adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, and
adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
“R-134a”. Only R-134a should be used in
your vehicle.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AACWhat is MP3?
MP3 (MPEG audio layer3) is an audio
compression format that has become the
standard format among PC users. Its
merit is that the original audio data is
compressed to approximately 1/10 and
high sound quality is maintained. This
means that it is possible to store the data
of approximately 10 music CDs on a sin-
gle CD-R/RW disc, which in turn makes
it possible to play music for a long time
without having to change the disc.
What is WMA?
An abbreviation of “Windows Media
Audio,” WMA is an audio compression
format developed by Microsoft.
WMA files for which the DRM (Digital
Rights Management) function is ON can-
not be played.
Windows Media
TM
and the Windows
®
logo are trademarks or registered trade-
marks of Microsoft Corporation in the
United States and other countries.
What is AAC?
An abbreviation of “Advanced Audio
Coding,” AAC is an audio compression
format used by MPEG2 and MPEG4.Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA/AAC files Common
High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high qual-
ity sounds.
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended. Selecting VBR may
cause display of incorrect playing time
and jumpiness of playback.
Playback sound quality varies depending
on the encoding environment. For
details, refer to the user manual of the
encoding software and the writing soft-
ware in use.
Recording MP3/WMA/AAC files on a CD
media
It is recommended not to write both CD-
DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC files on a
disc.
If both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC
files are on the same disc, tracks may
not be played in the correct order or
some tracks may not be played at all.
When storing both MP3 data and WMA
data on the same disc, sort and place
them in different folders. Play time

NOTICE
Never assign the “.mp3”, “.wma”, or
“.m4a” file name extension to a file if
it is not in the MP3/WMA/AAC format
file. Failure to observe this may result
in damage to the speaker due to
noise production.
5-19OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
74LH0-74E
Do not write files other than MP3/WMA/
AAC files and unnecessary folders on a
disc.
MP3/WMA/AAC files should be named
to meet the standards and the file sys-
tem specifications as shown below.
The file extension “.mp3”, “.wma” or
“.m4a” should be assigned to files based
on their format independently.
You may encounter a trouble in playing
MP3/WMA/AAC files or displaying infor-
mation of MP3/WMA/AAC files depend-
ing on the writing software or CD
recorder in use.
This unit does not have a play list func-
tion.
It is recommended to write discs in Disc-
