All of the following situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the
fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop
quickly or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank
than the gage indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated that the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than half
the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC
is also used to display warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below
the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons
are located on the instrument panel, to the left of
the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display the information
that was last displayed before the engine was
turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status
messages. The bottom line of the DIC display
shows the odometer on the left side, the outside
air temperature on the right side, and the shift
position indicator in the center. For more
information on the shift position indicator, see
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 122.

When the sport mode is active, an S will appear
next to the shift position indicator on the center of
the DIC display. When the manual mode is
active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When
the normal mode is active, only the shift position
indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift Control
(DSC) feature is active, the DIC will change to
show the selected gear. See″Driver Shift Control
(DSC)″underAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 122for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the message will only
make the message disappear, not correct the
problem.DIC Controls and Displays

Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or
a combination of a large number of les
and folders, or playlists can 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.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
can cause the disc not to function in the
player.
Change playlists by using the previous and next
folder buttons, the tuner knob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R that was recorded using no le
folders can also be played. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
and 255 les, the player lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All
les contained directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) are always 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 advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
258

No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les,
the les are located under the root folder. The next
and previous folder functions do not display on
a CD-R that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les are
located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) rst
and then goes to the root folder. When the
radio displays the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R play in the following
order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Playlists can be changed by pressing the
next and previous folder button, the seek
buttons, or turning the tuner knob.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode has been chosen as the default
display. The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is
not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays
the le name without the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 22 characters or
four pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
does not display.
259

Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Windows Media
Player™ software can be accessed, however, they
cannot be edited using the radio. These playlists
are treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song les. Playlists must have
a le extension of M3U or WPL.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous
and next folder buttons, the seek buttons, or
turning the tuner knob. Tracks cannot be changed.
Songs are played sequentially; press the REV
or FWD to reverse or advance through the
currently playing song.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R partway into the slot (Single CD
Player), or press the load button and wait for the
message to insert disc (Six-Disc CD Player),
label side up. The player pulls it in, and the CD-R
should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off while a CD-R is
in the player, it stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R starts to
play where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the
quality of the music that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R has been handled. There can be an
increase in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks,
and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these
problems occur, check the bottom surface of the
CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not play
properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare
of Your CDs on page 271for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
