WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.
.Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades and
might cause the wiper motor to
fail. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear
window, always use the wind-
shield washer.

&Tips for operating the audio/
visual system
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
.Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
.Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc
slot.
NOTE
The use of a cell phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual 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 terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle isfrom a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
!FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’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.!AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio 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.
!SiriusXM (if equipped)
.Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
.Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.

Low quality discs
Labeled discs
CAUTION
.Do not use special shaped, trans-
parent/translucent, low quality or
labeled discs such as those
shown in the illustrations. The
use of such discs may damage
the player, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
.This system is not designed for
use of Dual Discs. Do not use
Dual Discs because they may
cause damage to the player.
.Do not use discs with a protec-
tion ring. The use of such discs
may damage the player, or it may
be impossible to eject the disc.
.Do not use printable discs. The
use of such discs may damage
the player, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
1) Correct
2) Wrong
.Handle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, particularly on the shiny
side.
.Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes or
other disc damage could cause the player
to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To
see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the
light.)
.Remove discs from the players when
not in use. Store them in their plastic
cases away from moisture, heat and direct
sunlight.

Audio/Audio set
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
center 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/RW discs
.CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the“finalizing process”(a
process 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 thelens 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
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the ap-
plications.)
.CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high tem-
peratures 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.

(Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compatible)
.MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC (Ad-
vanced Audio Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
.This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC
files on CD-R, CD-RW discs, USB mem-
ory, and Bluetooth device.
.This system can play disc recordings
compatible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
.When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file,
add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/
.wma/.m4a).
.This system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noiseand playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
.This system can play only the first
session when using multi-session compa-
tible CDs.
.MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3
formats. This system cannot display disc
title, track title and artist name in other
formats.
.WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as
an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry informa-
tion such as track title and artist name.
.The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
.This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
.The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit
rate of at least 128 kbps are recom-
mended.
.The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs recorded
using packet write data transfer (UDF
format). Discs should be recorded using
“pre-mastering”software rather than pack-
etwrite software.
