2009 RL Protecting Your Discs
General Information
When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.
When recording a CD-R or CD-RW, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the disc changer.
Play only standard, round, 5-inch (12 cm) discs. Smaller or odd- shaped discs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.
Handle your discs properly to prevent damage and skipping.
274
Protecting Discs When a disc is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep discs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the center to the outside edge.
A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the disc, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in the disc changer.
Handle a disc by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the disc. These, along with contamination from finger prints, liquids, and felt- tip pens, can cause the disc to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.
2009 RL Additional Information on Recommended Discs The in-dash disc player/changer has a sophisticated and delicate mechanism. If you insert a damaged disc as indicated in this section, it may become stuck inside and damage the audio unit.
Examples of these discs are shown to the right:

Radio Theft Protection
Your vehicle’s audio system may disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code with the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from the five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a radio code card that lists your audio system’s code and serial numbers. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your dealer. To do this, you will need the audio system’s serial number.

If this happens, you will see ‘‘ display the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the code. The code is located on the radio code card included in your owner’s manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have 10 tries to enter the correct code.
If the code card is lost, your dealer can access your code with your radio’s serial number. To access the serial number, turn the radio on. It must display ‘‘ ’’, then turn the radio off. Push and hold the preset 1 and preset 6 buttons, then

The compass system uses the driver number (as recognized by the multi- information display) to personalize the compass system.
