ignition is turned on, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. It should go out
when the engine is started.

problem with the electrical charging
system (such as a loose or broken
fan belt). Pull off to a safe place well
clear of traffic and contact your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
Check and Corrective Action1. Check to see if the fan belt is broken or loose.
2. If the fan belt is loose, adjust the tension.

This light should come on to show
that it is working when the engine
control switch is turned to the ON
position, and then should go out
after the engine is started.
If this light stays on or comes on
while the engine is running, it
indicates a malfunction with the
engine electronic emission control
system. Avoid driving at high
speeds and have the vehicle
inspected by your dealer.
If this light comes on when the fuel
tank is empty, you do not need to
have your vehicle serviced. See
Running Out of Fuel 0212. If this light comes on intermittently
or continuously while driving,
service is required. Even if the
vehicle is drivable and does not
require towing, see your dealer as
soon as possible. Continued driving
without having the system serviced
could cause damage to the
emission control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
drivability.Service Vehicle Soon

Radio Reception
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there is a
problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions
outside the vehicle. For example,
nearby buildings and terrain can
interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals.
And of course, radio signals have a
limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with your radio.
FM Transmissions
Fading and drifting stations -
Generally, the effective range of FM
is about 40 km (25 miles). Once
outside this range, you may notice
fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path - FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for two
signals to reach your antenna at the
same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss
of reception.
Static and fluttering - These occur
when signals are blocked by
buildings, trees, or other large
objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping - If the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere -
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere with those
received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference - When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station
are very nearly the same frequency,

Using the Audio System
{Warning
Adjust the radio or CD player only
while the vehicle is stationary.
Adjusting them while the vehicle
is moving could cause an
accident. You and others could be
seriously injured.
Adjust the volume so that sound
outside of the vehicle can be heard.
If outside sound cannot be heard,
accidents may be harder to avoid.
Do not install a radio equipment
antenna near the vehicle's radio
antenna. This could cause
unwanted noise on the radio or
while playing a CD.
The radio or CD/USB player can be
used when the engine control switch
is in the "ACC" or "ON" position.

discharge. Take care not to spill liquids, etc. on
the radio or CD player. It may cause
damage to the player.
Do not disassemble or apply oil to
the radio or CD player.
Disc
When it is cold or when it is raining,
the car windows will fog up and
cause dew (water drops) to form in
the vehicle compartment
(condensation). When this happens,
the audio may skip, and playback
will stop. Ventilate the vehicle
compartment and dehumidify before
resuming use.
The audio may skip due to violent
vibrations when the car is traveling
across harsh roads.
Never insert foreign objects into the
disc insertion slot.
Do not insert a wet disc into the
player.
This player uses an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the player. Be sure to
operate the player correctly.Playback may not be possible due
to recording conditions or disc
characteristics, scratches, dirt,
or deterioration.
Usable Discs
Most music CDs can be used. CD-R
and CD-RW discs recorded
according to the CD-DA format can
also be played.
CD-R (CD-Recordable), CD-RW
(CD-ReWritable) may not be able to
play back due to the recording
condition, characteristics of the disc,
damage, dirt or deterioration due to
long exposure to the environment of
the vehicle compartment. CD-R,
CD-RW that are not finalized and
CD-R and CD-RW that are saved in
the UDF format cannot be played
(excluding MP3/WMA).
CD-TEXT function is only
compatible with commercial CD
compatible with CD-TEXT.
Characters may not display
accurately in CD-R and CD-RW.

MP3/WMA files are compatible with
up to 8 levels of folders. However,
when there are many levels, it may
take some time before the first file is
played. Therefore, a two-level folder
is recommended.
Maximum characters for a folder/file
name: 64 (including extension).
A maximum of 700 folders and
3,000 files can be played in a single
memory device.
