discs continuously.
Normal size discs may be played
using the slots supplied in the magazine.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you

top, placing a disc in the magazine label side up. If you
load a disc label side down, the disc will not play and an

the magazine into the changer in the direction of the

continue
for up to one minute, depending on the

To eject the magazine from the player, slide the
CD changer door all the way open, then press the
eject button. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from
getting inside the changer.

the radio display. If the CD changer is checking the
magazine for CDs, the CD symbol will flash on the
display until the changer is ready to play. When a
CD begins playing, a disc and track number will be
displayed. The disc numbers are listed on the front of

Radio Personalization (If Equipped)
If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or
DRIVER
2 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the
display when the radio is first turned on, your vehicle is
equipped with this feature.
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which RKE
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. The radio settings
will automatically adjust to where they were last set
by
the identified driver. The settings can also be recalled by
briefly pressing the MEMORY seat buttons
1 or 2
located on the driver’s door.
Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and away presets allow you to use one set of preset
radio settings in the area where you live, and another set when you go
out of town. That way, you will not
need to reprogram your presets every time you travel.
