3. Turn the magazine (A) over. 4. Using the disc holder release knob (C), pull the disc holder (B) out of the magazine.

77

Controls and features

If you pull too hard on the disc holder, the disc holder may come completely out of the magazine. If this happens, reinsert the disc holder back into the magazine while pressing on the lever (A). 5. Line up the CD with the groove of the disc holder. Ensure that the label on the CD faces downwards. 6. Press in on the disc holder until it locks securely into the magazine. If the disc holders are not fully locked into the magazine, the unit will not operate.

Ensure that the disc holder is evenly inserted and at the same level as the magazine (A). The unit will not operate if the disc holder is not inserted at the same level (B).

Radio power must be turned on to play the CDs in the changer. The magazine may be stored in the glove box when not being used.

78

Controls and features

The CD magazine may be inserted or ejected with the radio power off. ONLY use the magazine supplied with the CD changer, other types will damage the unit. Keep the CD changer door closed. Coins and foreign objects will damage the CD player and void your audio system warranty. Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD player as jamming may occur.

Troubleshooting the CD changer (if equipped)

The laser beam used in the compact disc player is harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the case.

If sound skips: † You may be traveling on a rough road, playing badly scratched discs or

the disc may be dirty. Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the player.

If your changer does not work, it may be that: † A disc is already loaded where you want to insert a disc. † The disc is inserted with the label surface downward. † The disc is dusty or defective. † The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C (140°F).

Cleaning compact discs Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge. Do not use circular motion.

CD and CD changer care † Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface. † Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

Controls and features † Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD player as jamming may occur.

Cleaning cassette player (if equipped) Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.

Cassette and cassette player care † Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less. † Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or

extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing. † Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole † Remove loose labels before inserting tapes. † Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not

Radio frequency information The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are: AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area. Radioreceptionfactors Three factors can affect radio reception: † Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.

80

Controls and features

† Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

† Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

If you drive up or down a steep hill, your vehicle speed may vary momentarily slower or faster than the set speed. This is normal. Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it increases above the set speed on a downhill. If your vehicle speed is faster than the set speed while driving on a downhill, you may want to shift to the next lower gear or apply the brakes to reduce your vehicle speed. If your vehicle slows down more than 16 km/h (10 mph) below your set speed on an uphill, your speed control will disengage. This is normal. Pressing RES/RSM/RESUME will re-engage it.

Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, slippery, or unpaved.
