Radio Data System (RDS)
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, your radio can do the following:
·Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming,
·receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
·display messages from radio stations, and
·seek to stations with traffic announcements.This system relies upon receiving speci®c information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the program being
broadcast.

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 ®ve
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 for ®ve 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
THEFTLOCKžis 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 Identi®cation Number (VIN). Each time
the ignition is turned on, the VIN is veri®ed. If the
vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored in the
radio, THEFTLOCK
žwill 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.

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.
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service
(USA Only)
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service 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 NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
