 In the following circumstances, moisture can form on compact discs and inside theaudio system, preventing normal opera- tion. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned onin cold weather. In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry out.
 When the CD player is subjected to vio- lent vibrations, such as during off-roaddriving, the tracking may not work.  When storing compact discs, always store them in their separate
cases. Never place
compact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is high. Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect the sound quality. When handli
ng a compact disc,
always hold it by the outer edge and thecenter hole.  To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole
toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint thi
nner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the disc.  Do not use a ball point
pen, felt pen, pen-
cil, etc. to write on the label surface of thedisc.  Do not put additional la
bels or stickers on
compact discs. Also, do not use any com-pact disc on which a label or sticker has started to peel off or any compact disc that has stickiness or ot
her contamination left
by a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD player may stop working properly and you may not beable to eject the compact disc.
N00751900112
 You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD record- ers (CD-R/RW drives), either due to theirrecording characteristics or dirt, finger- prints, scratches, etc.
on the disc surface.
 CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordi- nary music CDs and can therefore be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your vehicle for a long time.  Depending on the combination of the writing software, the CD recorder (CD- R/RW drive), and the disc used to create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play suc-cessfully.  This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the sessi
on is not closed.
 This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the handling instruc- tions for the CD-R/RW disc.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, an
d signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation is subject to the following conditions:  The device may not cause harmful inter- ference.  This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signals follow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received over longer dis- tances.
Because of the limite
d range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM reception.When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception ca
n be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before the reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
NOTE
 Reset the time after the 12V starter battery terminals are disconnect
ed and reconnected.
 Seconds do not appear
in the clock display,
but after adjusting the
“minutes” setting, the
clock begins to opera
te from 0 seconds.

If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously.
Stereo reception requires a high quality broadcast signal. This means that types of disturbances mentioned previously becomemore marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep- tion. FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electr
onic noise suppression
device. The disturbance is even greater if thestation is weak or poorly tuned. FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the ready indicator light goes out while driving, the brakes a
nd steering will continue
to work, but without power assist, so more effort will be required
for braking and steer-
ing. Stop the vehicle on the shoulder of the road and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If you need to push your vehicle, turn theelectric motor switch to the “ON” position, and place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.

If the electric motor unit cannot be energizedbecause the 12V starter battery is weak ordead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets
that might make an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are nottouching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position. 4. Set the parking brake firmly on the othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”5. Turn the ignition switch (the electric motor switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” position. 6. Remove the battery
cover, and then make
sure your 12V starter
battery electrolyte is
at the proper level. (Refer to “Checking 12V starter battery electrolyte level” onpage 9-8.)

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be em
itted from the 12V
starter battery, carefully read this sectionbefore jump-starting the vehicle. Do not try to start the electric motor unit by pushing or towing the vehicle. This can cause an accident re
sulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehi-
cle.CAUTION Do not attempt jump st
arting the 12V starter
battery while the main
drive lithium-ion bat-
tery is being charged. Doing so could dam-age the vehicle or charging equipment.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12V
battery. If the other system is not 12V, bothsystems can be damaged.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will
help avoid sparks.
