Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources for extended periods.
MP3 and WMA Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks and
folder structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and WMA
track mode (system default) and MP3 and
WMA folder mode.
• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any
folder structure on the MP3 and WMA
disc. The player numbers each MP3 and
WMA track on the disc (noted by the MP3
or WMA file extension) from T001 to a
maximum of T255. The maximum number
of playable MP3 and WMA files may be
less depending on the structure of the
CD and exact model of radio present. •
MP3 and WMA folder mode represents
a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all
MP3 and WMA tracks on the disc (noted
by the MP3 or WMA file extension) and
all folders containing MP3 and WMA files,
from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253
T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through the
disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 and WMA
discs, it is important to understand how the
system reads the structures you create. While
various files may be present, (files with
extensions other than MP3 and WMA), only
files with the MP3 and WMA extension are
played; other files are ignored by the system.
This enables you to use the same MP3 and
WMA disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and plays
the structure as if it were only one level deep
(all MP3 and WMA files play, regardless of
being in a specific folder). In folder mode,
the system only plays the MP3 and WMA files
in the current folder.

Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the
graphic with your finger. To get the best
performance from the touch-sensitive
controls:
•
Do not press hard on the controls. They
are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center
of a touch-control graphic. Touching
off-center of the graphic may affect
operation of a nearby control.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based
on the touch of a finger, you may have
trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.
• Keep metal and other conductive
material away from the surface of the
touchscreen as this may cause electronic
interference (for example, inadvertently
turning on a feature other than the one
you meant to turn on). Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these controls
on your bezel:
•
Power: Switch the media or climate
features off and on.

The display is located on the center of your
instrument cluster. It allows you to view and
make minor adjustments to active modes
without taking your hands off the wheel. For
example:
•
In entertainment mode, you can view
what is now playing, change the audio
source, select presets and make some
adjustments.
• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can
view the current route or activate a route.
• In phone mode, you can accept or reject
an incoming call. Use the OK and arrow buttons on the right
side of your steering wheel to scroll through
the available modes. The selection menu expands and different
options appear.
•
Press the up and down arrows to scroll
through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to make
adjustments within the chosen mode.
• Press
OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with
Navigation, Compass appears in the display
instead of Navigation. If you press the right
arrow to go into the Compass menu, you can
see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is
traveling, not true direction (for example, if
the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of
the compass graphic displays west; north
displays to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west). Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status bar
indicating the status of the voice session
(such as Listening, Success, Failed, Paused
or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your
System
Press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command clearly.

These commands can be said at any time
during a voice session
"Cancel""Exit"
"Go back"
"List of commands" "Main menu""Next page"
"Previous page"
"What can I say?" "Help" What Can I Say?
To access the available voice commands for
the current session, do one of the following:
•
During a voice session, press the help
icon (?) in the lower left status bar of the
screen.
• Say, "What can I say?" for an on-screen
listing of the possible voice commands
associated with your current voice
session.
• Press the voice icon. After the tone, say,
"Help" for an audible list of possible voice
commands.
Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken commands.
• After pressing the voice icon, wait until
after the tone sounds and Listening
appears before saying a command. Any
command spoken before this does not
register with the system. •
Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system
while it is speaking by pressing the voice
icon.
Accessing a List of Available Commands
• If you use the touchscreen, press the
Settings icon >
