6-8 Infotainment To clean a CD, use a soft lint free cloth, or dampen a clean soft cloth in a mild neutral detergent solution mixed with water. Wipe the CD from the center to the edge. Care of The CD Player Use a marking pen to identify CDs, do not add labels. Do not use CD lens cleaners; they could damage the CD player. 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.

Store CD-R(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from dust and direct sunlight. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc.

Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. • The CD player is very hot. When the temperature returns to normal, the CD should play. • The road is very rough. When the road becomes smoother, the CD should play. • The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down. • The air is very humid.
