Radio with Six-Disc CD
Radio with CD and DVD
The vehicle has one of these radios as its audio system.
Radios with CD and DVD
Radios with CD and DVD have a Bose® Surround Sound System. Some of its features
are explained later in this section under, "Adjusting the Speakers (Balance/Fade)".
If the vehicle has a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, it has a CD/DVD radio.
See
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
for
more information on the vehicle's RSE system.
The DVD player is the top slot on the radio faceplate. The player is capable
of reading the DTS programmed DVD Audio or DVD Video media, (DTS and DTS Digital Surround
are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.).
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and the double-D symbol
are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). The RDS feature is available
for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon
receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information
is available. While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call
letters displays. In rare cases, a radio station could broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
Playing the Radio
(Power/Volume): Press to turn the system
on and off.
Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the volume.
Noise Compensation Technology: The vehicle has a Bose® Audio
System. It includes Bose AudioPilot® noise compensation technology. When turned
on, AudioPilot® continuously adjusts the audio system equalization, to compensate
for background noise, so that music always sounds the same at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio volume settings where background
noise can affect how well the music is heard. At higher volume settings, where the
music is much louder than the background noise, there might be little or no adjustments
by AudioPilot®.
To activate:
- Set the radio volume to the desired level.
- Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.
- Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOLUM label on the radio display.
- Press the pushbutton under the ON label. The display times out after approximately
10 seconds.
For additional information on AudioPilot®, please visit www.bose.com/audiopilot.

To insert one CD, do the following:
- Press and release the LOAD
button, Load Disc
and then Insert Disc 1 displays.
- Insert the CD partway into the slot, label side up. Loading Disc 1
displays as the disc is being pulled into the player.

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player it stays in the
player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts to play where it stopped,
if it was the last selected audio source.
When the CD is inserted, the CD symbol displays. As each new track starts to
play, the track number displays.
Playing a CD (In Either the DVD or CD Slot)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and
the CD should begin playing (loading a disc into the system, depending on media type
and format ranges from 5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30 seconds
for a DVD to begin playing).
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in the player, it stays in
the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source. The CD is controlled by the buttons
on the radio faceplate or by the RSA unit. See
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
for more information. The DVD/CD decks, (upper slot is the
DVD deck and the lower slot is the CD deck) of the radio are compatible with most
audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3s.
When a CD is inserted, the text label DVD or CD symbol displays on the left
side of the radio display. As each new track starts to play, the track number displays.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter
ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
Care of CDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality,
the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s)
in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and
dust. The CD or DVD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly
or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole
and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make
sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD or DVD player. If
a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling
the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating
the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD and DVD player mechanism.
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 an error displays, see "CD Messages" later in this section.
