driver in detecting large stationary objects
to help avoid damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small objects below
the bumper and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
WARNING
. The rearview monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation because it has areas
where objects cannot be viewed. Always
look out the windows and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the
RearView Monitor will appear visually
opposite like ones viewed in the inside
and outside mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format
allows for near “CD quality”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people. .
WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A —Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than

once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

Playback order:
. The folder names of folders not contain-
ing compressed audio files are not
shown in the display.
. If there is a file in the top level of a disc/
USB, “Root Folder” is displayed. .
The playback order is the order in which
the files were written by the writing
software, so the files might not play in
the desired order.
. Music playback order of compressed
audio files is as illustrated.
