UNIQUE EV FUNCTIONS
DRIVING RANGE
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The driving range cannot be displayed. The power switch is in the ACC position. The driving range can be displayed when the power
switch is in the ON position or when the READY to
drive indicator light is on.
It cannot be displayed because the distance to empty
is too short. Charge the battery. Once the distance to empty
increased it will be displayed.
The driving range is displayed in an oval shape. As a result of the system correcting latitude and longitude, it may not be displayed as a circle.This is not a malfunction.
The distance to empty that is displayed in the lower
left hand side of the driving range and the scale of the
map do not match. As the map is displayed in 2D, the distance to empty
may differ from the actual distance on the road.
This is not a malfunction.

COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Music cannot be played back. The disc is inserted upside down. Insert a CD with the label side facing up.
Moisture condensation occurs inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approximately 1 hour).
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. A disc is not always
playable if it is scratched. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are stored,
discs may become unreadable due to deterioration
(for example, keeping the discs in the passenger
compartment, etc.) . Change the disc with a deterioration-free disc. Do
not use a deteriorated disc. The label surface of the
disc may crack or chip, and the layer of the label
surface may eventually peel off.
The compressed audio files cannot be played back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and com- pressed audio files (MP3 data, etc.) are mixed on one
disc, the audio compression files cannot be played
back.Prepare a disc that includes compressed audio files
only.
The files are not named using characters that are
compliant with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of
characters that are compliant with the specifications
for folder names and file names. In addition, always
use “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” for file
extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It is
recommended that unnecessary folders or any files
other than compressed audio files should not be
recorded in a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty.Wipe off any dirt from the disc.

10. Troubleshooting guide

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
No sounds are played though the CD play time is
displayed. The system plays back the first track of the mix mode
disc. (Mix mode is a format in which data except
music is recorded on the first track and music data is
recorded on one other than the first track in a
session.)Play back music data that are recorded on one other
than the first track.
Music cuts off or skips. The combination of writing software and hardware
might not match; or the writing speed, writing depth,
writing width, etc. might not match the specifications. Create a disc using different writing speed settings,
etc.
The system skips the selected track and moves to the
next track. A non-MP3/WMA file is given an extension of “.
MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma”.Prepare MP3/WMA files.
The system plays back a file that is prohibited due to
copyright protection. Prepare playable files.
The tracks do not play back in the desired order. The folder locations in the disc are changed by the writing software while the files are written in the disc.Check the settings of the writing software, and create
a new disc.
The CD cannot be ejected. The power switch is not pushed to the ACC or ON
position. Push the power switch to the ACC or ON position.
