Playing a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in. The CD should begin playing. CD
and the CD symbol will appear on the display. If
you want to insert a CD with the ignition off, first press
the EJECT or the RECALL button.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD will start playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 8 cm single CDs
with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs
are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
Do not play 3 inch CDs without a standard adapter CD.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.

If your vehicle has the CD changer it is located in the
rear center storage compartment. SeeRear Storage
Area on page 2-42for more information.
With the trunk-mounted CD changer you can play up to
12 CDs continuously. Normal size CDs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The
smaller 3 inch (8 cm) CDs can be played only with
specially designed trays.
Notice:Heavy objects in the center storage area
which may shift or slide while driving could damage
your CD changer. Protect your CD changer by not
placing heavy, moveable objects in the center
storage area.
You must first load the magazine with CDs before you
can play a CD. Each of the 12 trays holds one CD.
Press the button on the back of the magazine and pull
gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from

will appear on the radio display. If the CD changer is
checking the magazine for CDs, the CD symbol will flash
on the radio display until the changer is ready to play.
When a CD begins playing, CD will appear in the bottom
