The CD changer plays up to six standard size CDs continuously. Individual CDs may be loaded or ejected into or from any position.
An amber light on each numbered button indicates a CD is loaded in the respective position. A green light on a numbered button indicates that a CD is playing. When loading CDs, the loading slot indicators turn green to indicate that the player is ready to accept a CD. CDs can be loaded or ejected with the radio or the ignition off.
You must load CDs with the label side up. If you do not, the player will automatically eject the CDs.
Notice: Loading CDs with adhesive labels will damage the player.
To load a CD, perform the following steps:
- Press the LOAD button. Available positions will blink green.
- Select a position by pressing the numbered button with the green blinking light. If a button is not pressed within five seconds, the changer will go to the lowest available position.
- Load the CD when the loading slot indicators turn green. An internal door will open allowing a single CD to be inserted into the changer. After approximately 10 seconds the changer will be ready to play.
To load two or more CDs, perform the following steps:
- Press and hold the LOAD button. The first CD will be loaded into the lowest numbered empty position.
- Load a single CD when the loading slot indicators turn green. After about 10 seconds the changer will cycle to the next available position.
- Repeat Step 2 until all CDs are loaded into all of the desired positions. If you do not wish to load all of the positions, cancel loading by pressing and releasing the load button or wait 25 seconds for the changer to time out.
To eject a single CD, perform the following steps:
- Press the eject button (upward pointing arrow). The buttons with loaded CDs will blink green.
- Press one of the green blinking buttons to select the location of the CD you want to eject. The changer will move to that location and eject the CD. If you do not remove the CD from the player within 25 seconds, it will be reloaded. If the eject button is pressed and a numbered location button is not pressed within five seconds, the current or last played CD will be ejected.
To eject all CDs, press and hold the eject button.
To play a CD, perform one of the following:
| • | With the radio on, press the numbered button with an amber indicator light on the CD changer. |
| • | Press the TAPE CD button on the radio. The CD changer will go to its last played position. |

CD Changer Errors
CHK CD (Check): If this message appears on the display, it could be for one of the following reasons:| • | It is very hot. When the temperature returns to 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 player is very hot. |
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
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 GM dealer. If the radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your GM dealer when reporting the problem.
