stay comfortable, while keeping the
windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist out-
lets. Use DEFROST mode with maxi-
mum blower and temperature settings
for best windshield and side window
defrosting. NOTE: While operating in the
other modes, the system will not
automatically sense the presence
of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. DEFROST mode must be
manually selected to clear the
windshield and side glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When in A/C mode and the
ATC is set to a cool temperature, de-
humidified air flows through the air
outlets. If Economy mode is desired,
press the A/C button to turn off the
A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix, Floor or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system
shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.

If fog or mist appears on thewindshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. Recir-
culation mode should only be used
temporarily. A LED will illuminate on
the Recirculation control button when
Recirculation mode is selected. Push
the button a second time to turn off
the Recirculation mode LED and al-
low outside air into the vehicle.
NOTE: In cold weather, use of the
Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Re-
circulation mode is not allowed in
Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if
this mode is selected. Rear Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) — If Equipped
The rear ATC system has floor air
outlets at the rear of the right side
sliding door, and overhead outlets at
each outboard rear seating position.
The system provides heated air
through the floor outlets or cool, de-
humidified air through the headliner
outlets.
The rear system temperature control
is on the front ATC panel located on
the instrument panel.
Pressing the Rear Temperature Lock
button on the front ATC panel, illumi-
nates a lock symbol in the rear dis-
play. The rear temperature and air

SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement
instructions.222
