■USB memory
●Compatible devices
USB memory that can be used for MP3,
WMA and AAC playback
●Compatible device formats
The following device formats can be
used:
• USB communication formats: USB2.0 FS (12mbps)
• File formats: FAT16/32 (Windows)
• Correspondence class: Mass storage class
MP3, WMA and AAC files written in any
format other than those listed above
may not play correctly, and their file
names and folder names may not be
displayed correctly.
Items related to standards and limita-
tions are as follows:
• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels
(including the root) • Maximum number of folders in a
device: 3000

●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
• Compatible standards
MP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3)
• Compatible sampling frequencies
MPEG1 LAYER3: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)
MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 16, 22.05, 24 (kHz)

●File names
The only files that can be recognized as
MP3/WMA/AAC and played are those
with the extension .mp3, .wma or .m4a.
●ID3, WMA and AAC tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files,
making it possible to record the track
title, artist name, etc.
The system is compatib le with ID3 Ver.
1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 ID3 tags.
(The number of characters is based on
ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
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

Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after a while.
■Fogging up of the windows
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: The
windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: If you
turn “A/C” switch is off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by
the vehicle is still dr awn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: During
cooling operation, setting the recircu-
lated air mode will also cool the vehi- cle interior effectively.
■When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F) (vehicles with
the “A/C” switch)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
●When parking, the system automati-cally switches to outside air mode to
encourage better air circulation
throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting
the vehicle.

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become
very hot and burn you.

■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys-
tem on longer than necessary when the engine is off.

ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
■Operation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
system is controlled as follows to pri- oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor opera-
tion controlled to restrict heating/cool- ing capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera- tions:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.355)
●Even when the drive mode is set to
Eco drive mode, the air conditioning eco mode can be turned off by press-
ing the “FAST/ECO” switch. ( P.430)
■When the outside temperature falls
