ped with an optional function that controls the
electrically operated driver's seat in the follow-
ing way:

2. When you leave the car, lock it using the
remote key.
3. The next time the driver's door is unlocked
with the same remote key and that door is
opened within 2 minutes, the driver's seat
and side door mirrors will automatically
move to the position that they were in when
the doors were most recently locked with
the same remote key.
NOTE
The memory function in the remote key
operates independently the memory func-

The text LOADING will be displayed while the
system loads the files (folder structure) on the
device. This may take a short time.
When information about the files (the folder
structure) on the device has been loaded, the
resulting list includes information on the artist,

igation control (no. 5 in the illustration on
page 247) to select the desired track. The
arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad
can also be used in the same way.NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the
most common versions of formats such as
mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be
versions of these formats that the system
does not support.
The system also supports a number of
iPodŸ models produced in 2005 or later.
iPodŸ Shuffle is not supported.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.
NOTE
The system supports removable media that
uses the USB 2.0 standard and the FAT32
file system and can index up to 500 folders
and a maximum of 64,000 files. The device
must have at least 256 Mb of memory.
MP3 playerMany MP3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an MP3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/
Mass Storage Device.
iPodŸ
An iPodŸ receives current and its battery is
charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the
iPodŸ is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPodŸ is used as a sound source,
the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPodŸ. See
the iPod's manual for detailed information.
For further information, refer to the accessory
manual USB/iPodŸ Music Interface.
Sound settings
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is calibrated for optimal
sound reproduction through the use of digital
signal processing. This calibration takes into
account the speakers, amplifier, cabin acous-
tics, the seating position of the listener, etc., for
each combination of vehicle and audio system.
There is also dynamic calibration that takes
into account the setting of the volume control,
radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The
sound settings described in this manual, such
as
BASS, TREBLE, and EQUALIZER are only
