RDS Messages
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or
local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. ALERT appears on the display when an
alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA volume during
these announcements. To increase volume, turn the
PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it counterclockwise to
decrease volume. TA VOLUME will appear on the display
while the volume is being adjusted. When an alert
announcement comes on the current radio 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 for an alert announcement, it will
return to the original 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.TA (Traffic Announcement): This feature allows
the radio to receive traffic announcements even with
the volume muted, or when listening to a CD or
cassette tape.
When the TA button is pressed and released, the radio
will search for a station with TA if the current station is
not TA capable. During the search TA will flash on the
display. Once a TA station is found, TA will appear on
the display and the traffic announcement will be played.
If no station broadcasting traffic announcements is
found, NO TRAFFIC STATION FOUND will appear on
the display. If the TA button is pressed and held for
two seconds, the radio will search for the next available
TA station.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME
will appear on the display while the volume is
being adjusted.

3-36 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front
windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the front windshield and rear window are not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they could
interfere with radio reception. Also, for proper radio
reception, the antenna connector located on the
passengers side top corner of the front windshield and
the antenna connector located on the drivers side top
corner of the rear window need to be properly attached
to the buttons on the glass.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting. The metallic film
in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the
incoming radio reception.NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the front windshield or rear window
with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp.
This may damage the grid lines and affect your
radio's ability to pick up stations clearly. The
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the
grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
XM Satellite Radio Antenna System
(If Equipped)
Your XM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice
build up for clear radio reception.
