The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
reduce pollen and dust entering the cabin.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dust will be reduced
as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the mainte-
nance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL”.NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road or frequent use of the air conditioning can reduce the
service life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is
lower than normal or when the windshield or windows
start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance.

switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTE
To listen to the audio system while the electric motor unit
is not running, turn the electric motor switch to the
“ACC” position.

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possi-
ble from the audio equipment.

If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at a certified
i-MiEV dealer. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using
the audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked at a certified i-MiEV
dealer.

3) files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable CDs), and
CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet,
and Romeo formats. Each disc may have a maximum of 16

beep).

With a disc that contains both CD-DA and MP3 files, the
CD-DA files are automatically played first.

The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.

Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.

MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied with this unit.

You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 or display-
ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drivers).

onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

This unit does not record MP3 files.

For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-40.
CAUTION
!
Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
which has the “.mp3” file name may produce noise
from the speakers and speaker damage, and can
damage your hearing.

5Handling of compact discs
N00734100340

Use only the type of compact discs that have the mark
shown in the illustration below. (Playback of CD-R or
CD-RW discs may cause problems.)

The use of special shaped, damaged compact discs (like
cracked discs) or low-quality compact discs (like warped
discs or burrs on the discs) such as those shown will dam-
age the CD player.

In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact discs and inside the audio system, preventing
normal operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.

When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.

When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.

Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the center hole.

To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in
a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.
Do not put additional labels or stickers on compact discs.
Also, do not use any compact disc on which a label or
sticker has started to peel off or any compact disc that has
stickiness or other contamination left by a peeled-off label
or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD player
may stop working properly and you may not be able to
eject the compact disc.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
N00751900112

You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs and can therefore
be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your
vehicle for a long time.

Depending on the combination of the writing software,
the CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive), and the disc used to
create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play successfully.

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session
is not closed.

This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain
data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).

Be sure to observe the handling instructions for the CD-
R/RW disc.
