System Information Shared Modes This allows the VES™ to output radio sources to the headphones and the radio to output VES™ sources to the vehicle speakers. When the radio and VES™ channel 1 or 2 are in the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be visible on the radio’s display for that channel, and the shared icon will be visible on the VES™ screen. When in shared mode, the same audio source is heard in the shared headphone channel 1 or channel 2. If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to control the radio functions. In this case, VES™ can share the radio mode, but not change stations until the radio mode is changed to a mode that is different from the VES™ selected radio mode. When shared, the radio has priority over the VES™ or all radio modes (FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the ability to switch tuner (AM/FM), SEEK, SCAN, TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as long as it is not in shared mode. When in shared disc mode both the radio and the VES™ have control of the video functions. The VES™ has the ability to control the following video modes: 1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track Up/Down. 2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track Up/Down). The VES™ can even control radio modes or video modes while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can access the radio modes or disc modes by navigating to those modes on the VES™ and activating a radio mode or disc mode. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 409 4. Channel 2 Mode 5.

These settings control the appearance of the video on the screen. The factory default settings are already set for optimum viewing, so there is no need to change these settings under normal circumstances. To change the settings, press the remote control’s navi- gation buttons (䉱, 䉲) to select an item, then press the remote control’s navigation buttons (䉴, 䉳) to change the value for the currently selected item. To reset all values back to the original settings, select the Default Settings menu option and press the remote control’s ENTER/OK button. Disc Features control the remote DVD player’s (if equipped) settings of DVD being watched in the remote player. Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed To listen to only audio portion of the channel with the screen closed: • Set the audio to the desired source and channel. • Close the video screen. • To change the current audio mode, press the remote control’s MODE/SOURCE button. This will automati- cally select the next available audio mode without using the Mode/Source Select menu. • When the screen is reopened, the video screen will automatically turn back on and show the appropriate display menu or media. If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard, verify that the headphones are turned on (the ON indicator is illuminated) and the headphone selector switch is on the UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 413 desired channel. If the headphones are turned on, press the remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If audio is still not heard, check that fully charged batteries are installed in the headphones. Disc Formats The VES™ DVD player is capable of playing the follow- ing types of discs (12 mm or 8 mm diameter): • DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see • DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only) • Audio Compact Discs (CDs) • CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio • Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression) notes about DVD Region Codes) format files 414 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL DVD Region Codes The VES™ DVD player and many DVD discs are coded by geographic region. These region codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the region code for the DVD disc does not match the region code for the player, the disc will not play and will be ejected. DVD Audio Support When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the VES™ DVD player, the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default (most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the Video title is ignored). All multi-channel program material is automatically mixed down to two channels, which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If you increase the volume level to account for this change in level, remember to lower the volume before changing the disc or to another mode. Recorded Discs The VES™ DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or re- corded) are not supported. If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may be cases where the VES™ DVD player may not be able to play some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a compatible format and is playable on other players. To help avoid playback problems, use the following guide- lines when recording discs. • Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are closed are playable. • For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD- Audio sessions, the player will renumber the tracks so each track number is unique. • For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo format. Other formats (such as UDF, HFS, or others) are not supported. • The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 • Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc. the Video_TS portion of the disc. If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is playable in the VES™ DVD player, check with the disc recording software publisher for more information about burning playable discs. The recommended method for labeling recordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 415 Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the DVD player. Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and WMA) The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or CD-RW). • The DVD player always uses the file extension to determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always end with the extension ⬙.mp3⬙ or ⬙.MP3⬙ and WMA files must always end with the extension ⬙.wma⬙ or ⬙.WMA⬙. To prevent incorrect playback, do not use these extensions for any other types of files. • For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track title, album, etc.) are supported. 416 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL • Any file that is copy protected (such as those down- loaded from many online music stores) will not play. The DVD player will automatically skip the file and begin playing the next available file. • Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD player will automatically skip the file and begin play- ing the next available file. • If you are creating your own files, the recommended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192Kbps and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is between 64 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates are also the recommended supported. For both formats, sample rate is either 44.1kHz or 48kHz. • To change the current file, use the remote control’s or DVD player’s 䉱 button to advance to the next file, or the 䉲 button to return to the start of the current or previous file. • To change the current directory, use the remote con- trol’s PROG UP and Down buttons or Rewind/skip back and fast fwd/skip forward. Disc Errors If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a ⬙Disc Error⬙ message is displayed on the VES™ and Radio displays and the disc is automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incompatible disc format are all potential causes for a ⬙Disc Error⬙ message. If a disc has a damaged track which results in audible or visible errors that persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD player will attempt to continue playing the disc by skipping forward 1.0 to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end of the disc is reached, the DVD player will return to the beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of the first track. The DVD player may shut down during extremely hot conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tempera- ture is above 120°F. When this occurs, the DVD player will display ⬙VES High Temp⬙ and will shut off the VES™ displays until a safe temperature is reached. This shut- down is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD player. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 417 Display Other Language Setup DVD Player Language Menu 418 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL All of the Language settings have a special ⬙Other⬙ setting to accommodate languages other than Japanese or Eng- lish. These languages are selected using a special four- digit code. To enter a new language code, activate the DVD Setup Menu.

