zMP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ve r. 1 . 0 , Ve r. 1 .1 , Ve r. 2 . 2 a n d Ve r. 2 . 3 f o r -
mats. This system cannot display disc title,
track title and artist name in other formats.
z WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry informa-
tion such as track title and artist name.
z The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3 files.
z This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes. z
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
z m3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
z MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the audio
player.
z The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
z When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward or reverse operations are used.
z It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
z MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels of
folders.

4zThe play order of the compact disc with the
structure shown above is as follows:
z The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.
z This is a general term that describes the pro-
cess of writing data on-demand to CD-R,
etc., in the same way that data is written to
floppy or hard discs.
z This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year of
production, comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag editing func-
tions. Although the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the information can
be viewed when the track is played back. z
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title
and artist name.
z This is the internationa l standard for the for-
matting of CD-ROM folders and files. For
the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 levels of
regulations.
z Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character file
extension. File names must be composed of
one-byte capital letters and numbers. The
“_” symbol may also be included.)
z Level 2: The file name can have up to 31
characters (including the separation mark
“.” and file extension). Each folder must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies.
z Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
z MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to about
1 /10 the size of that on conventional discs.

zWMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Microsoft

smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9.
z AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology standard used with MPEG2 and

zThe bumper or sensor receives a strong
impact.
z The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved
curb.
z In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
z The area directly under the bumpers is not
detected.
z If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
z A non-genuine Lexus suspension (lowered
suspension etc.) is installed.
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
z The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections project- ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle z
The following situations may occur during
use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sen- sor may not be detected for collision
when approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of air conditioning system.
