SYSTEM UNIT
Display screen
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The screen is too dark. The cabin temperature is too low. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes moderate.
Screen brightness is set to the maximum darkness. Adjust the brightness setting of the screen. For additional information, refer to “Screen settings” in this section.
The screen is too bright. Screen brightness is set to the maximum brightness. Adjust the brightness setting of the screen. For additional
information, refer to “Screen settings” in this section.
A small black spot or a small bright spot appears on the
screen. This is a phenomenon typical to display screens.
This is not a malfunction.
A dot or stripe pattern appears on the screen. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from neon
billboards, high voltage electric power cables, ham radios
or other radio devices equipped on other vehicles may ad-
versely affect this screen. This is not a malfunction.
Image lag appears on the screen. This is a phenomenon typical to display screens. This is not a malfunction.
Image motion displayed on the screen is slow. The cabin temperature is below 32°F (0°C) . Wait until the in-cabin temperature rises to above 32°F
(0°C) .
When looking at the screen from an angle, the screen
lightens or darkens. This is a phenomenon typical to display screens.
Adjust the brightness setting of the screen. For additional
information, refer to “Screen settings” in this section.

AUDIO SYSTEM
HD Radio Technology
Sound:
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Delay in digital audio on HD Radio broadcasts. The radio acquires an analog station first and blends to a
digital signal. This is not a malfunction.
Audio skip, stutter or echo. The radio station has not properly aligned the digital and
analog audio. Verify correct operation on another station. Report any sta-
tion with poor performance.
Volume changing up/down. The radio station has not properly aligned digital and ana-
log audio level. Verify correct operation on another station and check
www.hdradio.com for stations in the area. Report any sta-
tion with poor performance.
Sound fading in and out. The transition between analog and digital is taking place
(blending) . Verify transition performance on several stations in the
area. Report any station with poor performance.
Excessive blending (Transition between analog and digital) . The receiver is located near the edge of the digital cover- age area. Refer to www.hdradio.com to verify stations in your cover-
age area.
Digital audio not better than analog audio. Audio processing on the digital audio at a station can po-
tentially decrease the digital audio sound quality. Verify correct operation on another station. Report any sta-
tion with poor performance.

Functional:
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Keep losing my local stations. The digital coverage is slightly less than the analog signal
coverage. Verify correct operation on another station. This is ex-
pected behavior.
Shadowing (urban/terrain) can cause reduced digital
coverage. Verify correct operation on another station.
Some data fields are blank. Text information is sent at the broadcaster’s discretion. Verify correct operation on another station. Report any sta-
tion issues.
Text information is truncated / appears to be more
available. The display is limited to a fixed number of characters and
more data is being sent than can be shown. This is intended behavior.
AM reception changes at night. AM stations are required by the government (FCC) to lower
their power at night. This is not a malfunction.
Compact Disc (CD) player
Symptom
Possible cause Possible solution
Music cannot be played back. The disc is inserted upside down. Insert a CD with the label side facing up.
Moisture has accumulated inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approximately 1 hour) .
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Scratched discs cannot be recovered. Replace the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are stored, discs
may become unreadable due to deterioration (for example,
keeping the discs in the passenger compartment, etc.) . Replace the disc with a deterioration-free disc. Do not use
a deteriorated disc. The label surface of a disc may crack
or chip, and the layer of the label surface may eventually
peel off.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-149

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Compressed audio files cannot be played back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed au-
dio files (MP3 data, etc.) are mixed on one disc, the com-
pressed audio files cannot be played back. Prepare a disc that contains compressed audio files only.
The files are not named using characters that are compliant
with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of characters that
are compliant with the specifications for the folder names
and file names. In addition, always use “.MP3”, “.WMA”,
“.mp3” or “.wma” file extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It is recom-
mended that unnecessary folders or any files other than
compressed audio files should not be recorded on a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
No sounds are played although the CD play time is
displayed. The system is playing the first track of a mix mode disc.
(Mix mode is a format in which data except music is re-
corded on the first track and music data is recorded on one
other than the first track in a session.) Play music data in other tracks.
Music cuts off or skips. The combination of writing software and hardware might
not match; or the writing speed, writing depth, writing
width, etc. might not match the specifications. Create a disc using different writing speed settings, etc.
The system skips the selected track and moves to the next
track. A non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of
“.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma”. Prepare MP3/WMA files.
Some of the file cannot be played due to copyright
protection. Prepare playable files.
The tracks do not play back in the desired order. The folder locations on the disc are changed by the writing
software while the files are written on the disc. Check the settings of the writing software and create a
new disc.
