Care of CDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality
can be reduced due to CD-R or
CD-RW quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been
handled. Handle them carefully.
Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s) in their
original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the
surface of a CD is damaged, such
as cracked, broken, or scratched,
the CD does not play properly or not
at all. Do not touch the bottom side
of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs
by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take
a soft, lint-free cloth or dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not add any label to a CD; it
could get caught in the CD player.
If a CD is recorded on a personal
computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the
recorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners for
CDs is not advised.
Caution
If a label is added to a CD, more
than one CD is inserted into the
slot at a time, or an attempt is
made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
could be damaged. While using
the CD player, use only CDs in
good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep
the CD player and the loading slot
free of foreign materials, liquids,
and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD
Messages” later in this section.
Playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
The radio has the capability of
playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or

Cooler air is directed to the upper
outlets and warmer air to the floor
outlets.
6: Air is directed to the floor
outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window, and
second row floor outlets. In this
mode, the system automatically
selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected while in
floor mode.
-: This clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the
windshield, floor outlets, and side
window vents. When this mode is
selected, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air
conditioning unless the outside
temperature is less than 4 °C (40 °
F). Recirculation cannot be selected
while in the defog mode. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.

times and turns off when outside
conditions affect air conditioning
operation. This is normal. For quicker cool down on hot days:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select
Hmode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has escaped.

of time could cause the air inside
the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after
the inside of the vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.

quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce the
outside air and odors that may enter
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning also comes on when

about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Use the
driver side or passenger side
temperature control to adjust
the temperature setting as
necessary. The system will
remain at the selected setting.

coolest temperatures does not
cause the vehicle to heat or
cool more quickly. To avoid blowing cold air in
cold weather, the system
delays turning on the fan until
warm air is available. Turn the
fan knob to override this delay
and select the fan speed.
Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature controls are used to
adjust the temperature of the air

turns off to show that the A/C mode
is not available. If the A/C is on and
the outside temperature drops
below a temperature which is too cool for air conditioning to be
effective, the A/C indicator turns off
to show that the A/C mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows
briefly to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it takes
for the interior of the vehicle to
cool down.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
