Audio System
Operating the CD Changer
(Optional)
A 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 the instructions 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. 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 FM or
AM 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.
