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.

An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find that your right wheels have dropped off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while you're driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer
so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You can turn the steering wheel up to one
-quarter turn
until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then
turn your steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. You can remove
the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap
and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly counterclockwise (left) about
one
-quarter turn and then stop.
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and
remove it.
3. Then fill the coolant surge tank with the proper
mixture, to or above the fill mark at the forward
edge of the surge tank.
