should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
Crossbars are error-proofed and

format and is playable on other play-
ers. To help avoid playback problems,
use the following guidelines when re-
cording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Onlysessions that are closed are play-
able.
For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions,
the player will renumber the tracks
so each track number is unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1
or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo for-
mat. Other formats (such as HFS,
or others) are not supported.
Blu-ray Disc Player can extend 2000 files and 255 folders.
The player recognizes a maximum of 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. Mixed disc which contains "DivX"
will be priority played on Blu-ray
Disc Player .
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 /
WMA and ACC)
The DVD / Blu-ray player (for
versions/markets, where provided) 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." AAC files
must always end with the extension
"aac" or "AAC." To prevent incor-
rect playback, do not use these ex-
tensions 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.
For Blu-ray files, only version 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 and 2.4 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

comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move thetemperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and fan speed to pro-
vide comfort as quickly as
possible.
The temperature can be dis- played in English or Metric units
by selecting the “Display Units
of Measure in” customer-
programmable feature. Refer to
the “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) — Customer-
Programmable Features” in this
Section.

cold start-ups, the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by
changing the front blower knob set-
ting.

shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield 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 right side trim panel behind the
third row seats. The rear outlets are
located in the right side trim panel
of the 3rd Row seat. Do not block or
place objects directly in front of the
inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload
causing damage to the blower mo-
tor.

Headliner Mode
Air comes from the outlets in
the headliner. Each of these
outlets can be individually adjusted to
direct the flow of air. Moving the air
vanes of the outlets to one side will
shut off the airflow.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from both the head-
liner outlets and the floor out-
lets.
NOTE: In many temperature po-
sitions, the Bi-Level mode is de-
signed to provide cooler air out of
the headliner outlets and warmer
air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode Air comes from the floor out-
lets. 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. The recirculation LED
will illuminate when this button is
selected. Push the button a second
time to turn off the Recirculation
mode LED and allow 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.
