ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

You may either load or eject CD's with the radio and ignition OFF using the procedure above.

If the CD player is empty, while the ignition is in the ACCY. or RUN position, if a CD is inserted into the CD slot it will automatically be loaded into one of the 6 positions. This will only occur for the first CD loaded into an empty CD player.

If you load a CD with the ignition ON and the radio OFF, the display will show the time of day. If you load a CD with the ignition OFF, the display will show the time of day for about 5 seconds, then go out.

If you load a CD with the ignition ON and the radio ON, the unit will switch from radio mode to CD mode and begin to play the CD being loaded. The display will show the CD number, the track number, and index time in minutes and seconds. Play will begin at the start of track 1.

If you have ejected a CD and have not removed it from the CD slot within 15 seconds, it will be reloaded. If the CD is reloaded, the radio will begin to play the reloaded CD.

If the CD is removed from the CD slot and there are other CD's in the radio, the radio will play the next CD. If the CD is removed and there are no other CD's in the radio, the radio will return to AM or FM mode whichever was previously in use.
