Things You Need to Know

WARNING

Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a serious
accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep your
maximum attention on the road while
driving the vehicle.

CAUTION

For the purposes of safe driving, adjust
the audio volume to a level that allows
you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle
including car horns and particularly
emergency vehicle sirens.

NOTE

To prevent the battery from being

discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.

If a cellular phone or CB radio is

used in or near the vehicle, it could
cause noise to occur from the audio
system, however, this does not
indicate that the system has been
damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.

Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.

Radio Reception

AM characteristics

    AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
  Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
  Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.

Station 2

Station 1

Ionosphere

FM characteristics

An FM broadcast range is usually about
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.

FM Station

40—50km
(25—30 miles)

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do re

À ect.

Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

AM wave

FM wave

100—200 km (60—120 miles)

Ionosphere

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days.

Multipath noise

Since FM signals can be re

À ected by

obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the re

À ected signal

at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.

Reflected wave

Direct

5–146

Interior Features

Appendix

Flutter/Skip noise

Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.

Weak signal noise

In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterised by sound breakup.

Strong signal noise

This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.

Station drift noise

When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Station 2
88.3 MHz

Station 1
88.1 MHz

Operating Tips for CD Player

Condensation phenomenon

Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or
optical components (prism and lens) in
the CD player may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical
components will clear naturally in about
an hour. Wait for normal operation to
return before attempting to use the unit.

Handling the CD player

The following precautions should be
observed.

Do not use deformed or cracked CDs.

The disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.

Do not use non-conventional discs such

as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc.
The disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.

If the memory portion of the CD is

transparent or translucent, do not use the
disc.

Transparent

A new CD may have rough edges on its

inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper setting will
not be possible and the CD player will
not play the CD. In addition, the disc
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance
by using a ball-point pen or pencil
as shown in the following

¿ gure. To

remove the rough edges, rub the side of
the pen or pencil against the inner and
outer perimeter of the CD.

When driving over uneven surfaces, the

sound may jump.

5–148

Interior Features

Appendix

CDs bearing the logo shown in the

illustration can be played. No other discs
can be played.

Use discs that have been legitimately

produced. If illegally-copied discs such
as pirated discs are used, the system may
not operate properly.

Be sure never to touch the signal surface

when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD
by grasping the outer edge or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.

Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.

Avoid scratching the reverse side (the
side without a label). The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.

Dust,

¿ nger smudges, and dirt can

decrease the amount of light re

À ected

from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the CD should become
soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth
from the centre of the CD to the edge.

Do not use record sprays, antistatic

agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of
the CD and must not be used. Anything
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.

The CD player ejects the CD if the CD

is inserted upside down. Also dirty and/
or defective CDs may be ejected.

Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD

player.

Do not insert any disc with a peel-off

seal af

¿ xed to it.

This unit may not be able to play certain

CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer
or music CD recorder due to disc
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,
etc., or due to dust or condensation on
the lens inside the unit.

Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to

direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.

CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB

cannot be played.

This unit may not be able to play certain

discs made using a computer due to the
application (writing software) setting
used. (For details, consult the store
where the application was purchased.)

It is possible that certain text data, such

as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW
may not be displayed when musical data
(CD-DA) is playing.

The period from when a CD-RW is

inserted to when it begins playing is
longer than a normal CD or CD-R.

Completely read the instruction manual

and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.

Do not use discs with cellophane tape

adhering, partially peeled off labels,
or adhesive material exuding from the
edges of the CD label. Also, do not use
discs with a commercially-available
CD-R label af

¿ xed. The disc may not

eject resulting in a malfunction.
