Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR or MN until the time display begins
to change. Release the button as you get close to the
correct time. The time may be set anytime the clock is
displayed. There is a two
-second delay before the clock
goes into time
-set mode.

until the radio is on. If you want to insert a cassette tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE, LEVEL,

tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which side of
the tape is playing.
Your cassette tape player automatically reduces
background noise. Dolby Noise Reduction is manufactured
under a license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation. Dolby and the double

Cassette Tape Messages
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be for one of the following reasons:

The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning the right
hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip the tape
over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your
cassette tape may be damaged and should not be
used in the player. Try a new tape to be sure your
player is working properly.

The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if your
tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
CLEAN TAPE: If this message appears on the display,
the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still
play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage to the tapes and player. See ªCare of
Your Cassette Tape Playerº in the Index.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer.

be loaded with the radio off but they will not start
playing until the radio is on. If you want to insert a disc
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.
The integral CD player can play the smaller 8 cm
compact discs. Full

Compact Disc Messages
If the disc comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:

If you're driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smooth the disc should play.

If it's very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the disc should play.

The disc is upside down.

It is dirty, scratched or wet.

The air is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour and
try again.)

If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be

VOL (Volume): Turn this knob clockwise to increase
volume. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume.

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.

3-21
HR (Hour) or MN (Minute): When tuned to an RDS
station, press these buttons to display the time for the
current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed.
If a time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION
TIME will be displayed. If you have recently tuned to
the station, you may need to wait a minute before the
time is available to the radio. To set the clock to the
current displayed station time, press HR or MN until
TIME UPDATED is displayed. You must be tuned to
an FM RDS station.
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 arelated 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.
