If the arrows do not go on at all when you signal a turn,
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on

If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your GM dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to
your GM dealer when reporting the problem.
Trunk-Mounted CD Changer
If your vehicle has the CD changer, you can play up to
12 CDs continuously. Normal size CDs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The
small 3 inch (8 cm) CDs can be played only with
specially designed trays.
Notice:Placing heavy objects, which may shift or
slide while driving, in the trunk could damage
the CD changer. If your vehicle has the optional CD
changer, do not put heavy objects in the trunk.You must rst load the magazine with CDs before you
can play a CD. Each of the 12 trays holds one CD. Slide
the button on the top of the magazine and pull gently
on one of the trays. Load the trays from top to bottom,
placing a CD on the tray label side up. If you load a
CD label side down, the CD will not play and an error
will occur. Gently push the tray back into the magazine
slot until it locks into place. Repeat this procedure
for loading up to 12 CDs in the magazine.
