COMPRESSED AUDIO FILES (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms
.MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving
Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed 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 (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps)
with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. The compression reduces cer-
tain parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion 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. .
Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

dation and wireless connection disrup-
tion.
. While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth
®wireless connec-
tion, the battery of the device may discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth
®
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Con-
trol Profile (AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®
and the wireless LAN functions at the
same time may slow down or discon-
nect the communication and cause

REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)
When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the upper touch screen
display (upper display) shows the view to
the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
REARVIEW MONITOR OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
The distance between the vehicle and the
objects viewed on the monitor may be
different from the actual distances.
“Difference between predictive and
actual distances” (page 7-19)
WARNING!
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RearView Monitor
could result in serious injury or death.
. The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
backing. Always turn and look out the
windows, and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always back up slowly. .
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The system cannot completely eliminate
blind spots and may not detect every
object. It does not warn of moving
objects.
. Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
. Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite, similar to than
when viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the RearView
camera. The RearView camera is installed
above the license plate. .
When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION!
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

(Reverse) position, the upper screen
automatically changes to the RearView
Monitor mode.
. The following conditions may occur, but
it does not indicate a malfunction.
—
When the view is switched, the images
on the screen may be displayed with
some delay.
—When the temperature is extremely highor low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.
—When strong light directly comes on tothe camera, objects may not be dis- played clearly.
—Vertical lines may be seen in objects on
the screen due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
—The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
—The colors of objects on the RearViewMonitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
—Objects on the monitor may not be clearin a dark environment.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the camera
if this happens. .
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with
diluted mild cleaning agent and then

the rear of the vehicle.
AROUND VIEW MONITOR OPERA-
TION PRECAUTIONS
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects. When in the front or
the rear view display, an object below the
bumper or on the ground may not be
viewed
*1. When in the bird-eye view, a
tall object near the seam of the camera
viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor
*2.
WARNING!
. The Around View Monitor is a convenient
feature but it is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
Always look out the windows and check
mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move.
The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,

CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone
to inform the driver of obstacles near the
bumper.
WARNING!
. The sonar is a convenience feature. It is
not a substitute for proper parking.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
. Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar as contained in this section.
. The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-
wide, rear and rear-wide views indicate different distances to the object.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources
such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s
compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic
drill may affect the function of the
system; this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may it not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
. The system may not detect the following
objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or
chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION!
.
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
. Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,
ice and dirt. Do not scratch the surface of
the sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.
The system sounds the tone for front
objects when the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position and both front and rear
objects when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the
display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever
position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above

7. Monitor system
7-14
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the front view or front-wide view.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the vehicle
speed is below approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h), the MOD system detects
moving objects in the rear view or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will
not operate if the trunk lid is open.
INFO:
.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
indicator is not displayed on the screen
when in this view.
.While the sonar/BCI warning tone is beep-
ing, the MOD system does not chime.
WARNING!
. The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not
designed to prevent contact with the
objects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rearview mirror and turn and
check the surrounding area to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
. The MOD system does not have the
function to detect the surrounding sta-
tionary objects.
. Do not use the MOD system when towing
a trailer. The system may not function
properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
— When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
— When there is a blinking source of
light.
— When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pre-
sent.
— When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens. —
When the position of the moving
objects in the display is not changed.
. The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered and the MOD system
may not detect objects properly.
