length PONTIAC SOLSTICE 2006 Owners Manual

Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on one disc.
Make sure playlists have a.pls, or.m3u, or.rmp
extension, other le extensions may not work.
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les. Long
le, folder, or playlist names or a combination of a large
number of les and folders or playlists may cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of
les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a
large number of les, folders, playlists or sessions,
minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist name. You
can also play an MP3 CD-R that was recorded using no
le folders. The system can support up to 11 folders in
depth, however, keep the total number of folders to a
minimum in order to reduce the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a
CD-R contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les, the player will let
you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always be
accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed les directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les, the
les will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will not be displayed on a
CD-R that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located
under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) rst and then go to
the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.

Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy. It is the number one contributor
to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims
every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a
vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,
these deaths are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years, more than
16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol, with more than
300,000 people injured.
Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half the adult
population — choose never to drink alcohol, so they
never drive after drinking. For persons under 21,
it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol.
There are good medical, psychological, and
developmental reasons for these laws.The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway
safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and
then drive. But what if people do? How much is “too
much” if someone plans to drive? It is a lot less
than many might think. Although it depends on each
person and situation, here is some general information
on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of someone
who is drinking depends upon four things:
The amount of alcohol consumed
The drinker’s body weight
The amount of food that is consumed before and
during drinking
The length of time it has taken the drinker to
consume the alcohol
According to the American Medical Association, a 180 lb
(82 kg) person who drinks three 12 ounce (355 ml)
bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about
0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by
drinking three 4 ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three
mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of liquors
like whiskey, gin, or vodka.
