station or a related network station, you will hear it, even
if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc
is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station

station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette
tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.

Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and
away presets allow you to use one set of preset radio
settings in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not
need to reprogram your presets every time you travel.
With the radio off and the clock displayed, use FF and
RW to select home or away presets. To select the away
presets, press and hold FF for five counts until you hear
a beep. The next time the radio comes on, the away
presets will be active. To select the home presets, press
and hold RW for five counts until you hear a beep.
The next time the radio comes on, the home presets
will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets because
the radio remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio presets.Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK
is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. Your vehicle has a ªbuilt
-inº theft-deterrent
feature on each radio that is automatic
-- there is no
programming required. The radio in your vehicle cannot
be used in any other vehicle. When the radio was
originally installed in your vehicle at the factory,
it stored the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Each time the ignition is turned on, the VIN is verified.
If the vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored
in the radio, THEFTLOCK will be activated and the
audio system will not play. If the radio is removed from
your vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used
to trace the radio back to your vehicle.

3-31 Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls
can be adjusted at the
steering wheel. They
include the following:
VOLUME: Press the up arrow lever to increase volume
and the down arrow lever to decrease volume.
SELECT: When listening to the radio, press the up or
down arrow lever to tune to the next or previous preset
radio station. (If your vehicle is equipped with the
AM
-FM Stereo with Cassette Tape Player, factory
presets which have not been reprogrammed with your
stations will be ignored). When listening to a cassette tape, the up or down arrow
lever can be used to SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing the up or down arrow lever
when listening to a CD will cause the player to go to
the next or previous selection. When in Radio Data
Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) mode, the up or
down arrow lever can be used to perform a PTY preset
seek. PSEEK will appear on the display while the PTY
preset seek is performed. The radio will seek all of the
PTYs stored in presets, except for the PTY Any.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.

3-32
Weather Band (If Equipped)
Weather band is restricted to speech and the audio
quality is not as good as with the AM or FM bands.
Depending on location, the radio should receive one or
two channels.
Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:

Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.

Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two
-way radio -- be sure you
can add what you want. If you can, it's very
important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle's engine, radio or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle's systems
may also interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.

6-33 Vehicle Storage
If you're not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative (
-) cable from the battery.
This will help keep your battery from running down.
CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren't careful. See ªJump Startingº in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent
Featureº in the Index.
