Introduction

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle and its equipment? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.

Warning symbols on your vehicle

When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

Protecting the environment

We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust themselves to other parts.

Drive your new vehicle at least 800 km (500 miles) before towing a trailer.

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand kilometers (miles) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Check engine: The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.

CHECK

ENGINE

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap: Illuminates when the fuel cap may not be properly installed. Continued driving with this light on may cause the Check Engine warning light to come on, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

CAP

Instrument Cluster

Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or a failure to brake proportioning and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your servicing dealership.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is

dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer immediately.

Anti-lock brake system: If the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a malfunction has been detected; have the system serviced immediately. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is illuminated.

Air bag readiness: If this light fails to illuminate when ignition is turned to ON, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system has been detected.

Safety belt: Reminds you to fasten your safety belt. A chime will also sound to remind you to fasten your safety belt.

MP3 FUNCTIONS

Your audio system is equipped with MP3 capability which allows you to listen to songs in MP3 flat file mode and MP3 directory mode.

To engage MP3 flat file mode, insert an MP3 disc. If an MP3 disc is already present in the player, press the CD control. The MP3 icon will display while the player is in MP3 mode.

While in MP3 flat file mode, press the MP3 DIR control to enter into MP3 directory mode. The MP3 icon and the DIR icon will display while the player is in directory mode.

Your MACH威 MP3 player is also equipped with an anti-shock buffer for MP3 discs.

MP3 FILE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

The MACH威 MP3 music system recognizes MP3 disc file and directory (folder) structure as follows:

• There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3 directory mode.

• MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure present on the MP3 disc. The player sequentially numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.

/ to

Entertainment Systems

• MP3 directory mode represents a directory structure consisting of one level of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3 extension) and all directories containing MP3 files, from 01–01 to 99–99. The first two digits denote the directory number and the last two digits denote the track number within that directory.

• Creating discs with only one level of subdirectories will help with navigation through the disc files.

ERROR MESSAGES

You may experience an error message for the following situations:

• NO DISC when the CD control is pressed and there is not a CD present.

• DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadable disc. Such as, data discs containing no .mp3 files, or for data discs containing more than 255 files or directories.

• CD ERR for any other disc malfunction.

SAMPLE HIERARCHIES

If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand how the MACH威 MP3 music system will read the hierarchies you create. This is an example of creating a directory structure that is one level deep with various types of music. While various files are present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension will be played. Other files will be ignored by the system. This enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work computer, home computer and your MACH威 MP3 music system.

Entertainment Systems

This hierarchy is an example of a more complex directory structure. While you are capable of setting up many directory levels when burning a CD, the MACH威 MP3 music system will display the structure as if it were only one level deep. Therefore, the system will condense the complex hierarchy into a structure similar to the one-level-deep example above. This will not harm the MP3 disc and will not change the hierarchy that is actually written on the disc. Only mp3 files will be played, files with other extensions will be skipped.
