Distance to empty (MI or km)
The Distance to Empty (DTE) mode provides you

calculated based on the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank and the actual fuel consumption. The display
is updated every 30 seconds. When the fuel level
is low, the DTE display will change to (*) .NOTE:
● If the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position may con-
tinue to be displayed.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
Average fuel economy (MPG or L/100 km)
The Average Fuel Economy is calculated based
on fuel consumption since the last reset. The
display is updated every 30 seconds and 1/3 mi
(500 m) . After a reset or connecting the battery
cables, the display might show (**.*) .

Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory (if
so equipped)
This system supports various USB memory
sticks, USB hard drives and iPod players. There
are some USB devices which may not be sup-
ported with this system.
● Make sure that the USB device is connected
correctly into the USB connector.
● Do not force the memory stick or USB cable

pletely.
● The player sometimes cannot function when
the passenger compartment temperature is
extremely high. Decrease the temperature
before use.
● Do not leave the USB memory in a place
prone to static electricity or where the air
conditioner blows directly. The data in the
USB memory may be damaged.
● Prepare the USB device by yourself be-
cause it is not equipped with the vehicle.

nector or cable is wet. Allow the cable
and/or connectors to dry completely before
connecting the USB device.
● Large video podcast files cause slow re-
sponses in the iPod. The vehicle center
display may momentarily black out, but it will

Bluetooth streaming audio (if so
equipped)
● Some Bluetooth audio devices may not be
recognized by the in-vehicle audio system.
● It is necessary to set up the wireless con-
nection between a compatible Bluetooth
audio device and the in-vehicle Bluetooth
module before using the Bluetooth audio.
● Operating procedure of the Bluetooth au-
dio will vary depending on the devices. Make
sure how to operate your audio device be-
fore using it with this system.
● The Bluetooth audio may be stopped under
the following conditions:
● Receiving a call on the Hands-Free
Phone System.
● Checking the connection to the hands-
free phone. ●
Do not place the Bluetooth audio device in
an area surrounded by metal or far away from
the in-vehicle Bluetooth module to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless con-
nection disruption.
● While an audio device is connected through
the Bluetooth wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the device may discharge
quicker than usual.

CD or USB with Compressed Audio
Files (models without Navigation
System)
The file types supported by this system are MP3
and WMA. 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 from CD-ROM can reduce the
file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3
compression removes the redundant and
irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the
human ear doesn’t hear.
● 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.
● 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.
