Audio Systems
MP3 Radio System
The optional MP3 stereo system allows
you to play traditional CDs as well as
MP3 encoded discs. MP3 allows up to
50 playlists per disc and music can be
grouped in up to 50 folders. When using
MP3, the system displays the album
title, song title and artist name.
The system’s controls function like most
vehicle audio systems, while also including two MP3-specific controls:
: Press this button to go to the first
track of the previous folder.

track of the next folder.
MP3 Player Tips
•Avoid using transparent discs,
as they may cause the player to load
improperly.
• Select Mode 1 when burning a
CD-ROM (only Mode 1 discs are
compatible with this system).
•Avoid mixing standard CD audio
tracks and MP3 files on one disc,
as they may not play properly when
mixed.
• If “CHECK CD” appears on the radio
display, the disc format may not be
compatible or a label may be caught
in the CD player. For more information, refer to MP3 section in your
Owner Manual.
