Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have an AM-FM navigation radio
system that includes Digital Signal Processing (DSP), a
Radio Data System (RDS) with Program Type (PTY)
selections that will seek out the kind of music you want
to listen to. The radio can also communicate with
the navigation system to broadcast announcements on
traffic, weather, and emergency alert communications.
For information on how to use this system, see the
“Navigation System” manual.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of your
vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically by
learning a portion of the Vehicle Identi cation Number
(VIN). If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it
will not operate. 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.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not operate
if stolen.
