Audio System
Type A (Some Models)
The aerial is embedded into the window glass.
When washing the inside of the window which has an aerial, use a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water, gently wiping the aerial lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the aerial.
Operating Tips for Audio System
Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehicle. Adjusting the audio while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering wheel, learn to use the switches without looking down at them so that you can keep your maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle.
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the audio volume to a level that allows you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle including car horns and particularly emergency vehicle sirens.
-
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the audio system on for a long period of time when the engine is not running.
-
If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to occur from the audio system, however, this does not indicate that the system has been damaged.
Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
Do not insert any objects, other than CDs, into the slot.
Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and bounce off the ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may sometimes be picked up on the same frequency at the same time.
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the sound into two channels, stereo FM has even less range than monaural (non-stereo) FM.
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect. Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distances possible with AM reception.
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM reception. High humidity will cause poor reception. However, cloudy days may provide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by obstructions, it is possible to receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the same time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This problem may also be encountered when in close proximity to the transmitter.
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in straight lines and become weak in valleys between tall buildings, mountains, and other obstacles. When a vehicle passes through such an area, the reception conditions may change suddenly, resulting in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals become weak because of distance from the transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is characterised by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter tower. The broadcast signals are extremely strong, so the result is noise and sound breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two strong stations broadcasting at similar frequencies, the original station may be temporarily lost and the second station picked up. At this time there will be some noise from this disturbance.
Operating Tips for CD Player
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player may become clouded with condensation. At this time, the CD will eject immediately when placed in the unit. A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical components will clear naturally in about an hour. Wait for normal operation to return before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the CD player
The following precautions should be observed.
-
Do not use deformed or cracked CDs. The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
-
Do not use non-conventional discs such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
-
If the memory portion of the CD is transparent or translucent, do not use the disc.
-
A new CD may have rough edges on its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with rough edges is used, proper setting will not be possible and the CD player will not play the CD. In addition, the disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction. Remove the rough edges in advance by using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown below. To remove the rough edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil against the inner and outer perimeter of the CD.
-
When driving over uneven surfaces, the sound may jump.
-
CDs bearing the logo shown in the illustration can be played. No other discs can be played.
-
Use discs that have been legitimately produced. If illegally-copied discs such as pirated discs are used, the system may not operate properly.
-
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by grasping the outer edge or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
-
Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side without a label). The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
-
Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of light reflected from the signal surface, thus affecting sound quality. If the CD should become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the centre of the CD to the edge.
-
Do not use record sprays, antistatic agents, or household spray cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can also damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Anything that can damage, warp, or fog plastic should never be used to clean CDs.
-
The CD player ejects the CD if the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
-
Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD player.
-
Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal affixed to it.
-
This unit may not be able to play certain CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or music CD recorder due to disc characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt, etc., or due to dust or condensation on the lens inside the unit.
-
Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature may damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make them unplayable.
-
CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot be played.
-
This unit may not be able to play certain discs made using a computer due to the application (writing software) setting used. (For details, consult the store where the application was purchased.)
-
It is possible that certain text data, such as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may not be displayed when musical data (CD-DA) is playing.
-
The period from when a CD-RW is inserted to when it begins playing is longer than a normal CD or CD-R.
-
Completely read the instruction manual and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
-
Do not use discs with cellophane tape adhering, partially peeled off labels, or adhesive material exuding from the edges of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with a commercially-available CD-R label affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, which is standardised voice compression established by the ISO*1 working group (MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be compressed to approximately a tenth of the source data size.
This unit plays files with the extension (.mp3) as MP3 files.
-
International Organisation for Standardisation
Do not use an audio file extension on files other than audio files. In addition, do not change the audio file extension. Otherwise, the unit will not recognise the file correctly resulting in noise or a malfunction.

Auto memory tuning
This is especially useful when driving in an area where the local stations are not known.
Press and hold the auto memory button (
) for about 2 seconds until a beep is heard; the system will automatically scan and
temporarily store up to 6 stations with the strongest frequencies in each selected
band in that area.
After scanning is completed, the station with the strongest frequency will be tuned
and its frequency displayed. Press and release the auto memory button () to recall stations from the auto-stored stations. One stored station will be selected
each time and its frequency and channel number will be displayed.
If no stations can be tuned after scanning operations, “A” will be displayed.
Operating the Radio (Type B)
Radio ON
