to indicate the direction of the turn or lane change
(See ªHead

more information).
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal
a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete.
The lever will return by itself when you release it.
If the arrows flash very fast as you signal a turn or a lane
change, a signal bulb may be burned out and other

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and for burned
-out bulbs.

(HUD), an arrow will also appear in the display area to
indicate the high beams are on (See ªHead
-Up Display
(HUD)º in Index for more information).
Flash-To-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to
signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are off.

flash
-to-pass.

3-32 Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (Option)
With the optional compact disc changer, you can play up
to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine.You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. 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 disc on the tray label side up. If you load
a disc with the label side down, the disc 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 discs in the magazine.
Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide
open the door of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push
the magazine into the changer in the direction of the
arrow marked on top of the magazine.
Close the door by sliding it all the way to the right.
If the door is left partially open, the changer will not
operate and an error will occur. When the door is closed,
the changer will begin checking for discs in the
magazine. This will continue for up to two minutes
depending on the number of discs loaded.

To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.
All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejecting the magazine. Whenever a
CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer and the
door is closed, CHNGR will appear on the radio display.
If the CD changer is checking the magazine for CDs,
CHNGR will flash on the display until the changer is
ready to play. When a CD begins playing, the disc and
track number will be displayed. The disc numbers are
listed on the front of the magazine.Compact Disc Changer Errors
If E and a number appear on the display, an error
has occurred.
If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
compact disc player or changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:
E30: The road is too rough. The disc should play
when the road is smoother.
E30: The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
E30: The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
E34: The CD changer door is open. The CD changer
will continue to play. However, completely closing
the door is recommended.
E35: An empty magazine is inserted in the CD
changer. Try the magazine again with a disc loaded
on one of the trays.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number other than the error codes
listed previously, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
