Trunk-Mounted CD Changer
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
bottom to top, placing a CD on the tray label side down.
If you load a CD label side up, the CD will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
to 12 CDs in the magazine.
3-81

Once you have loaded the CDs in the magazine, slide
open the door of the 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 left. 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 CDs in the
magazine. This will continue for up to two minutes
depending on the number of CDs loaded.
3-82

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.
Whenever a CD magazine with CDs is loaded in the
changer and the door is closed, the CD symbol
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
left corner and a CD and track number will appear on
the radio display. The CD numbers are listed on the front
of the magazine.
All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejecting the magazine.Operating the Trunk-Mounted CD

If any error message appears on the display, it could be
for one of the following reasons:

normal, the CD should play.
•You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
•The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
•The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
•There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
•The label may be caught in the CD player.
•The CD changer door is open. Completely close the
changer door to restore normal operation.
•An empty magazine is in the CD changer. Try
the magazine again with a CD loaded on one of
the trays.
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 cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
