Ford CD Changer (If equipped)
Ford CD Changer
The Ford Compact Disc Changer operates when the Premium
Sound or Supersound Audio System is on and a magazine
with disc(s) is inserted. Handle the discs by their edges only. Be
sure to read and follow all of the care and cleaning
instructions under How to Take Care of and Clean Your CD Changer
and Discs.
NOTE: A CD magazine can be loaded with the ignition ON
whether or not the radio power is on. Inserting a CD
magazine with the radio power off will turn the audio
system on. After the CD magazine is ejected, the
audio system will turn off.
