CDs with copy-protect features may not  
play correctly.
■CD player protection feature 
To protect the internal components,  playback is automatically stopped when  
a problem is detected while the CD 
player is being used.
■If a CD is left inside the CD player  or in the ejected position for  
extended periods 
The CD may be damaged and may not  play properly.
■Lens cleaners 
Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so may  
damage the CD player.
■MP3, WMA and AAC files 
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a stand- ard 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 co mpression format. 
Windows Media is either a registered  
trademark or trademark of Microsoft 
Corporation in the United States and/or  other countries. This product is pro- 
tected by certain intellectual property 
rights of Microsoft. Use or distribution of  such technology outside of this product  
is prohibited without a license from 
Microsoft. 
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.

●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

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