side up.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error number, write it down and provide this information
to your dealer when reporting the problem.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.
This feature allows the driver to return to the last used
audio source (radio, cassette or CD) using their remote
keyless entry transmitter. This feature can also store and
recall AM and FM presets, volume, tone and the last
selected radio station. The number on the back of each
transmitter (1 or 2) corresponds to driver 1 or 2. If
transmitter 1 is used to enter the vehicle, the last used
audio source and/or settings set by driver 1 will be
recalled. If transmitter 2 is used to enter the vehicle, the
last used audio source and/or settings set by driver 2 will
be recalled. The settings can also be recalled by pressing
the MEMORY seat buttons 1 or 2 located on the
driver's door.
3-31
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 fast forward and
reverse to select home or away presets. To select the
away presets, press and hold FF for five seconds 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 or REV for five seconds 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.
3-32 Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering
wheel. They include the following:
~VOL! (Volume):
Press the up or down
arrow button to increase
or decrease volume.
~ SEL ! (Select): When listening to the radio, press
the up or down arrows to tune to the next or previous
preset radio station. When listening to a cassette tape,
these arrows can be used to SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing these arrows when listening
to a CD will cause the player to go to the next or
previous track.
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.
XM Satellite Radio (If Equipped)
XM Satellite Radio gives you digital radio reception
from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall buildings or
hills can interfere with Satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to come and go. Your radio may display ªNO
SIGNALº to indicate interference.
