Playing a Compact Disc
With the radio on, insert a disc into the CD slot, label
side up. The player will pull it in. The disc should begin
playing. A CD symbol is shown in the center of the
graphic display whenever a disc is inserted.
Don't use the smaller discs (three
-inch singles). They
won't eject. Use full
-size compact discs.If you're driving on a very rough road or if it's very hot,
the disc may not play and Err (error) may appear on the
display. Press RECALL to take Err off the display.
When things get back to normal, the disc should play. If
the disc comes out, it could be that:
The disc is upside down. The player will not pull the
disc in.
It is dirty, scratched or wet.
It is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour and
try again.)
While the CD is playing, use the VOLUME, FADE,
BAL, TREB, BASS and TONE controls just as you do
for the radio. The CD player automatically begins
playing again when it reaches the end of the disc.
A disc that has been ejected but is still sitting in the
remote CD player will be pulled back into the player
after approximately 30 seconds. This protects the disc
and player from damage. The disc will not start playing.
To remove the disc, press the EJECT button and remove
the disc from the player.
REV (TUNE): Press and hold the left arrows to reverse
rapidly within a track. Release it to resume playing.

Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in
spurts
-- heavy acceleration followed by heavy
braking
-- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This
is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool
between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much
faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace
with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,
you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That
means better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you're driving, brake
normally but don't pump your brakes. If you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes (Option)
Your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes (ABS). ABS is
an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
If your vehicle has anti-lock
brakes, this warning light on
the instrument panel will
come on briefly when you
start your vehicle.
When you start your engine, or when you begin to drive
away, your anti
-lock brake system will check itself. You
may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while
this test is going on, and you may even notice that your
brake pedal moves or pulses a little. This is normal.
If there's a problem with the anti
-lock brake system, the
anti
-lock brake system warning light will stay on. See
ªAnti
-Lock Brake System Warning Lightº in the Index.
