Operating Tips for Audio System
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
●To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the  audio system
on for a long period of time when the engine is not running.
● If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise  to  occur  from  the  audio  system,  however,  this  does  not  in dicate  that
the system has been damaged.
WARNING
■ Always adjust the audio wh ile the vehicle is stopped
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehi cle. Adjusting
the  audio  while  driving  the  vehicle  is  dangerous  as  it  could  di stract  your
attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a seri ous accident.
Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering  wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking down at them so that you ca n keep your
maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle.
NOTICE
For  the  purposes  of  safe  driving,  adjust  the  audio  volume  to  a  level  that
allows  you  to  hear  sounds  outside  of  the  vehicle  including  car  horns  and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

■AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and
bounce off the ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach lon ger distances than FM signals.
Because  of  this,  2  stations  may   sometimes  be  picked  up  on  the
same frequency at the same time.
Ionosphere
Station 1
Station 2
■FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 25 - 30 miles (40 - 50 km)
from  the  source.  Because  of  extra  coding  needed  to  break  the
sound into 2 channels, stereo FM has even less range than monau -
ral (non-stereo) FM.

●Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a
transmitter tower. The broad-
cast signals are extremely
strong,  so  the  result  is  noise
and  sound  breakup  at  the
radio receiver.
● Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area o f 2 strong stations broadcast-
ing at similar frequencies, the original station may be tempora rily
lost  and  the  second  station  picked  up. At  this  time  there  will  be
some noise from this disturbance.
Station 1
88.1 MHz
Station 2
88.3 MHz
MP3  stands  for  MPEG  Audio  Layer  3,  which  is  standardized  voice
compression establ ished by the ISO
*1 working group (MPEG). 
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be compressed to approximat ely
a tenth of the source data size. 
This unit plays files with the  extension (.mp3) as MP3 files.
*1: International Organization for Standardization
• When  naming  an  MP3  file,  be  sure  to  add  an  MP3  file  extension
(.mp3) after the file name.
• The number of characters which  can be displayed is restricted.
