AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
NCGNJN1402-120906-B0DBBB37-B849-425F-902A-DDABE30FE9B4
CAUTION*8,'($)(($(&%$)&.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine or the hybrid
system is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods
of time with the engine or the hybrid
system turned off can discharge the
vehicle battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to
malfunction.
RADIONCGNJN1402-120906-2E7BDA12-EFEE-40F2-BD7E-0C1AD5ECA109Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you listen
to the radio with the engine or the hybrid system
not running, the ignition switch should be placed
in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-89FE3704-0B57-4447-88CD-7BD9D337A7DCYour radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception.
These circuits are designed to extend reception
range, and to enhance the quality of that
reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any malfunc-
tion in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
FM radio receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-275BC1BF-3C52-437B-9A90-2B55439E4402
SAA0306
Range: the FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
station) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within 25 miles (40 km) . The strength of
the FM signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the
same characteristics as light. For example they
will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
&RQGLWLRQ

> (GLW    0RGHO 1&*1-1 @
and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-F3C8ECE4-EFC7-4ED4-9553-9C805FE5ED54AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception (for
U.S.)
NCGNJN1402-633FD57A-547D-47B6-A341-C9B5BFCD27BDHD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
ªRadio Menuº (page 3-16)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available) , providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception (for U.S. and
Canada)
NCGNJN1402-120906-2273FD6D-FB06-452C-998D-A63512E7162FWhen the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
SiriusXM services require a subscription after
trial period and are sold separately or as a
package. The satellite service is available only in
the 48 contiguous USA and DC. SiriusXM
satellite service is also available in Canada; see
www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.

COMPRESSED AUDIO FILES (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
NCGNJN1402-120906-59506932-77E0-4626-8C21-4A60DD222070
Explanation of termsNCGNJN1402-120906-EB91730C-D0C7-441C-9028-C9C6F27A417B.MP3 Ð 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 ªCD
qualityº 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 Ð Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft 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 Ð 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 Ð Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
. Multisession Ð 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 Ð The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital music
file such as song title, artist, album title,
encoding bit rate, track time duration, etc.
ID3 tag information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.
. AAC Ð Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a
compressed audio format. AAC offers great-
er file compression than MP3 and enables
music file creation and storage at the same
quality as MP3.
