Title forward/backward
If the "joystick " is pressed to right the next CD title is skipped. Pressing to left within the first 10 s of
playback causes jumping to the previous title, otherwise to the beginning of the title presently being
played. If the" joystick " is held to left or right the changer jumps from one title to the next within short
time intervals without playing them.
Fast forward/rewind (music search)
If the "joystick " is pressed up or down the titles are played quickly. This allows specific parts of a title to
be played or skipped. When the start or end of the CD is reached the search is interrupted.
Title repetition and random playback
Random playback can be activated/deactivated with the multifunction " RDM " key. When activated this
function is indicated on the display and random playback can then be selected. The random playback
feature affects only the CD presently being played back. Title repetition can be activated/ deactivated
with the multifunction " RPT key. The title presently selected is repeated until the function is deactivated.
The random playback and title repetition remain active, even when the radio and navigation module
(A2/56) is switched off and switched back on again. Actuating these two functions simultaneously is not
possible.
Pause
The multifunction key" II "(Pause ) interrupts the title presently being played. Pressing again continues
playback.
Direct title selection
Pressing the " *" button followed by entry of the desired title via the number block allows direct selection
of the title.
Multifunction key Time
By pressing the multifunction key" Time " it is possible to change between 2 different display modes:
Display of title number and previous playback time of title (standard setting)
Number of titles and entire playback time of CD ("Time appears on display).
CD title assignment, function
Each CD has a permanently stored, so-called T able of C ontents (TOC ) entry. The radio and navigation
module (A2/56) recognizes the CD clearly on the basis of this entry and can automatically designate it (even
when the CD is then inserted into another CD ma
gazine) after the title has been assigned once by the user.

The laser-optical device scans the non-labeled side of the rotating CDwithout making contact and converts the
digital optical signals into electrical signals. Small interruptions in the data flow of the laser optics caused by
scratches or contamination on the audio CD are compensated by the D/A converter supplementing the missing
values .
The electrical signals are then decoded in the CD player with changer (in trunk) (A2/6) and transmitted via
the digital data bus ( D2B ) to the radio and navigation module (A2/56) via the audio signal processing or
when the sound amplifier (A2/13) (code 810) is installed to the loudspeakers.
Jumps and interruptions during playback
On bad roads or in the event of heavy vibrations , jumps and interruptions can occur during playback. In
such cases do not start CD mode until better road conditions are present.
In the event of wet weather conditions and strong deviations in the ambient temperatures moisture can collect in
the CD player housing (condensation formation). This could also lead to malfunctions in the playback. In such
cases provide for sufficient ventilation of the CD player and the trunk.

Fig. 106: Identifying Electromagnetic Clutch (A9K1) Components
Function
In order to start operating the refrigerant compressor, the push-button control module (N19, N22) actuates the
electromagnetic clutch (A9k1) and the solenoid (5) is supplied with electrical current. The magnetic force
attracts the pressure plate (6) against the rubber insert (7) and holds it securely. This creates the frictional
connection between the automotive engine and the refrigerant compressor. If the solenoid (5) is de-energized,
then the pressure plate (6) is pressed back by the rubber insert (7) into its rest position and the frictional
connection is interrupted.
Safety shutoff of the refrigerant compressor
To prevent a mechanical defect in the refrigerant compressor from causing the poly V-belt to jump loose, the
electromagnetic clutch releases itself automatically. With a mechanical defect, the refrigerant compressor
rotates more sluggishly or even locks completely. The heat generated at the friction surface causes the melting
fuse (2) in the solenoid (5) to melt. The current supply to the solenoid (5) is interrupted and the frictional
connection is released.
ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH, LOCATION - GF83.55-P-2101-02GH
The electromagnetic clutch (A9k1) is located on the drive shaft of the refrigerant compressor (A9) at the front
left in the en
gine compartment.
