CAUTION
●Do not operate the player’s controls or connect to the Bluetooth® audio system while driv-
ing.
●Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth
® antennas. People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the
Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices.
●Before using Bluetooth
® devices, users of any electrical medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for
information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could
have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
●Do not leave your portable player in the vehicle. In particular, high temperatures inside
the vehicle may damage the portable player.
INFORMATION
●Depending on the Bluetooth® device that is connected to the system, the music may start
playing when selecting while it is paused. Conversely, the music may pause when
selecting while it is playing.
●In the following conditions, the system may not function:
• The Bluetooth
® device is turned off.
• The Bluetooth
® device is not connected.
• The Bluetooth
® device has a low battery.
●It may take time to connect the phone when Bluetooth
® audio is being played.
●For operating the portable player, see the instruction manual that comes with it.
●If the Bluetooth
® device is disconnected due to poor reception from the Bluetooth® net-
work when the engine switch is in the following, the system will automatically reconnect
to the portable player.
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
●If the Bluetooth® device is disconnected on purpose, such as it was turned off, this does
not happen. Reconnect the portable player manually.
●Bluetooth
® device information is registered when the Bluetooth® device is connected to
the Bluetooth® audio system. When selling or disposing of the vehicle, remove the
Bluetooth® audio information from the system. (P. 5 8 )

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
1. OPERATING INFORMATION
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the ve-
hicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
NOTICE
●To avoid damage to the audio system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
INFORMATION
●The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise from
the speakers of the audio system which
you are listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
the radio — it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can inter-
fere with AM signals. And of course, ra-
dio signals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in circles).
Dry it with another soft, lint-free cloth. Do
not use a conventional record cleaner or
anti-static device.
CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applica-
tions.)
CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
If you insert a CD-RW disc into the player,
playback will begin more slowly than with
a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.“Made for iPod” and “Made for iPhone”
mean that an electronic accessory has
been designed to connect specifically to
iPod or iPhone respectively, and has been
