What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-III) and WMA
(Windows Media
TM
Audio) are the com-
pression formats of digital audio. The
former is developed by MPEG (Motion Pic-
ture Experts Group), and the latter is
developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using
these compression formats, you can
record the contents of about 10 music CDs
on a single CD media (This figures refer to
data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-
RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA files
Common
 High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high qual-
ity sounds.
 Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended because playing time is
not displayed properly and sound may
be skipped.
 The playback sound quality differs
depending on the encoding circum-
stances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software
and writing software.
MP3
 It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
WMA
 It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“64 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
 Do not set the copy protect attribute on
the WMA file to enable this unit to play
back.
NOTE:
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in the
MP3/WMA format. This may not only pro-
duce noise from the speaker damage, but
also damage your hearing.Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-
media
 You are recommended to minimize the
chances of making a disc that contains
both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
 If CD-DA files are on the same disc as
MP3 or WMA files, the songs may not
play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
 When storing MP3 data and WMA data
on the same disc, use different folders
for each data.
 Do not record files other than MP3/WMA
files and unnecessary folder on a disc.
 The name of an MP3/WMA file should
be added by rules as shown in the fol-
lowing descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each file system.
 The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma”
should be assigned to each file depend-
ing on the file format.
 You may encounter trouble in playing
MP3/WMA files or displaying the infor-
mation of MP3/WMA files recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
 This unit does not have a play list func-
tion.
 Although Multi-session recording is sup-
ported, the use of Disc-at-Once is rec-
ommended.

When the audio system is disconnected
from its power source, such as when the
audio system is removed or the battery is
disconnected, the system will not operate
again unless the PIN is reentered.Setting the Anti-Theft Function1) Turn off the power by pressing the

from 1 to 6 into any 4-digit number. If you
forget your PIN, when you remove the bat-

Radio ReceptionRadio reception can be affected by envi-
ronment, atmospheric conditions, or radio
signal’s power and distance from the sta-
tion. Nearby mountains and buildings may
interfere or deflect radio reception, causing
poor reception. Poor reception or radio
static can also be caused by electric cur-
rent from overhead wires or high voltage
power lines.
Listening to a CD

 CDs or CD-ROMs carrying no mark (A)
cannot be used.
 Some discs previously recorded in CD-
R\CD-RW format may not be used.
52D291
 A CD is inserted with its label facing
upward.
 When there is a CD already loaded in
the unit, another CD cannot be loaded at
the same time. Do not use force when
inserting the CD into the CD insertion
slot.
 If a blank disc (non-recorded CD-R) is
loaded in the unit, the disc will be
ejected.
(A)
CAUTION
 Never insert your finger or hand
into the CD insertion slot. Never
insert foreign objects.
 Never insert a CD with glue coming
out from adhesive tape or a rental
CD label or with a trace indicating
that adhesive tape or a rental CD
label has been removed. This may
cause the CD not to eject or result
in a malfunction.

Floor Mats (if equipped)
80J2014
Your vehicle has a fastener to keep the
driver’s side floor mat from sliding forward
and possibly interfering with the pedals.
Whenever you put the driver’s side floor
mat back in the vehicle after it has been
removed, be sure to hook the floor mat
grommet(s) to the fastener(s) and position
the floor mat properly in the footwell.
When you replace the floor mats in your
vehicle with a different type such as all-
weather floor mats, we highly recommend
using genuine SUZUKI floor mats for
proper fitting.
Luggage Compartment Cover Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment can be hidden from
view by a luggage compartment cover.
However, the luggage compartment covers
are not designed to support items loaded
on top of them, and may get damaged if
used as a shelf.
NOTE:
The seatback should always be securely
latched in a fairly upright position when
removing or installing the luggage com-
partment cover.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Failure to take the following precau-
tions may result in the driver’s side
floor mat interfering with the pedals
and causing a loss of vehicle control
or an accident.
 Make sure that the floor mat grom-
met(s) is(are) hooked to the fas-
tener(s).
 Never place additional floor mats
on top of the existing floor mats.
WARNING
Do not carry items on top of the lug-
gage compartment cover, even if they
are small and light. Objects on top of
the cover could be thrown about in an
accident, causing injury, or could
obstruct the driver’s rear view.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the luggage com-
partment cover:
 Do not place items on top of it.
 Do not push down on it or lean on
it.
 Handle it carefully when installing
or removing.
