If your vehicle has the CD changer, you can play up to six discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The smaller discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially designed trays.

You must first load the magazine with CDs before you can play a CD. Each of the six trays holds one CD.

Load the trays from bottom to top, placing a disc in the tray label side up. If you load a disc label side down, the disc does not play and an error occurs. Repeat this procedure for loading up to six discs in the magazine.

Once you have loaded the discs into the magazine, slide the CD changer door open. 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. When the door is closed, the changer begins checking for discs in the magazine. This continues for up to one and a half minutes, depending on the number of discs loaded. You may hear noise, but this is normal. The CD changer is initializing.

To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD changer door all the way open. Press EJECT, located inside of the changer door, and the magazine ejects. Remember to keep the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting inside the changer.

To eject CDs from the magazine, you must push the RELEASE switch on the bottom of the magazine to release the CDs.

Press the CD hard key to access the six-disc CD changer screen. You can also use the system's DVD player for single CD play once the map DVD is removed. See "CD/DVD Player" later in this section for more information.

If no CD is loaded in the CD/DVD Player and you press the CD hard key, the message "No CD loaded" displays.

CD ERROR could display for the following:

    • The road is too rough. The CD should play when the road is smoother.
    • The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or not loaded label side up.
    • The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and try again.

If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, please contact your dealer/retailer.
