2011 Toyota Prius Owners Manual

l Ever when a part of the solar panel is cast by a shadow. l Ever when a part of the solar panel is covered by fallen leaves or dirt. l The solar panel is not at a high temperature.

n When using the Solar Ventilation System

l Make sure that the “POWER” switch is in ON mode when turning the ventilation switch on. If the ventilation switch is turned on while the “POWER” switch is OFF, the air mode and the status of the air vents will remain unchanged.

l Remove dirt or fallen leaves from the solar panel in order to ensure suffi-

cient electrical output. If the Solar Ventilation System is not needed, be sure to turn the ventila- tion switch off, otherwise the following problems may occur: • Dirty air and exhaust fumes from other vehicles may be drawn from

outside.

• Use in winter may cause heated interior air to leave the vehicle, thus

leading to a drop in temperature.

n Noises when using the Solar Ventilation System

If the amount of sunlight is insufficient, you may hear a sound coming from the air conditioning system. This is the sound of a control function to pre- serve the fan and does not indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION

n Solar Ventilation System precautions

l Do not use the system if people are inside the vehicle.

The Solar Ventilation System is not intended to ensure the performance of the air conditioning system. Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle. The temperature of the interior will remain high, possibly resulting in heat- stroke, dehydration, or even death.

l This system should be used only for the relief of discomfort when entering

the vehicle, and should not be used for other purposes.

l Be careful not to touch the solar panel surface in scorching sun weather

conditions as it will rise very high in temperature and may cause burns.

n Operating conditions

The system will only operate if all of the following conditions are met: l The shift position is in “P”. l The “POWER” switch is OFF. l All doors are closed. l The hood is closed. l The brake pedal is not being depressed. l The air conditioning is not set to MAX HOT.

n When leaving the vehicle

l Check that the headlights are switched to either off or “AUTO”. l Check that the wiper switch is turned off. l Check that all windows are closed. l Check the temperature setting of the air conditioning system.

The Remote Air Conditioning System will operate in accordance with the temperature settings of the air conditioning system.

n Remote Air Conditioning System automatic shut-off

The system will automatically shut off under the following conditions: l About 3 minutes have passed since operation began l Any one of the operating conditions is not met The system may also shut off if the charge level of the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery) drops to low. (→P. 191)

n Conditions affecting operation

The system may not start in the following situations: l The charge level of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is low (→P. 191) l The air conditioning temperature is set at a high level

CAUTION

n Precautions for the Remote Air Conditioning System

Do not use the system if people are in the vehicle. l Even when the system is in use, the internal temperature may still reach a high level due to features such as the automatic shut-off. Children and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke or dehydration, or could result in death or serious injury.

l The wipers can be operated during system operation. Children or pets left

inside the vehicle may mistakenly operate these and cause an accident.

l Turn the wipers off. If the Remote Air Conditioning System operates while the wiper switch is in the on position, the wipers may operate and objects may get caught in the wiper blades.

l Do not operate the

if the hood is open. The air conditioning may operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical cool- ing fan.

l Depending on the surrounding environment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when necessary.

n MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format. Files can be compressed to approximately 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. There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards and to the media/formats recorded by them that can be used. l 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)

• Compatible bit rates

MPEG1 LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps) • MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160 (kbps) * Compatible with VBR • Compatible channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, dual channel and

monaural

l WMA file compatibility

• Compatible standards

WMA Ver. 7, 8, 9

• Compatible sampling frequencies

• Compatible bit rates (only compatible with 2-channel playback)

Ver. 7, 8: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192 (kbps) Ver. 9: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

l Compatible media

Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD- RWs. Playback in some instances may not be possible, depending on the status of the CD-R or CD-RW. Playback may not be possible or the audio may jump if the disc is scratched or marked with fingerprints.

l Compatible disc formats

The following disc formats can be used. • Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2

CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2
• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)

MP3 and WMA 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 limitations are as follows. • Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels • Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters • Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root) • Maximum number of files per disc: 255

327

PRIUS_U (OM47685U) DVD

3-2. Using the audio system

l File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

l Multi-sessions

As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to play discs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can be played. ID3 and WMA tags ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title and artist name, etc. The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 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.

l MP3 and WMA playback

When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnec- essary folders. If the discs contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data, only music data can be played.

328

PRIUS_U (OM47685U) DVD

3-2. Using the audio system

l Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and WMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.

l Playback

• To play MP3 file with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit

rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances,

depending on the characteristics of the disc.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA 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.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trade-

marks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.
