The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTE
To listen to the audio system while the engine is not run-
ning, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.
If the ignition switch is left in the “ACC” position, the
accessory power will automatically turn off after a certain
period of time and you will no longer be able to use the
audio system. The accessory power comes on again if the
ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.
The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is located under the
front right seat.
Do not subject the amplifier to a strong impact.
It could damage the amplifier or malfunctioning could
result.

To listen to an MP3 CDThis autochanger allows you to play MP3 (MPEG Audio
Layer-3) files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable
CDs), and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in ISO9660 Level
1/Level 2, Joliet, and Romeo formats. Each disc may have a
maximum of 16 trees, 100 folders and 255 files. During MP3
playback, the unit can display ID3 tag information. For infor-
mation concerning ID3 tag, refer to “CD text and MP3 title dis-
play” on page 5-95.

CD-DA files are automatically played first.

The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.

Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.

MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied with this unit.

You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 or display-
ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drivers).

If you record too many folders or files other than MP3
onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

This unit does not record MP3 files.

For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-133.
