With the compact disc changer, you can play up to twelve 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: Placing heavy objects, which may shift or slide while driving, in the trunk could damage the CD changer. If your vehicle has the optional CD changer, do not put heavy objects in the trunk.

You must first load the magazines with discs before you can play a compact disc. Each of the twelve trays holds one disc. The disc numbers are listed on the front of the magazine. Slide the button on the back of the magazine and pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from top to bottom, placing a disc in the tray label side up. If you load a disc 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 twelve 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 Navigation System hard keys, except for ejecting the magazine. Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer, the CD Changer screen will be available on the radio display by pressing the CD hard key. When a CD begins playing, a disc and track number will be displayed.

If you have both a single CD and a CD magazine loaded, you may switch between them by pressing the CD hard key.
