Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
•You’re driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
•The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
•The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’tbe
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio, cassette
tapes and CDs. However, the rear seat passengers
can only control the music sources that the front seat
passengers are not listening to. For example, rear seat
passengers may listen to a cassette tape or CD through
headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through
the front speakers. The rear seat passengers have
control of the volume for each set of headphones.
Be aware that the front seat audio controls always
have priority over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch the source for the main radio to a
remote source, the RSA will play the same remote
source.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power):Push this knob twice to turn RSA off.

VOL (Volume):Press this knob lightly so it extends.
Turn the knob to increase or to decrease volume.
Push the knob back into its stored position when you’re
not using it. The upper VOL knob controls the upper
headphone and the lower VOL knob controls the lower

and FM2. If the front passengers are already listening
to the radio, the RSA controller will not switch between
the bands and cannot change the frequency. Press
this button to play a cassette tape or a compact
disc when listening to the radio. The inactive tape or CD
will remain safely inside the radio for future listening.
wSEEKx:While listening to the radio, press the up
or the down arrow to tune to the next or the previous
station and stay there. The sound will mute while seeking.

down arrow to hear the next or the previous selection.

radio is in use.
While listening to a CD, press the up arrow to hear the
next track on the CD. Press the down arrow to go back to
the start of the current track (if more than eight seconds
have played). The SEEK button is inactive if the CD mode
on the front radio is in use.
To scan stations, press and hold one of the SEEK arrows
until the radio goes into scan mode. The radio will scan to
a station, play for a few seconds, then go on to the next
station. Press SEEK again to stop scanning. The scan
