Radio Data System (RDS)

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.

With RDS, the radio can do the following:

This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast incorrect information that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station name or call letters display instead of the frequency. RDS stations can also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the program being broadcast.

Playing a CD

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.

When a CD is inserted, the CD symbol appears on the CD. 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.

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. There can be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see Care of Your CDs for more information.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD 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.

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.

LOAD: Press the LOAD button to load CDs into the CD player. This CD player holds up to six CDs.

To insert one CD, do the following:

4. Load a CD. Insert the CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls the CD in.

To insert multiple CDs, do the following:

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press and hold the LOAD button for two seconds.

A beep sounds and MULTI LOAD CD displays, then INSERT CD and the number displays.

3. Once INSERT CD and the number displays, load a CD. Insert the CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls the CD in.

Once the CD is loaded, INSERT CD and the number displays again. Once INSERT CD and the number displays again, you can load another CD. The CD player takes up to six CDs. Do not try to load more than six.

To load more than one CD but less than six, complete Steps 1 through 3. When finished loading CDs, the radio begins to play the last CD loaded.

If more than one CD has been loaded, a number for each CD is displayed and the currently selected slot number is underlined.

EJECT/ : To eject a single CD press the EJECT/ button. The radio displays EJECTING CD # and the single CD symbol flashes until the CD is ready to be removed. When the CD is ready to be removed it ejects part way from the radio and the display changes to a flashing REMOVE CD # with the single CD symbol flashing until the CD is removed. If the CD is not removed within 25 seconds the radio pulls it back in. To eject multiple CDs, press and hold the EJECT/ button until a beep sounds and EJECTING ALL CDS displays with the single CD symbol flashing. The CD symbol flashes until a CD is ready to be removed. When the CD is ready to be removed it ejects part way from the radio and the display changes to a flashing REMOVE CD # with the single CD symbol flashing until the CD is removed. If the CD is not removed within 25 seconds the radio pulls it back in. After the CD is removed the radio repeats the previous actions until all of the CDs have been removed or a CD is pulled back in.
