Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does
not play properly or not at all. If the surface of a CD is
soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed
with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling
it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players because
the lens of the CD optics can become contaminated
by lubricants.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antennas are located under the decklid
surface in the trunk compartment. The antennas
are hidden from view and are not accessible.
If adding an aftermarket cellular telephone to your
vehicle, do not attach the antenna to the rear glass.
This would interfere with the convertible top retraction
operation and could cause damage to the
nished/painted surfaces.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
Your vehicle may have the XM™ Satellite Radio
antennas that are located in the outside rear view
mirrors. These antennas are hidden from view and
