Operatin g th e Optiona l C D
Change r
A trunk-mounted Compact Disc changer is available for your vehicle.
It holds up to six discs, providing
several hours of continuous entertainment. You operate this CD
changer with the same controls used
for the in-dash CD player.
Load the desired CDs in the
magazine and load the magazine in the changer according to theinstructions that came with the unit.
Play only standard round discs. Odd-
shaped CDs may jam in the drive or
cause other problems.
To select the CD changer, press the
CD button. The disc and track
numbers will be displayed. A "0" will flash for the track number as the CD
is loaded, then it will change to a
non-flashing "1".
To select a different disc, press the
appropriate preset button (1 — 6). If
you select an empty slot in the
magazine, the changer will, after
finding that slot empty, try to load the CD in the next slot. This
continues until it finds a CD to load
and play.
If you load a CD in the in-dash player
while the changer is playing a CD, the system will stop the changer and
begin playing the in-dash CD. To select the changer again, press the
CD button. Play will begin where it
left off. Use the CD button to switch
between the player and the changer.
If you eject the in-dash CD while it is
playing, the system will automatically
switch to the CD changer and begin
play where it left off. If there are no
CDs in the changer, the display will
flash. You will have to select another mode (AM or FM) with the button. When you switch back to CD mode,
the system selects the same unit (in-
dash or changer) that was playing
when you switched out of CD mode.
To use the SKIP, REPEAT, and
RANDOM functions, refer to the in-
dash player operating instructions.
