ger
*Example: cell phones, laptops, por-
table music players, or electronic
games
If either of the following situations
occurs when using an electronic
device in the vehicle, at first try to
relocate that device to avoid it
creating any interference.
.The SRS airbag system warning
light illuminates.
.The front passenger’s frontal air-
bag ON and OFF indicators oper-
ate erratically.
If the interference remains, stop
using the device in the vehicle.
NOTEThis device complies with Part 18 of the
FCC Rules. This device may cause
interference. If this device causes inter-
ference, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer. Also, for maintenance of the
system, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer. This product may cause inter-
ference to radio equipment and should
not be installed near maritime safetycommunications equipment or other
critical navigation or communication
equipment operating between 0.45-30
MHz.
!Conditions in which front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag is not
activated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will not be activated when any of the
following conditions are met regarding
the front passenger’s seat:
.The seat is empty.
.The seat is equipped with an appro-
priate child restraint system and an infant
is restrained in it. (See WARNING that
follows.)
.The front passenger’s occupant detec-
tion system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD OR
REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN
THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT
EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S
SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DEACTI-
VATED. Be sure to install it in the
REAR seat in a correct manner. Also,
it is strongly recommended that any
forward facing child seat or booster
seat be installed in the REAR seat,and that even children who have
outgrown a child restraint system be
also seated in the REAR seat. This is
because children sitting in the front
passenger’s seat may be killed or
severely injured should the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag de-
ploy. REAR seats are the safest
place for children.
CAUTION
When the front passenger’s seat is
occupied by an infant in an appro-
priate child restraint system, ob-
serve the following precautions.
Failure to do so may interfere with
the proper operation of the occupant
detection system, activating the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
even though that seat is occupied by
the infant in the child restraint
system.
.Do not place any article (includ-
ing electronic devices) on the
seat other than the infant in the
child restraint system.

(Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compatible)
.MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC (Ad-
vanced Audio Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
.This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC
files on CD-R, CD-RW discs, USB mem-
ory, and Bluetooth device.
.This system can play disc recordings
compatible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
.When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file,
add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/
.wma/.m4a).
.This system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noiseand playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
.This system can play only the first
session when using multi-session compa-
tible CDs.
.MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3
formats. This system cannot display disc
title, track title and artist name in other
formats.
.WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry information
such as track title and artist name.
.The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
.This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
.The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
.The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs recorded
using packet write data transfer (UDF
format). Discs should be recorded using
“pre-mastering”software rather than pack-
etwrite software.

the audio device.
.MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the audio
device.
.The player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
.When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time
will not be correctly displayed if the fast
forward or reverse operations are used.
.It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
.MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels of
folders.
.The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:.The order changes depending on the
personal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.
!Terms
!Packet write
.This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is written
to floppy or hard discs.!ID3 tag
.This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year of
production, comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag editing func-
tions. Although the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the information can
be viewed when the track is played back.
!WMA tag
.WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as track
title and artist name.
!ISO 9660 format
.This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 levels
of regulations.
.Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character file
extension. File names must be composed
of one-byte capital letters and numbers.
The“_”symbol may also be included.)
