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.
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.
Protecting Your Discs
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.

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 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.

System Initialization If for any reason, you lose power to the compass system (the battery was disconnected), the system needs to be initialized before you can use it.
Initialization requires this:
Entry of the compass system 4- digit security code to ‘‘unlock’’ the system.
GPS initialization. This may not be needed depending on how long the system was without power.
Compass System (U.S. model without navigation system)
EnteringtheSecurityCode
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code into both the audio system and the compass system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards that have the audio and compass system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe
place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit compass system security code. If you have entered it correctly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen chances to enter the correct code. If all ten are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have ten more chances to enter the correct code.

If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with ‘‘Pardon,’’ ‘‘Please repeat,’’ or ‘‘Would you say again.’’ If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
When you speak a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. See the Recognition Feedback Setup.
