Disc Messages
DISC ERROR: If this message
displays and/or the disc ejects, it
could be for one of the following
reasons:
.The radio system does not
support the playlist format, the
compressed audio format, or the
data file format.
.It is very hot. When the
temperature returns to normal,
the disc should play.
.The road is very rough. When
the road becomes smoother, the
disc should play.
.The disc is dirty, scratched, wet,
or upside down.
.The air is very humid. If so, wait
about an hour and try again.
.There was a problem while
burning the disc.
.The label is caught in the CD/
DVD-A player.
If the disc is not playing correctly, for
any other reason, try a known
good disc.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if
an error cannot be corrected,
contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it
down and provide it to your dealer
when reporting the problem.
CD/DVD Player
The infotainment system's CD/DVD
player can play audio discs and
MP3 discs.

Infotainment System 7-21
The CD/DVD player does not
support the playback of DVD video
discs. If a DVD video disc is
inserted into the player, the radio
displays“Read Error Please Check
Disc” and ejects the disc.
Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD/DVD, the sound
quality can be reduced due to disc
quality, the method of recording, the
quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the disc has
been handled. Handle discs
carefully. Store CDs and DVDs in
their original cases or other
protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD/
DVD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of
a disc is damaged, such as cracked,
broken, or scratched, the disc may
not play properly or not at all. Do
not touch the bottom side of a disc
while handling it; this could damage
the surface. Pick up discs by
grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a disc is soiled,
take a soft, lint‐free cloth or dampen
a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD/DVD Player
Do not add a label to a disc; it could
get caught in the CD/DVD player.
If a label is needed, label the top of
the recorded disc with a
marking pen.
The use of disc lens cleaners for
discs is not advised, due to the risk
of contaminating the lens of the disc
optics with lubricants internal to the
CD/DVD player mechanism.
Notice:
If a label is added to a
disc, or more than one disc is
inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play
scratched or damaged discs, the
CD/DVD player could be
damaged. While using the CD/
DVD player, use only discs in
good condition without any label, load one dosc at a time, and keep
the CD/DVD player and the
loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.

Ejecting a CD or Turning Off the
Vehicle While Recording
If the CD is ejected or the vehicle is
turned off before the recording
process has completed, tracks that
have been completely recorded are
stored to the HDD. Incomplete
tracks are discarded.
Re-recording Audio CDs
If a CD has already been recorded,
the radio system will not record the
contents again. If a partially
recorded CD is selected for
recording, only those songs which
are not already on the HDD will be
recorded.
Audio CD Song, Artist, Album,
and Genre Information
Radios with HDD contain a
Gracenote
®Database that the radio
uses to determine the song, artist,
album, and genre information. The
Gracenote Database allows the
radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the content using
song, artist, album, and genre
information.
Newly released audio CDs as well
as some less common audio CDs
may not be found in the Gracenote
Database stored on the HDD.
If these audio CDs contain CD-text,
the radio will use the CD-text
information when recording the
content to the HDD. If an audio CD
is not found in the Gracenote
Database and it does not have
CD-text information, the radio will
record the audio CD with all song,
artist, album and genre names as
“NO INFO.”
Songs recorded with
“NO INFO”to
the HDD will be hard to sort,
identify, and select. To make HDD
navigation easier, CDs with “NO
INFO” can first be converted to MP3
format with Tag information on a
home computer and then recorded
to the HDD from an MP3 disc or
USB device. Occasionally, the radio may find
more than one match in the
Gracenote Database for an audio
CD that has been recorded. If this
happens, the radio will display
“Multi‐Hit”
for the name information
when the songs are selected from
the HDD. With a “Muli‐Hit”song
playing, press the button below the
EDIT tab to bring up the list of
multiple names found in the
Gracenote Database. Use the
MENU/SELECT knob to highlight
and select the correct name for the
“Multi‐Hit” recorded CD.
The Gracenote Database stored on
the HDD can be updated so that it
includes name information for more
recently released audio CDs. See
your dealer for more information on
Gracenote
®Database updates for
the HDD radio.

8-2 Climate Controls
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):The system
automatically controls fan speed, air
delivery, and air conditioning in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature. When the
indicator light is on, the system is in
full automatic operation. If the air
delivery mode or fan setting is
manually adjusted, the auto
indicator turns off and displays will
show the selected settings.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between
21°C (70°F) and 27°C (80°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting will not
cause the system to heat or cool
any faster.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The system starts
out blowing air at the floor, but
can automatically change modes as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time
needed for warm up depends on
the outside temperature and the
length of time that has elapsed
since the vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to
30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
English can be changed to metric
units through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver

Air is directed to the
floor outlets, with some air directed
to the windshield and outboard
outlets.
-(Defog): This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, floor, and
side window outlets. When this
mode is selected, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the
air-conditioning compressor unless
the outside temperature is at or
below freezing. If recirculation is
selected while in defog mode, it is
cancelled after 10 minutes.

windshield of fog or frost more
quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some air directed to
the side windows. In this mode, the
system automatically turns off
recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor, unless
the outside temperature is at or
below freezing.
This mode can also cause the fan
speed and air temperature to
increase.
#(Air Conditioning):
Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off and override the automatic
system. When in AUTO, the air
conditioning compressor comes on
automatically, as needed.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
