Audio System

Operating the CD Player
You operate the CD player with the same controls used for the radio.
With the system on, insert the disc into the CD slot. Push the disc in
halfway, the drive will pull it in the
rest of the way and begin to play.
The number of the track that is playing is shown in the display.
You can also play 3-inch (8-cm) discs
without using an adapter ring. In all cases, play only standard round discs.Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the
drive or cause other problems.
When the system reaches the end of the disc, it will return to the begin-ning and play that disc again.
You can switch to the radio while a CD is playing by pressing the AM/
FM1-2 button. Press the CD button
to return to playing the CD. The CD
will begin playing where it left off.

time you turn on the radio you will see "Code" in the frequency display.Use the Preset buttons to enter the
five-digit code (see page 117).

Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your vehicle's electronic controls. Detach
the battery cables before connecting
the battery to a charger.

Charging System Indicator

CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR
This indicator should come on when the ignition switch is ON (II), and goout after the engine starts. If it
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, it indicates that the
charging system has stopped
charging the battery. Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C, rear
defogger, cruise control, etc. Try not
to use other electrically-operated controls such as the power windows.
Keep the engine running and take
extra care not to stall it. Starting the
engine will discharge the battery
rapidly. By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles (kilometers)
before the battery is too discharged to keep the engine running. Drive to
a service station or garage where
you can get technical assistance.
