SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. TOUCH SWITCH OUTLINE
(a) Touch switches are touch-sensitive (interactive) switches operated by touching the screen. When a switch is pressed, the outer film bends in to contact the inner glass at the pressed position. By doing this, the voltage ratio is measured and the pressed position is detected.
2. DISC PLAYER OUTLINE
(a) A disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a disc. By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music and audio.
CAUTION:
Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the disc player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.
NOTICE:
(b) This player can play only audio CDs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) that have any of the following marks:
(c) The following products may not be playable on your player.
(d) Precautions for use of discs

(e) Cleaning
NOTICE:
Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.
(1) If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.
NOTICE:
3. USB AUDIO SYSTEM FUNCTION OUTLINE

(a) "Bluetooth" is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
(b) "Bluetooth" is a wireless connection technology that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
HINT:
The communication performance of "Bluetooth" may vary depending on obstructions or radio wave conditions between communication devices, electromagnetic radiation, communication device sensitivity or antenna capacity.
(c) Hands-free function
(1) The "Bluetooth" built-in radio and display receiver assembly and a "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phone* can be connected using a "Bluetooth" wireless connection. This enables the use of the hands-free function on the cellular phone even if the phone is in a pocket or bag. For this reason, it is not necessary to use a connector or cable to connect the cellular phone.
*: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phones may not function properly.
(2) The hands-free function uses a "Bluetooth" wireless connection. A "Bluetooth" wireless connection can be affected by uncertain elements, such as vehicle location, time of day, etc. Therefore, problems related to establishing connection may be caused temporarily by "Bluetooth" connection conditions. It is necessary to check the frequency of occurrence, connection conditions using another cellular phone, etc. when performing diagnosis.

6. RADIO DESCRIPTION
(a) Radio frequency band
(1) Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.
(b) Service area
(1) The service areas of AM and FM broadcasts are vastly different. Sometimes an AM broadcast can be received very clearly but an FM stereo broadcast cannot. FM stereo has the smallest service area, and is prone to pick up static and other types of interference such as noise.

FM (Stereo) |
*b |
FM (Monaural) |
*c |
AM |
(c) Radio reception problems
HINT:
In addition to static, other problems such as "phasing", "multipath" and "fade out" exist. These problems are not caused by electrical noise, but by the radio signal propagation method itself.
(1) Phasing
AM broadcasts are susceptible to electrical interference and another kind of interference called phasing. Occurring only at night, phasing is the interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off the ionosphere and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.

*a |
Phasing |
*b |
Ionosphere |
(2) Multipath
Multipath is a type of interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off buildings or mountains and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.
Text in Illustration
*a |
Multipath |
(3) Fade out
Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains and other large obstructions) that deflect part of a signal, resulting in a weaker signal when the object is between the transmitter and vehicle. High frequency radio waves, such as FM broadcasts, are easily deflected by obstructions. Low frequency radio waves, such as AM broadcasts, are less likely to be deflected.

Fade out |
(d) Noise problem
Technicians must have a clear understanding about each customer's noise complaint. Use the following table to diagnose noise problems.
Radio Frequency |
Noise Occurrence Condition |
Presumable Cause |
---|---|---|
AM |
Noise occurs in a specific area |
Foreign noise |
Noise occurs when listening to an intermittent broadcast |
An identical program transmitted from multiple towers can cause noise where the signals overlap |
|
Noise occurs only at night |
Signal phasing |
|
FM |
Noise occurs while driving in a specific area |
Multipath resulting from a change in FM frequency |
7. "HD Radio" FUNCTION OUTLINE (w/ HD Radio Function)
(a) The "HD Radio" system is a radio system that broadcasts in the IBOC (In-Band On-Channel) form that the iBiquity Co. has developed. By expanding the bandwidth per channel of conventional FM/AM bands, digital audio and data signals are additionally transmitted.
"HD Radio" technology is manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corporation. U.S. and Foreign Patents. "HD Radio" and the HD and HD Radio logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corporation.
Information for the music currently being listened to is stored in the system and can be transmitted to an "iPod" connected to the system. The information transferred to the "iPod" can be used for purchasing the music through the "iTunes" music store.
8. SDARS SYSTEM FUNCTION OUTLINE (w/ SDARS System)
(a) Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) is a satellite digital radio broadcast provided by Sirius XM Radio Inc. The broadcast (pay-type) is performed through satellites and terrestrial repeater networks. Several unique channels are available, and even if a vehicle changes locations, the same information can be received without breaks. Information such as song names, broadcast station names, etc. can be received.
NOTICE:
To receive audio-visual pay-type broadcasts, the customer must enter into a pay-type contract with XM Satellite Radio Inc. After entering into a contract, registration of the XM Radio ID is necessary. Also, if parts are replaced, the XM Radio ID must be re-registered.
HINT:
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, the broadcast station logo data will be initialized. It takes a while for the broadcast station logo data to be updated to the latest one.
9. VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION OUTLINE
(a) Customization of functions can also be customized on the multi-display screen. Refer to Owner's Manual for further information on customizable items for the audio and visual system.
HINT:
10. AUTOMATIC SOUND LEVELIZER (ASL) FUNCTION OUTLINE
(a) The Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) function automatically adjusts the audio system volume level in order to compensate for increased vehicle noise (vehicle noise tends to increase as vehicle speed increases). The ASL adjusts the volume level based upon vehicle speed signals sent from the combination meter assembly.
11. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
(a) CAN Communication Outline
(1) The audio and visual system uses CAN communication between the radio and display receiver assembly and ECUs.
(b) LVDS Communication Outline (w/ SDARS System)
(1) The audio and visual system uses LVDS communication between the radio and display receiver assembly and stereo component tuner assembly.
(2) If a short or open occurs in the LVDS communication line, communication is interrupted and the system will not operate normally.
