Precautions for USB Play (Please read the following carefully before playing USB):
• If you have already started the engine, be careful to keep the connection status of the connected USB device. Starting the engine with the USB
device connected can cause the USB device damage.
• When you start or shut off the engine with the USB device connected, the USB device may have no response.
• The file format other than MP3, WMA and other standard formats may not be played.
• When MP3 document compression ratio is 8 Kbps~320 Kbps, MP3 can played. When WMA document compression ratio is 8 Kbps~320 Kbps,
WMA document can played
• When a USB device is connected, it may not be recognized due to its state sometimes.
• Only FAT 6/32 files can be read by the USB device.
• The USB device may not be used in your vehicle due to compatibility problems. Therefore, be sure to check it for compatibility before playing.
• Prevent your body or other object from touching the connection of the USB device.
• Connecting or disconnecting the USB device repeatedly in a short time can cause damage to the USB device.
• Pulling out the USB device suddenly when its files are being played can cause damage to the USB device or abnormality. Therefore, turn off
the audio system before pulling out the USB device, or pull out it in other mode.
• Recognizing the connection of the USB device depends on its type, memory or files.
• Heating caused by charging with the USB port may reduce the product performance or cause a trouble.
• General USB HUB or extension cable can cause the USB device cannot be recognized. Therefore, connect the USB device to the USB port
directly.

Your vehicle’s tires have wear indicators (1.6

mm deep) molded into the tread. Generally,
you can see the tread wear indicator in six or
eight places around the tire, depending on the
tire brand. In addition, several marks (e.g.,
“TWI” or other symbols used to indicate the
places of the wear indicators) are found on the
sidewall of the tire. If the tire wears down to the
tread depth of 1.6 m, replace the tire.
