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
reset buttons pressed.
4. Release both reset buttons then self-diagnosis will start. The
sequence (A to L) is activated by press the either reset buttons.
NOTE:
If either reset button is not pressed for 20 seconds at each step or
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the self-diagnosis mode is
exited.

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.
Service instruction
Item Radio linked with IMMU and/or SECU
Battery disconnection No additional action required
Radio needs repair Repair needs to be done by authorised representative of radio manufacturer since radio
cannot be operated unless it is reset to NEW state, using special decoding equipment
Replacement of radio by new part Radio is delivered in NEW state. If possible, the radio will automatically link up with the
immobiliser system. If this appears not possible, CATS code needs to be manually input
Transferring radio to another vehicle /
replacement of radio by an ªoldº partRadio needs to be reset to NEW state by authorised representative of radio manufacturer
Replacement of IMMU by new part Radio will request for CATS code input prior to establishing the link with the IMMU
Replacement of IMMU by old part If a radio code has already been stored in memory of the IMMU, the radio cannot be
linked to it. After switching on the radio, it will display ªSECUREº after 1 minute. Operation
can only be established after resetting the ratio by an authorised representative of radio
manufacturer
No communication from IMMU to
radioRadio will display ªSECUREº after 180 attempts to communicate with IMMU. Further use
of radio impossible until communication is established again, or after radio is reset by
authorised representative of (radio) manufacturer
CATS code input procedure
1. Radio displays ªCODE INº after the power is switched ON.
2. Enter CATS code (4±digits) by pressing the preset buttons (using 1 to 4).
Press the preset buttons for the necessary amount of times for the number of each digits.
e.g. CATS code is ª5432º
Press No. 1 preset button for 5 times
Press No. 2 preset button for 4 times
Press No. 3 preset button for 3 times
Press No. 4 preset button for 2 times
3. Press the
button.
4. If the code is OK, the radio will power ON.
If the code is NG, the radio will be locked up as below. After the lock up, the radio will display ªCODE INº
again.
1st to 3rd attempt: The radio will be locked for 10 seconds after each attempt
4th to 20th attempt: The radio will be locked for 60 minutes after each attempt
Over 20th attempt: The radio will be locked completely
SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROLNLEL0497S02DescriptionNLEL0497S0201If 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 SETTINGSNLEL0497S03DescriptionNLEL0497S0301The 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 ªNATS audio linkº, the radio will recognize the used
ignition key and select the accompanying settings.

+If a CD is jammed or unable to be removed from the unit, do NOT lock the changer mechanism. If
the unit is to be shipped for repair, carefully package the unit to prevent vibration and shock.
1. Eject and remove any CDs from the CD changer unit.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. Wait until CD changer unit display is off and mechanism stops moving (mecha-
nism sound stops).
3. Press any one of the disc selection buttons once. When a display shows on the CD changer unit, press
the same disc selection button again within 5 seconds.
+The changer mechanism will lock itself within 10 seconds.
4. After mechanism stops moving (mechanism sound stops), disconnect the CD changer unit connectors.
5. Remove CD changer unit.
NOTE:
+Do not disconnect battery cable (any power supply) until completion of mechanism movement.
+If the ignition switch is turned ON or ACC position after the damper locking, it will be unlocked automati-
cally and the damper locking procedure will be required again.
After installing a new or remanufactured CD changer unit, switching the CD changer unit ON will automati-
cally unlock the mechanism. A special unlocking procedure is not required.

+Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
SGI233
+To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
SGI234
+Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
+Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
+Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
+Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and
needle bearings as a set.
+Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their
assembled locations and sequence.
+Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use
microcomputers (such as ECMs).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
+After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi-
cate the proper connection.
+Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
+Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
+Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for
safe and efficient service repairs.
+When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust
systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
+Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
