CD Player

For vehicles equipped with the MyLink or IntelliLink infotainment system, see the separate MyLink/IntelliLink Features and Functions Guide for more information.

The player can be used for CD and MP3s.

With the ignition on, insert a CD into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and begins playing.

The vehicle must be in P (Park) for video to display.

The system is capable of playing:
• Most audio CDs
• CD-R
• CD-RW
• MP3 or unprotected WMA formats

When playing any compatible recordable disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music or video that has been recorded, or the way the disc has been handled.

To avoid damage to the CD player:
• Do not use scratched or damaged discs
• Do not apply labels to discs. The labels could get caught in the player.
• Insert only one disc at a time.
• Keep the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids and debris.

If a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the disc using a marking pen.

Loading and Ejecting Discs

To load a disc:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Insert a disc into the slot. The player pulls it in the rest of the way. If the disc is damaged or improperly loaded, there is an error and the disc ejects.

The disc automatically plays once loaded.

Press to eject a disc from the CD player.

Error Messages

If Disc Read Error displays and/or the disc comes out, it could be for one of the following reasons:

• The disc has an invalid or unknown format.

• The disc is not from a correct region.

• The disc is very hot. Try the disc again when the temperature returns to normal.

• The road is very rough. Try the disc again when the road is smoother.

• The disc is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.

• The air is very humid. Try the disc again later.

• There was a problem while burning the disc.

CD/DVD Player

The CD/DVD player can play CDs, DVD-As, MP3/WMA CDs, MP3/WMA DVDs, and DVD-Vs.

The CD/DVD player will not play 8 cm (3 in) discs.

Care of CDs and DVDs

Sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, recording method, quality of the music recorded, and how the disc has been handled.

Handle discs carefully and store them in their original cases or other protective cases away from direct sunlight and dust. If the bottom surface of a disc is damaged, the disc may not play properly or at all.

Do not touch the bottom surface of a disc while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

If the bottom surface of a disc is dirty, take a soft, lint-free cloth, or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Wipe the disc from the center to the outer edge.

Care of the CD/DVD Player

Do not add a label to a disc, as it could get caught in the CD/DVD player. If a label is needed, label the top of the recorded disc with a marking pen.

Do not use disc lens cleaners because they could contaminate the lens of the disc optics and damage the CD/DVD player.

Notice:
If a label is added to a CD, 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.
