radio, cassette tape player and compact disc player with
changer) with the rear seat audio system when a cassette tape
and a compact disc are loaded in the front audio system.

systems at the same time, the system can be operated on the
front audio system.

systems at the same time, AM and FM modes cannot be
changed on the rear seat audio system.
