New Disc
Some new discs may have burrs
found in the center hole or at the
edges. Remove these burrs with a
ballpoint pen, etc. before using
the disc.
If burrs are not removed, the disc
may not be read accurately and
cause improper operation.
Rental Discs
Do not use any disc that has
cellophane tape or any rental disc
that has glue from the label exposed
or if some of the removed label still
attached to it. Using the disc like
this may cause the disc to not eject
properly and damage the disc.
Discs with Special Shapes
Heart-shaped or octagon-shaped
discs cannot be played. Do not use
them as they may cause damage.Disc Accessories
Do not use CD labels or
commercially available accessories
(such as stabilizers, protective
seals, etc.) that are said to improve
sound quality or protect the discs.
They may change the thickness of
the disc and external specifications
and lead to damage.
Do not use commercially available
accessories (such as CD rings,
protectors) that are said to improve
sound quality or are effective
against vibrations. They may come
off inside the device, causing the
disc to become unplayable or
unretrievable and lead to
malfunction.
MP3/WMA Files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a
standard format for sound
compression technology.
By using MP3, a file can be
compressed to one-tenth the size of
the original.WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a
Microsoft sound compression
format. It can compress sounds to a
smaller size than the MP3.
This player has limitations on MP3/
WMA file standards and recorded
media and formats that can
be used.

Driving and Operating 161
usually requires 30 seconds to
2 minutes depending on ambient
conditions. This will help reduce
white start-up smoke.
Preheating :Diesel engines are
compression ignited, which makes
them difficult to start when they are
cold because the compression
alone cannot create a temperature
high enough for fuel to ignite.
Preheating means warming the
compressed air inside the
combustion chambers to facilitate
engine starting. Be sure to start the
engine after the wait-to-start light
has gone out.
Start : Do not press the accelerator
pedal at the engine start. The
accelerator opening degree at the
engine start is electronically
controlled.
Warm-up : Do not race the engine
to speed warm-up. Cold Weather Starting
If you plan ahead for cold weather,
starting and driving your vehicle
should be no problem. The following
tips will help ensure good starting in
cold weather.
Oil gets thicker as it gets colder,
which slows down the engine
cranking speed. The diesel engine
functions by the heat of
compression (and glow plugs when
cold), rather than through the use of
spark plugs as in a gasoline engine.
So, your engine must crank faster
than a gasoline engine before it will
start.
To be sure the engine can turn fast
enough to start, use SAE 10W-40
viscosity engine oil when prevailing
temperatures drop below 0 °C
(32 °F). See the oil quality and oil
viscosity recommendations. Using
the proper viscosity oil will make
starting easier down to -23 °C
(-10 °F). When prevailing
temperatures drop below -23 °C
(-10 °F), the engine block heater
may be needed for starting. See
Engine Heater
0163. Maintenance Items to Aid Cold
Weather Starting
Since the basic principle of diesel
engine ignition is based on
compression, the diesel engine is
somewhat harder to start than a
gasoline engine when the
temperature is below freezing.
To help prevent hard starting
problems, special attention should
be given to following normal
maintenance items:
1. Neglecting to have the fuel filter and water separator
serviced can be one of the
major contributors to hard
starting. If water is permitted to
accumulate in the primary filter,
it will freeze and make starting
the engine impossible.
2. Make sure the fuel tank vent is open.
3. Always refuel at the end of a day's operation. Moisture will
condense in an empty tank;
therefore, the tank should be
