If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the preset driving positions stored in memory are erased,
so be sure to note the positions and reset them after the battery terminal is reconnected.
5. AUDIO SYSTEM

If the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them after the negative
(±) terminal cable is reconnected to the battery.

If the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the ºANTI±THEFT SYSTEMº will
operate when the cable is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will not operate. Be
sure to input the correct ID number so that the radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.