Most DVD- Video discs have a rating (from 1 to 8) assigned to them where lower numbers are designated for all audiences and higher numbers are designated for more adult audiences. When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its rating is compared to the setting in the DVD player. If the rating of the disc is higher than the setting in the player, a Password screen is displayed. In order to watch the disc, the rear passen- ger must enter the correct password using the password entry method described below. To play all discs without requiring a password, set the DVD player’s rating to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level 1 always requires the password to play any DVD disc. Not all DVD discs encode a Rating, so it is still possible that discs designed for adult audiences can still play without requiring a password.

(Continued) • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N- Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. Automatic Transmission The shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL or PARK position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear. STARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. WARNING! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. (Continued) 454 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed. • Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal. Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start) NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal. Do not press the accelerator. Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the START position and release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure. Keyless Enter-N-Go™ – If Equipped This feature allows the driver to oper- ate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as long as the ENGINE START/STOP button is installed and the Remote Start/Keyless Enter-N- Go™ FOBIK is in the passenger com- partment.

Place the shift lever in PARK, then press and release the ENGINE START/STOP button. 2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position. 3. If the shift lever is not in PARK, the ENGINE START/ STOP button must be held for two seconds and vehicle speed must be below 5 mph (8 km/h) before the engine will shut off. The ignition switch position will remain in the ACC position until the shift lever is in PARK and the button is pressed twice to the OFF position. If the shift lever is not in PARK and the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed once, the EVIC (if equipped) will display a “Vehicle Not In Park” message and the engine will remain running. Never leave a vehicle out of the PARK position, or it could roll. NOTE: If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not running) position and the transmission is in PARK, the system will automatically time out after 30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition will switch to the OFF position. Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Functions – With Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal/Clutch Pedal (In PARK Or NEUTRAL Position) The Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature operates similar to an ignition switch. It has four positions, OFF, ACC, RUN and START. To change the ignition switch positions without starting the vehicle and use the accessories follow these steps. • Starting with the ignition switch in the OFF position: • Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once to change the ignition switch to the ACC position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE ACCESSORY”), • Press the ENGINE START/STOP button a second time to change the ignition switch to the RUN position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE RUN”), • Press the ENGINE START/STOP button a third time to return the ignition switch to the OFF position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE OFF”). Extreme Cold Weather (Below –20°F or −29°C) To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail- able from your authorized dealer) is recommended. If Engine Fails To Start STARTING AND OPERATING 457 WARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury. • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans- mission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. (Continued) 458 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) • If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen- cies” for further information. Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using ENGINE START/STOP Button) If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather⬙ proce- dures, it may be flooded.

STARTING AND OPERATING 459 ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord. The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine. The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood on the driver’s side of the vehicle. It has a removable cap that is located on the driver side of the Integrated Power Module. WARNING! Remember to disconnect the engine block heater cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause electrocution. 460 STARTING AND OPERATING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEU- TRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. NOTE: You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK. WARNING! • It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the shift lever is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against un- wanted movement. Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requires the shift lever to be placed in PARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the OFF position. The key fob can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and the shift lever is locked in PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the OFF position. NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the key fob in the ignition switch to warn you that this safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key fob cannot be removed until you obtain service. STARTING AND OPERATING 461 Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the ignition switch must be turned to the ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be pressed. 462 STARTING AND OPERATING Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehi- cle’s overall fuel economy during normal driving condi- tions. Press the “econ” switch in the center stack of the instrument panel and a green light will indicate the ECON mode is engaged. Fuel Economy Mode Switch later. allow the engine to operate at lower speeds. When the Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will change the following: • The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift • The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to • The torque converter clutch will engage at lower engine speeds and remain on longer. • The engine idle speed will be lower. • The overall driving performance will be more • Some ECON mode functions may be temporarily conservative. inhibited based on temperature and other factors. Six-Speed Automatic Transmission The shift lever position display (located in the instrument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range. You must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of PARK (Refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in this section). To drive, move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position. The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers). STARTING AND OPERATING 463 Shift Lever Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears. 464 STARTING AND OPERATING The transmission shift lever has only PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual down- shifts can be made using the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control (described later in this section). Mov- ing the shift lever to the left or right (–/+) while in the DRIVE position will select the highest available transmis- sion gear, and will display that gear in the instrument cluster as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Gear Ranges DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range. NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. PARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. When parking on a level surface, you may place the shift lever in PARK first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. WARNING! • Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle move- ment and possible injury or damage. (Continued) WARNING! (Continued) • Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in PARK. Check by trying to move the shift lever out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle. • It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. (Continued) STARTING AND OPERATING 465 WARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the engine OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the shift lever is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement. • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your vehicle. (Continued) 466 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
