Radio Personalization with Home and Away
Feature (If Equipped)
If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or
DRIVER 2 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears
in the display when the radio is first turned on,
your vehicle is equipped with this feature.
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which RKE
transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. The radio settings
will automatically adjust to where they were last set by
the identified driver. The settings can also be recalled
by briefly pressing the MEMORY seat buttons 1 or 2
located on the driver's door.

3-30
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.
