Notes On Playing MP3/WMA Files The radio can play MP3/WMA files; however, acceptable MP3/WMA file recording media and formats are limited. When writing MP3/WMA files, pay attention to the following restrictions. Supported Media (Disc Types) The MP3/WMA file recording media supported by the radio are CDDA, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3,WMA, DVD Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and CDDA+MP3. Supported Medium Formats (File Systems) The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension. When reading discs recorded using formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read files properly and may be unable to play the file nor- mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported.

character extension)

Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3/ WMA files). Discs created with an option such as ⬙keep disc open after writing⬙ are most likely multisession discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3/ WMA playback may result in longer disc loading times.

If a disc contains multi-formats, such as CD audio and MP3/WMA tracks, the radio will only play the MP3/ WMA tracks on that disc. Supported MP3/WMA File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.MP3/WMA extension as MP3/WMA files. Non-MP3/WMA files named with the *.MP3/WMA extension may cause play- back problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3/WMA and will not play the file. When using the MP3/WMA encoder to compress audio data to an MP3/WMA file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3/WMA files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.

Notes On Playing MP3 Files The radio can play MP3 files; however, acceptable MP3
file recording media and formats are limited. When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following restric- tions. Supported Media (Disc Types) The MP3 file recording media supported by the radio are CDDA, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, and CDDA+MP3. Supported Medium Formats (File Systems) The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension. When reading discs recorded using formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read files properly and may be unable to play the file nor- mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported. The radio uses the following limits for file systems: • Maximum number of folder levels: 8

252 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

• Maximum number of files: 255
• Maximum number of folders. (The radio display of file names and folder names is limited. For large numbers of files and/or folders, the radio may be unable to display the file name and folder name and will assign a number instead. With a maximum number of files, exceeding 20 folders will result in this display. With in this 200 files, exceeding 50 folders will result display.) • Maximum number of characters in file/folder names: • Level 1: 12 (including a separator ⬙.⬙ and a three- • Level 2: 31 (including a separator ⬙.⬙ and a three-

Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3 files).

Discs created with an option such as ⬙keep disc open after writing⬙ are most likely multisession discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3 playback may result in longer disc loading times. Supported MP3 File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.MP3 exten- sion as MP3 files. Non-MP3 files named with the *.MP3
extension may cause playback problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3 and will not play the file. When using the MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3 files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.

Automatic Control The ATC system can maintain a steady comfort level in various weather conditions with a simple operation: • Select your desired temperature setting by pressing the + or - side of the Temp rocker switches. A digital temperature setting for driver and passenger will be displayed. The ATC system uses an infrared sensor located in the overhead console to measure the tem- perature of the driver and passengers. Based on the sensor input, the system will automatically control comfort by varying the temperature, fan speed, and mode. This maintains a comfortable temperature, even under changing conditions. It is important that objects are not blocking the infrared sensor. It is also impor- tant that objects are not used that may scratch or damage it in any way.

Level Of Automatic Control 72°F (22°C) is the recommended setting for maximum comfort for the average person, however, this may vary. NOTE: • The temperature setting can be adjusted at any time without affecting automatic control operation. It is not necessary to move the temperature setting for cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode and fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible. • In cold weather, the fan will not turn on in Auto mode until the engine coolant has warmed up sufficiently. This is indicated by the “WARM UP DELAY” message on the display. • The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric by selecting the U.S./METRIC Customer-Programmable

to ⬙Overhead Console Customer- feature. Refer Programmable Features⬙ in Section 3. The mode will also be shown in the display and will change as required during automatic operation. • The system can be put into recirculate mode without affecting ATC operation. This will prevent outside air from entering the vehicle. Use this mode to tempo- rarily block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust.

Manual Control (ATC) You may also choose to customize your comfort by selecting the fan speed and mode manually. Turning the fan speed knob or any mode button places the system into manual operation. While in manual operation there are six fan speeds available and the choice of any mode. The airflow temperature is adjusted automatically to maintain the desired comfort level. You can adjust the temperature by pressing the + or - Temp rocker switches.

FAN Control

Use this knob to regulate the amount of air delivered through the system in any mode you select. Rotation of the knob to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter- clockwise) fan speed. Air Conditioning Operation

Press this button to enable the air conditioning system. Compressor operation is automatic when you press the AUTO button and no snowflake is shown. A snowflake indicates that the A/C system is enabled. The snowflake will not be displayed in AUTO mode even though the A/C system is enabled. The compressor may operate at any temperature above 32°F (0°C). NOTE: The compressor will not engage until the engine has been running for several seconds. Slight changes in

276 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

engine speed or power may be noticed when the com- pressor cycles. This is a normal occurrence since the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain comfort and improve fuel economy. Recirculate Button

Press this button to recirculate the air inside the vehicle. Outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle. Use this mode to temporarily block out any outside odors, smoke, dust or when

rapid cooling of the interior is required. Manual control of recirculation is possible only in Panel, Floor, and Bi-Level modes. It will not operate in Mix, or Defrost modes. The recirculation symbol will flash three times indicating recirculation is not available in these modes.

