●MP3, WMA and AAC files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a stan-
dard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approxi-
mately 1/10 of their original size by
using MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a
Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a
size smaller than that of the MP3 format.
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Cod-
ing and refers to an audio compression
technology standard used with MPEG2
and MPEG4.
There is a limit to the MP3, WMA and
AAC file standards and to the media/for-
mats recorded by them that can be
used.
●MP3 file compatibility

WMA tags can be added to WMA files,
making it possible to record the track
title and artist name in the same way as
with ID3 tags.
AAC tags can be added to AAC files,
making it possible to record the track
title and artist name in the same way as
with ID3 tags.
●MP3, WMA and AAC playback • When a device containing MP3, WMA
or AAC files is connected, all files in
the USB memory device are checked.
Once the file check is finished, the first
MP3, WMA or AAC file is played. To make the file check finish more
quickly, we recommend that you do
not include any files other than MP3, WMA or AAC files or create any
unnecessary folders.
• When the USB device is connected and the audio source is changed to
USB memory mode, the USB device
will start playing the first file in the first folder. If the same device is removed
and reinserted (and the contents have
not been changed), the USB memory will resume play from the same point
in which it was last used.
●Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3, .wma and
.m4a. are used for files other than MP3,
WMA and AAC files, they will be skipped
(not played).
●Playback • To play MP3 files with steady sound
quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate
of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• There is a wide variety of freeware
and other encoding software for MP3, WMA and AAC files on the market,
and depending on the status of the
encoding and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of
playback may result. In some cases,
playback may not be possible at all. • Microsoft, Windows, and Windows

4607-1. Maintenance and care
7-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use
car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Wipe away any water.
Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors.
• Turn off the power back door system. (if equipped)
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm
your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automati c car washes, the
rear spoiler may interfere with
machine operation. This may prevent
the vehicle from being cleaned prop- erly or result in damage to the rear
spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the
windows, or spray these areas continu- ously.
■When using a car wash (vehicles
with a smart entry & start system)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol- lowing correction procedures to wash
the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle
while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. ( P.137)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●Remove any dirt immediately by using
a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage,
make sure to observe the following precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive
detergent • Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked
with wet brake pads or disc rotors, caus-
ing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive slowly
and apply the brakes several times to
dry the parts.
Cleaning and protecting
the vehicle exterior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.
