Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3 les. By default the radio reads only the
uncompressed audio and ignores the MP3 les.
Pressing the CAT (category) button toggles
between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Avoid mixing standard audio and MP3 les
on one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy
to nd songs while driving. Organize songs
by albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions might
not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder, or
playlist names. Long le, folder, or playlist
names, or a combination of a large number of
les and folders, or playlists can cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists, or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, and might not fully display.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc can
cause the disc not to function in the player.
Change playlists by using the previous and next
folder buttons, the tuner knob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no le folders can also be played.
213

If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les,
the player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maximum are
not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory displays
as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly under
the root directory are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only
compressed les, the les are located under
the root folder. The next and previous folder
functions are not displayed on a CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no folders, all
les are located under the root folder. The folder
down and the folder up buttons search playlists
(Px) rst and then goes to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name of the
folder, the radio displays ROOT.
214

Once the disc has been scanned, the player
defaults to playing MP3 les in order by artist.
The current artist playing is shown on the second
line of the display between the arrows. Once all
songs by that artist are played, the player moves to
the next artist in alphabetical order on the CD-R/
CD-RW and begins playing MP3 les by that artist.
If you want to listen to MP3 les by another artist,
press the pushbutton located below either arrow
button. The CD goes to the next or previous artist in
alphabetical order. Continue pressing either button
until the desired artist displays.

album, press the pushbutton located below the
Sort By label. From the sort screen, push one
of the buttons below the album button. Press the
pushbutton below the back label to return to the

songs from the current album and begins to play.Once all songs from that album are played, the
player moves to the next album in alphabetical
order on the CD-R or CD-RW and begins playing
MP3 les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the
pushbutton below the Back label to return to
normal MP3 playback.

Used engine oil contains certain elements that may
be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for
very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from
the lter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used
oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station,
or a local recycling center for help.

Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best
if it is cleaned often. Although not always visible,
dust and dirt can accumulate on your upholstery.
Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Regular vacuuming is recommended
to remove particles from your upholstery. It is
important to keep your upholstery from becoming
and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should be
removed as quickly as possible. Your vehicle’s
interior may experience extremes of heat that
could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more
frequent cleaning. Use care because newspapers
and garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use
cleaners specically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result from
using cleaners on surfaces for which they were
not intended. Use glass cleaner only on glass.Remove any accidental over-spray from other
surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehicle, you
could scratch the glass and/or cause damage
to the rear window defogger. When cleaning
the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label. While cleaning your
vehicle’s interior, maintain adequate ventilation by
opening your vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and
knobs using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your dealer has a product for cleaning your
vehicle’s glass. Should it become necessary,
you can also obtain a product from your dealer
to remove odors from your vehicle’s upholstery.
