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't be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.Navigation/Radio System (Option)

Your vehicle may have an AM-FM radio navigation
radio system that includes a Radio Data System (RDS)
with program type selections (PTY) that will seek out
the kind of music you want to listen to. The radio
system can also communicate with your navigation
system to broadcast announcements on traffic and
emergency alert communications. For information on
how to use this system, see the ªNavigation/Radio
Systemº supplement.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.
