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
co
nventional CD player) cannot be
played.
I
t 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
e
nvironment. Record with the correct for -
mat. (For details, contact the appropriate
a
pplication manufacturers of the applica -
tions.)
CD-R/CD-R
W discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera -
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
ma
y be unable to play some damaged
discs.
I
f you insert a CD-RW disc into the player,
playback will begin more slowly than with
a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
Reco
rdings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.

INFORMATION
●The voice command system can be
operated while guidance is being spo-
ken. (It is not necessary to wait for the
confirmation beep before speaking a
command.)
● Voice commands may not be recognized
if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice
commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
● In the following conditions, the system
may not recognize the command prop-
erly and using voice commands may not
be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for the
system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.

seven eight”
Calling to the following phone numbers
• 3 digit numbers (911, 411, 611)
• 7 digit numbers (Local phone numbers)
• 10 digit numbers (Area code + Local
p
hone number)
• 11 digit phone numbers (1 + Area code +

out stopping.
3Say “Call” or press the switch on
the steering wheel.
VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLE:
CALL NAME
INFORMATION
● In the same manner as it is displayed on
the screen, “Call
say the name, or the name and type of
phone, of a contact.
For example: “Call a contact”, “John
Smith” or “Call a contact” , “Mary
Davis”, “Mobile”
● There are 4 types of phones: Home,
Mobile, Work and Other.
● Short or abbreviated names in the con-
tacts list may not be recognized. Change
names in the contacts list to full names.
● Sometimes a voice recognition result
confirmation screen will be displayed.
After confirming the result, say “Yes” or
“No” .
● When the system recognizes multiple
names from the contacts list, a name
candidate list will be displayed on the
screen. If the desired name is not dis-
played on the top of the screen, say or
select the number of the name from the
candidate list (number 1 and number 2,
etc.) to select a name from the candi-
date list.
● When a contact has multiple phone
numbers registered in the contacts list, a
candidate list will be displayed. If the
desired phone number is not displayed
on the top of the screen, say or select
the number of the desired phone num-
ber from the candidate list (number 1
and number 2, etc.) to select a phone
number from the candidate list.
VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLE:

2. CASUAL SPEECH RECOGNIZATION
Due to natural language speech recog-
nition technology, this system enables
recognition of a command when spo-
ken naturally. However, the system
cannot recognize every variation of
each command. In some situations, it
is possible to omit the command for the
procedure and directly state the de-
sired operation. Not all voice com-
mands are displayed in the function
menu.
INFORMATION
●If the command cannot be recognized
completely, the command input screen
will be displayed. (Search results will be
shown based on the part of the com-
mand that was recognized.)
