the disc, the system will advance to
the next disc and begin to play. To
select a different disc, press an
appropriate side of the preset bar
(1 － 6). If you select an empty
position in the CD changer, the
system will try to load the CD in the
empty slot. Playing an MP3/WMA Disc
The CD changer can play CD-Rs and
CD-RWs compressed in MP3 and
WMA format. When playing a disc in
MP3 or WMA, you will see
‘‘MP3 ’’or
‘‘ WMA’’ on the center display. A disc
can support more than 99 folders,
and each folder can hold up to 255
playable files.
When there are more than 99 folders
on a disc, the center display only
shows two digits.
NOTE : If a file on an MP3 or WMA
disc is protected by digital rights
management (DRM), the audio unit
displays FORMAT, and then skips to
the next file.
If the disc has a complex structure, it
will take a while to read the disc
before the system begins to play it.

Using the Paddle Shifters in the S
position (Sequential Shift Mode)
With the shift lever in the S position,
you can select the sequential shift
mode to shift gears; much like a
manual transmission using the
paddle shifters, but without a clutch
pedal.
To enter the sequential shift mode,
press the release button on the front
of the shift lever, move the lever to
the S position, then pull either paddle
shifter. To cancel the sequential shift
mode and return to the ordinary
automatic transmission, move the
shift lever from the S position. When
moving the shift lever, be careful not
to operate incorrectly. While you are
driving in the sequential shift mode,
the transmission will not
automatically return to ordinary
automatic transmission.
When you move the shift lever from
‘‘D ’’to ‘‘S ’’ position and pull either
paddle shifter, the gear position
indicator displays ‘‘M’’ along with the
selected gear number.
To upshift, pull the ＋(right) paddle
shifter. To downshift, pull the －
(left) paddle shifter. When you accelerate from a stop, the
transmission starts in first gear, and
you must manually upshift between
first and fifth gears. Make sure you
upshift before the engine speed
reaches the tachometer's red zone.
The transmission remains in the
selected gear (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1). There
is no automatic downshift when you
push the accelerator pedal to the
floor.
When you are driving in 4th or 5th
gear, the transmission downshifts to
the lower gear under the following
conditions:
●The vehicle slows down to a
certain speed.●You press the brake pedal.
