Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2
(HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display
when the radio is ®rst 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 the
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. You will not need to
reprogram your presets every time you travel. With the
radio off and the time displayed, use fast forward
and reverse to select home or away presets. To selectthe 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.

Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can

wheel. They include the
following:
yVOLz(Volume):Press the up or the down
arrows to increase or to decrease volume.
ySELz(Select):While listening to the radio or to a
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service station, press the up or
the down arrows to tune to the next or the previous

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.
