available connection cord.
2. Press the CD button (B) for more than 2 seconds.

NOTE
The connected audio equipment cannot be operated with
the vehicle’s audio system.

Depending on the connected audio equipment, it may pro-
duce noise from the speakers.

Use the connected audio equipment’s own power source,
such as its battery.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if the connected
audio equipment is used while charging it using the acces-
sory socket of the vehicle.

Do not activate the external audio input mode when no
audio equipment is connected.
Otherwise, noise may be produced from the speakers.

Connect audio equipment when the external audio input
mode is deactivated or lower the vehicle’s speaker volume
before connecting it.
Noise may be produced from the speakers if audio equip-
ment is connected after the external audio input mode is
activated.

Compared to the CD player mode and radio mode, the
vehicle’s speaker volume will be lower in the external
audio input mode. Therefore, be careful when switching
from the external audio input mode to the CD player mode
or radio mode since the speaker volume will be higher.

Do not use excessive force on the connection cord. Other-
wise, the cord and connectors may be damaged.

If the connection cord alone is left connected to the auxil-
iary audio connector, noise may be produced from the
speakers.

For information on how to connect and operate the com-
mercially available audio equipment, refer to the owner’s
manual for the commercially available audio equipment.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate the connected audio equipment while
driving.
This could distract you and an accident might occur.

NOTE
Reception may not be possible in a place where the signal is interrupted by a tunnel, by the roof of a garage or other structure,
by woods, or by a tall building. At such times, the audio is muted. This behavior does not indicate a fault.

Reception conditions may vary according to the angle of the satellite used for the satellite radio service.

Reception may deteriorate if a luggage carrier is attached to the roof or snow collects on the antenna.

Satellite radio reception may not be possible in certain regions.

In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact discs and inside the audio system, preventing
normal operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.

When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.

When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.

Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the center hole.
To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in
a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.
