Aif the

CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
the object while the Around View Monitor is
displayed, an indicator is displayed and a tone
is sounded by the corner sonar function to warn
the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and the
pattern of the tone vary according to the dis-
tance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns
yellow and the rate of the blinking and the
volume of the tone increase. When the corner of
the vehicle is very close to the object, the
indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the
tone sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the front
and rear bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the sensors are
covered, the accuracy of the corner sonar func-
tion will be diminished.
WARNING
● The corner sonar function is not designed to
prevent the object.
● The colors of the corner sonar indicator and
the distance guide lines in the
front/rearview indicate different distances
to the object.
● Inclement weather may affect the function of
the corner sonar system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation.
● This function is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary objects
to help avoid damaging the vehicle. The sys-
tem will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or
false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as pos-
sible to hear the tone clearly.

OPERATING TIPS
●The screen displayed on the Around View
Monitor will automatically return to the pre-
vious screen 3 minutes after the CAMERA
button has been pushed while the shift lever
is in a position other than the R (Reverse)
position.
● The display of images on the screen may be
delayed after screens are switched. Objects
in the Around View Monitor may be distorted
momentarily until the Around View Monitor
screen is displayed completely.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction. ●
When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the Around View
Monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object.
●
Objects on the monitor may not be clear and
the color of the object may differ in a dark
location or at night. This is not a malfunction.
●There may be differences in clearness be-
tween each camera view of the bird-eye view.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the Around View Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
that has been dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
● Do not damage the camera because the
monitor screen may be adversely affected.
● Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a mild detergent diluted
with water.

Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS)
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the ion control and the automatic air intake
control with exhaust gas detecting sensor.Ion control :
This unit generates highly concentrated Plas-
macluster ions into the air blown from the
ventilators and reduces odor absorbed into the
interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster ions automati-
cally.
The amount of Plasmacluster ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the
air flow is high, “
” is displayed on the
screen and when the air flow is low, the indica-
tion in the screen changes to “
”.
Plasmacluster and Plasmacluster ion are regis-
tered trademarks of Sharp Corporation.
Exhaust gas detection sensor :
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic intake air
control is ON, the sensor detects pollutants
such as CO and NO
2outside and the system
automatically changes from the outside air cir-
culation mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is pushed
under the following conditions, the indicator
light on the “
” side will illuminate and the
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/WMA/
AAC/ATRAC3)
Explanation of terms :
● MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near “CD
quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size
of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an
audio track can reduce the file size by
approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. The compression
reduces certain parts of sound that seem
inaudible to most people. ●
WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression than
the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more
digital audio tracks in the same amount of
space when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
● AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is
a lossy audio compression format. Audio
files that have been encoded with AAC are
generally smaller in size and deliver a higher
quality of sound than MP3.
● Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.
● Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
● Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is
called a multisession.
● ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part
of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that con-

information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

tered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft

and/or other countries.
Playback order :
●The folder names of folders not containing
compressed audio files are not shown in the
display.
● If there is a file in the top level of a disc/USB,
“Root Folder” is displayed. ●
The playback order is the order in which the
files were written by the writing software, so
the files might not play in the desired order.
● Music playback order of compressed audio
files is as illustrated in the next figure.
