3-27 Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (Option)
With the compact disc changer, you can play up to
12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine.
The smaller discs (8 cm) can be played only with
specially designed trays.
NOTICE:
Objects in the trunk which may shift or slide
during driving could damage your CD changer.
Protect your CD changer by using the convenience
net whenever possible. Place large objects in the
trunk appropriately so that they will not come into
contact with the CD changer.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. Press the button on the back of the magazine and
pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from
bottom to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down.
If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
to 12 discs in the magazine.

side up.

The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.

3-31 Radio Personalization with Home and
Away Feature (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.
This feature allows the driver to return to the last used
audio source (radio, cassette or CD) using their remote
keyless entry transmitter. This feature can also store
and recall AM and FM presets, volume, tone and the
last selected radio station. The number on the back of
each transmitter (1 or 2) corresponds to driver 1 or 2.
If transmitter 1 is used to enter the vehicle, the last
used audio source and/or settings set by driver 1 will be
recalled. If transmitter 2 is used to enter the vehicle, the
last used audio source and/or settings set by driver 2 will
be recalled. The settings can also be recalled by 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. With the
radio off and the clock displayed, use fast forward andreverse to select home or away presets. To select the
away presets, press and hold FF for five seconds until
you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on,
the away presets will be active. To select the home
presets, press and hold RW or REV for five seconds
until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on,
the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets because
the radio remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio presets.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK
is designed to discourage theft of
your radio. Your vehicle has a ªbuilt
-inº theft-deterrent
feature on each radio that is automatic
-- there is
no programming required. The radio in your vehicle
cannot be used in any other vehicle. When the radio
was originally installed in your vehicle at the factory,
it stored the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Each time the ignition is turned on, the VIN is verified.
If the vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored in
the radio, THEFTLOCK will be activated and the audio
system will not play. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to
trace the radio back to your vehicle.

3-32 Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering
wheel. They include the following:
VOLUME : Push the
lever up or down to increase
or decrease volume.
SELECT: When listening to the radio, push the lever
up or down to tune to the next or previous preset radio
station. (If your vehicle is equipped with the AM
-FM
Stereo with Cassette Tape Player, factory presets which
have not been reprogrammed with your stations will be
ignored). When listening to a cassette tape, the SELECT
lever can be used to SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing the SELECT lever when
listening to a CD will cause the player to go to the next
or previous track. When in Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type
(PTY) mode, the SELECT lever can be used to perform
a PTY preset seek. PSEEK will appear on the display
while the PTY preset seek is performed. The radio will
seek all of the PTYs stored in presets, except for the
PTY Any.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
Weather Band (If Equipped)
Weather band is restricted to speech and the audio
quality is not as good as with the AM or FM bands.
Depending on location, the radio should receive
one or two channels.
