Using DSP
DSP (Digital Signal Processing): This feature is
used to provide a choice of four different listening
experiences: talk, front seat, ambience and spacious.
DSP can be used while listening to the radio, the
cassette tape player or the CD player. Press this button
to turn DSP on. Press and release this button until the
desired selection appears on the display. To turn DSP
off, press and hold this button until DSP OFF appears
on the display. When DSP OFF is displayed, the
system will provide the best overall audio performance.
The radio keeps separate DSP settings for each band
(except weather band, which is always set to talk),
preset and source.
TALK: This setting is used when listening to
non
-musical material such as news, talk shows, sports
broadcasts and books on tape. Talk makes spoken words
sound very clear.
FRONT SEAT: This setting adjusts the audio to give
the driver the best possible sound qualities. Front seat
can be used at any time for any material. Rear seat
passengers in the vehicle may not get the same effect.
AMBIENCE: This setting is used to enhance the
stereo effect.
SPACIOUS: This setting is used to make the listening
space seem larger.Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
With RDS the radio can:

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,

receive and display messages from radio stations and

search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
RDS (Radio Data Systems): If you are tuned to a
station broadcasting RDS information, the station's
call letters and Program Type (PTY) will replace the
station's frequency on the display. After five seconds,
the program type will be replaced on the display by the
station's program type name. The program type and
program type name may be the same or different.
Press BAND to recall the frequency and program type
displays. If the radio is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station's frequency
will remain on the display. With RDS the radio will
search for a stronger station in the network when a
station gets too weak for listening.

3-22
When a traffic 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 a traffic announcement, it will return
to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
Press the TA button again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message): If the current station has a message,
MSG will appear on the display. Press the MSG button,
to see the message. If the whole message does not
appear on the display, parts of the message will appear
every three seconds until the message is completed.
To see the parts of the message faster than every three
seconds, press the MSG button again. A new group of
words will appear on the display. Once the complete
message has been displayed, MSG will disappear from
the display until another new MSG is received.XM

3-30 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.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.

3-31 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.
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
arrows 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.

3-32 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.Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with your
vehicle's radio. This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls, charging the phone's
battery or simply having the phone ªonº. This
interference is described as an increased level of static
while listening to the radio. If you notice static while
listening to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and
turn if off.
Weather Band
Weather band is restricted to speech and the audio
quality is not as good as with the AM or FM bands.
Depending on location, the radio should receive one or
two channels.

3-33 Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage do the following:
1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two
-way radio -- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very
important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle's engine, radio or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle's systems
may also interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.

6-35
To be sure the vent hose (A) is properly attached, the
vent hose connectors (B) must be securely reattached to
the vent outlets (C) on each side of the battery, and the
vent assembly grommet (D) must be secured to the
floor pan (E).
Vehicle Storage
If you're not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative (
-) cable from the
battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren't careful. See ªJump Startingº in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
