P.SET PROG: The front passengers must be listening
to something different for each of these functions
to work:
Press this button to seek through the preset radio
stations set on the pushbuttons on the main radio.
When a cassette tape is playing, press this button to
go to the other side of the tape.
When a CD is playing in the CD changer, press this
button to select a disc.
CD TAPE: Press this button to switch between the tape,
remote CD and console-mounted CD changer if all are
loaded. Press AM

Remote Compact Disc Player
You can play one compact disc (CD) at a time with the
remote compact disc player.
To load a CD into the player, hold the disc with
the label side up and insert it carefully into the player
(approximately halfway). The disc will automatically be
pulled into the player. If the radio is off and the ignition
is on when a CD is inserted, the radio will turn on and
begin playing the CD. It is possible to load and unload
CDs with the ignition off. To load a disc with the
ignition off, press the EJECT button on the remote
player and then insert the disc. To remove the disc, press
the EJECT button and remove the disc from the player.
A disc that has been ejected but is still sitting in the
remote CD player will be pulled back into the player
after approximately 30 seconds. This protects the disc
and player from damage. The disc will not start playing.
To remove the disc, press the EJECT button and remove
the disc from the player.
All of the compact disc functions are controlled by the
radio buttons except for EJECT. When a disc is in the
player, a CD symbol will appear on the display. When a
disc is playing, the letters CD will appear next to the CD
symbol in the bottom left corner. The track number will
also be displayed.
