Audio System

Operating the CD Player
(Optional)
A Compact Disc changer is available for your car. It holds up to six discs,
providing several hours of continu-ous programming. You operate the
CD changer with the same controls
used for the radio and cassette
player.
Load the desired CD's in the
magazine and load the magazine in
the changer according to the
instructions that came with the unit.
Your dealer has Genuine Honda accessory in-dash CD players
available that are operated by the
radio controls. If you have one of
these units, use the directions in this section (except for multi-disc
selection) to operate it. To operate the CD changer, the
ignition key must be in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II). If you are listening to
a cassette tape, eject it before
playing a CD.
Press the CD button until "CD" appears on the display. Once in the
CD mode, the system will start to
play the first track of the first disc in the magazine.
When that disc ends, the next disc in the magazine is loaded and played.
After disc 6 has completed, the system will return to disc 1. To make
your own disc selection, push one of the six preset buttons. Your selection
will appear in the display and start
playing.
U.S. EX model

You can use the TUNE/SEEK switch while a disc is playing to
select passages and change tracks.
To move rapidly forward within a track, push up and hold the TUNE/SEEK switch. Push down and hold
the switch to move rapidly backward
within a track. You will hear a beep a
half second after you push the switch up or down. Keep pushing the
switch until you think the track has
advanced or returned to the desired
position. The disc will start playing
when you release the switch.
If you push the TUNE/SEEK switch
up and release it before you hear a
beep, the system will skip forward to the beginning of the next track on
that CD.
It will skip backward to the begin-
ning of the current track if you push
the switch down and release it.

Battery

If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the car's electri-
cal system.
On the U.S. EX model

If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system will
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the radio you will see "Code" in
the frequency display. Use the
Preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (see page 106).
Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your
car's electronic controls. Detach the

battery cables before connecting the

battery to a charger.

Maintenance

The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery
maintenance.

Charging System Indication

The charging system indicator should go out after the engine starts.If it comes on brightly with the
engine running, the alternator is no
longer charging the battery. Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C, rear defogger, cruise control, etc. Try not
to use other electrically-operated controls such as the power windows.
Keep the engine running and take
extra care not to stall it. Starting theengine will discharge the battery
rapidly. By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles before the
battery is too discharged to keep the
engine running. Drive to a service station or garage where you can get
technical assistance.