If the interior of the windows begin to fog, press NOTE: the Recirculate button to return to outside air. Some conditions will cause captured interior air to fog win- dows when in recirculate mode. Panel

Air flows through the outlets located in the instru- ment panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct

the airflow. Floor (Heat)

Air flows primarily through the floor outlets lo- cated under the instrument panel. A small amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets. Mix

Outside air flows in equal proportions through the floor and defroster outlets.

Bi-Level

Air flows through the outlets located in the instru- ment panel and those located on the floor.

NOTE: There is a difference in temperature between the upper and lower outlets for added comfort. The warmer air goes to the floor outlets. This feature gives improved comfort during sunny but cool conditions. Defrost

Outside air is directed to the windshield through the defroster outlet located at the base of the

windshield and side window demist outlets. NOTE: The air conditioning compressor operates in both Mix and Defrost or a blend of these modes, even if the A/C snowflake button has not been pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield.

Rear Temperature Control (ATC) The REAR button cycles through the following modes: Rear Control From Front This allows the driver or passenger to control the rear blower speeds rotating the Power/Fan knob and the rear temperature using the PASS/REAR Temp +/- rocker switch. While in this mode, pressing the POWER/FAN knob will turn the rear system off. Pressing the Power/ Fan knob will turn the rear system back on. NOTE: The display will show a ⬙REAR⬙ fan speed graph and a ⬙REAR⬙ digital temp setting. CONTROL IN REAR This allows the passengers in the second row seats to control the blower speed and temperature by means of the rear control located in the rear of the center floor console as described under the ⬙Rear Zone Climate Control.⬙

278 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

NOTE: The front display will show “CONTROL IN REAR.” REAR OFF This turns the rear system off. The control will return to the front system display after approximately five seconds if no buttons are pushed while in one of the rear system displays. You may also return to the front system display sooner by pushing any button except the Power/Fan knob, the REAR button, or the driver/passenger Temp rocker buttons. NOTE: The display will show “REAR OFF.” REAR AUTO This mode places the rear system in automatic tempera- ture control. Rear temperature can be set as desired (72°F [22°C] recommended for average person) and will be displayed digitally on the front control when in rear mode.

Rear Window Defrosting and Rear Window Washer/Wiper Refer to “Rear Window Features” in section 3. Rear Zone Climate Control — If Equipped

Rear Outlets

Headliner air comes from the outlets in the headliner. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. Moving the air vane knobs on the outlets to one side will shut off the airflow.

The rear compartment control uses two rotary knobs: one for the temperature control and the other for the fan speed control. The mode for the rear air conditioning and

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 279

heating system is always controlled by the front control unit. Fan and temperature can be controlled from the front control unit or the rear control unit. Rear Rotary Blower Control The second row seat occupants have control of the rear blower speed only when the front control unit is in the “REAR CONTROL” position or “CONTROL IN REAR for ATC.⬙ The rear blower switch has an OFF position and a range of blower speeds. Rotating the rear blower control clock- wise will increase the blower speed. Rear Rotary Temperature Control The second row seat occupants have control of the rear temperature only when the front control unit is in the ⬙REAR CONTROL⬙ position.

Fast Cooldown For a fast cooldown, set the blower fan to the highest setting, set the mode control to the panel fresh position, press the Snowflake button to turn on the air condition- ing, and drive with the windows open for the first few minutes. Once the hot air has been expelled, close the windows and set the mode selector to the Recirculation panel or Recirculation Bi-level position. When a comfort- able condition has been reached, choose a mode position

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 281

and adjust the temperature control and blower speed as necessary to maintain comfort. For high humidity condi- tions, it may be necessary to remain in the Recirculation mode to maintain comfort. Window Fogging Windows will fog on the inside when the humidity inside the vehicle is high. This often occurs in mild or cool temperatures when it’s rainy or humid. In most cases, turning on the air conditioning (pressing the snowflake button) will clear the fog. Adjust the temperature control, air direction and blower speed to maintain comfort. As the temperature gets colder it may be necessary to direct air onto the windshield by using Mix Mode position on the control. Adjust the temperature control and blower speed to maintain comfort. Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly removed by selecting the defrost mode.

282 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Regular cleaning of the inside of the windows with a non-filming cleaning solution (vinegar and water works very well) will help prevent contaminants (cigarette smoke, perfumes, etc.) from sticking to the windows. Contaminants increase the rate of window fogging. Summer Operation Air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high quality antifreeze coolant during summer to provide proper corrosion protection and to raise the boiling point of the coolant for protection against overheating. A 50 % concentration is recommended.

Winter Operation When operating the system during the winter months, make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the windshield, is free of ice, slush, snow, or other obstruc- tions. This will also prevent snow ingestion into the ducts.
