3-24 Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (Option)
If your vehicle has the optional trunk-mounted
CD changer it is located in the rear center storage
compartment. See ªRear Storage Compartmentsº in
the Index for more information.
With the trunk
-mounted CD changer you can play up to
12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played
using the trays supplied in the magazine. The small discs
(8 cm) 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 discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. 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 disc on the tray label side down.
If you load a disc label side up, the disc 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 discs in the magazine.

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 discs is loaded in the
changer, the compact disc symbol will appear on the
radio display. If the CD changer is checking the magazine
for CDs, the compact disc symbol will flash on the
display until the changer is ready to play. When a CD
begins playing, CD will appear in the bottom left corner
and a disc and track number will be displayed. The disc
numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.
All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
pushbuttons except for ejecting the magazine.Operating the Trunk-Mounted CD Changer with
