Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle ± like a tape player, CB radio, mobile

your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Some models do not include a radio, however all
models come with four speakers, an antenna and all of
the wiring needed to install a radio.
Notice:Any non-factory installed radios are not
covered by your vehicle's warranty.Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it ®rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
®nd 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.

Then press the HR arrow until the correct hour appears
on the display. Press and hold the MIN arrow until

increase in skipping, difficulty in ®nding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
