the ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº, the moment a malfunction
is found the DTC will be displayed. Refer to GI-22, ªIncident
Simulation Testsº.
2) ªMANU TRIGº
+If the malfunction is displayed as soon as ªDATA MONITORº
is selected, reset CONSULT-II to ªMANU TRIGº. By selecting
ªMANU TRIGº you can monitor and store the data. The data
can be utilized for further diagnosis, such as a comparison with
the value for the normal operating condition.

2. Press both reset buttons on the combination meter and keep
them depressed.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position, while keeping the

Combination Meter Calibration
After replacing a combination meter, it might be necessary to cali-
brate the fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp. In case the fuel warn-
ing lamp is flashing after replacing the combination meter perform
the following:
1. Press both reset buttons.
2. Turn the ignition ONand keep the reset buttons depressed
for at least 5 seconds.
3. Release both reset buttons.
The low fuel warning lamp will stop flashing and the combina-
tion meter will show CALL and possibly CALL FAIL. Showing
CALL FAIL does not indicate a concern as this might be related
to the current (unexpected) amount of fuel in the tank.

NATS AUDIO LINKNJEL0381S04DescriptionNJEL0381S0401The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the ªNEWº state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in ªNEWº state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication
with the vehicle's immobiliser control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the ªaudio unit Codeº) to the IMMU. The
IMMU will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialisation process, ªNEWº is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio unit seems to switch on
directly without showing ªNEWº on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, ªWAITº is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio
unit seems to switch on directly without showing ªWAITº on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (ªSECUREº) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the audio
unit is reset to the ªNEWº state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called ªdecoder boxesº which can bring
the audio unit back to the ªNEWº state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be

carried out. Subsequently, when the repaired audio unit is delivered to the final user again, it will be in the
ªNEWº state as to enable re-linking the audio unit to the vehicle's immobiliser system. As a result of the above,
repair of the audio unit can only be done by an authorized Clarion representative.
SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROLNJEL0381S06DescriptionNJEL0381S0601If activated, the radio output volume will be automatically adjusted to compensate for increasing driving noises
at higher driving speeds.
The radio receives a speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and selects the output volume.
PERSONAL AUDIO SETTINGSNJEL0381S07DescriptionNJEL0381S0701The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations and level of speed
dependent volume control) with every NATS ignition key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be reg-
istered. During the communication as mentioned under ªAnti-Theft Systemº, the radio will recognize the used
ignition key and select the accompanying settings.

2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]

+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
NOTE:
+Discs which are marginally out of specification (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.
