86-6-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Midline system radio cassette
The midline radio cassette is located in the center of the fascia and contains the radio and tape player, four clips
(accessible through holes in the front of the unit) secure the unit. To remove the radio cassette unit the four clips
must be released with a special tool. The midline system can be controlled from the fascia mounted radio cassette,
or from remote radio control switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel. The audio signal can be from the
radio, cassette player or a optional CD-autochanger. A logic control circuit in the radio cassette player controls the
operation in the various control modes.
The radio cassette has a display screen, information shown can include current status, station (radio mode) or
cassette tape track or (optional) CD-autochanger track/disc status. Power for illumination on the radio cassette is
supplied from the passenger compartment fusebox. A main fuse is also located in the connector socket area on the
back of the radio cassette.
Security code function
A combination of buttons on the radio cassette are used to input and change security codes. Security codes make the
unit unusable if the unit is disconnected from the vehicle without deactivating the security code. The radio cassette
has an internal memory chip that stores the information, if the power is removed from the unit the chip will activate the
security code feature. For this reason the security code feature must be deactivated before the unit is removed or the
vehicles battery is disconnected.
Audio functions
A rotary knob allows changes of levels or selections during the various modes of operation, this includes volume,
bass, treble and fader.
Cassette functions
The radio cassette has buttons for the following cassette functions eject, tape, reverse, forward, tape eject/reversal.
Radio functions
The radio cassette has buttons for the selection of AM or FM reception. Selection of the radio station is controlled by
the use of the multi-function buttons on the radio cassette player, the radio headphone amplifiers or the remote radio
controls on the steering wheel.
Traffic information and news function
A traffic information button (TA/NEWS) allows traffic or news information to be selected on the FM waveband only, in
this mode the audio output will mute when traffic or news messages are received. After the traffic or news message
the radio, cassette tape or CD will resume play, the traffic and news information varies with the country of use and
radio band selected.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-6-7
Multi function buttons
Rotary controls are located on the front of the radio cassette for adjustment of bass, treble etc, depending on current
mode selected. Operation of presets 1-6 depends on current mode of operation and allows selection of radio band

permanent power feed, supplied from the passenger compartment fuse box.
High line system radio cassette
The high line radio cassette is located in the center of the fascia and contains the radio and tape player. Two clips
(accessible through slots in the front of the unit) secure the unit. To remove the radio cassette unit the two clips must
be released with a special tool. The high line system can be controlled from the fascia mounted radio cassette, or from
remote radio control switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel. In vehicles fitted with radio headphone
amplifiers, the rear seat passengers can control their individual audio output using a headphone amplifier control
panel. The audio signal can be from the radio, cassette player or a CD-autochanger. A logic control circuit in the radio
cassette player controls the operation in the various control modes.
The radio cassette has a display screen, information shown includes current status, station (Radio mode) , CD-
autochanger track/disc status or status of headphone amplifier. Power for illumination on the radio cassette is supplied

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-6-9
Inputs and outputs
The radio cassette player receives a mute signal from the telephone system if a call is received, when the call finishes
the mute is removed and the system resumes play. Inputs are also received from the steering wheel control system
(mid line and high line sytems). When the system is turned on, the high line systems radio cassette player:
lsends a 'power on enable' to the power amplifier
lsends an 'enable' signal to the radio headphone amplifiers.
On the high line system the radio cassette player also sends and receives signals from the CD-autochanger and rear
headphone amplifiers (if fitted). On high line systems the radio cassette player sends audio signals to the power
amplifier.
Remote radio steering wheel controls (midline and high line systems)
The remote radio control switch is located on the LH side of the steering wheel and is secured with two screws. The
wiring from the remote radio control switch plugs in to a connector that is part of the steering wheel rotary coupler.
Operation of the remote radio control switches allow the driver to control the ICE without releasing the steering wheel.
Volume, mode and selection functions can be carried out using the steering wheel mounted control switches. Control
inputs from the remote radio control switches are sent to the radio cassette player.
