SETTING THE ANALOG CLOCK
To set the analog clock at the top center of the instrument
panel, press and hold the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons
until the setting is correct.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
When the radio is on, pressing the TIME button will
allow you to select between displaying actual time con-
tinuously or information related to the mode which the
radio is in (i.e. in Radio mode, the radio frequency is
displayed.)
When the radio is off, time will not be displayed unless
the TIME button is pressed, and then the time will only
be displayed for 5 seconds. This function will operate
with the ignition switch in either the on or off positions.
You can ask your dealer to enable the digital clock to be
displayed continuously when the radio is off and the
ignition switch is on.
Clock Setting Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position.
Using the point of a ballpoint pen or similar object, press
either the hour (H) or minute (M) buttons on the radio.
The display will show TIME.
2. Press the H button to set hours or the M button to set
minutes. The time setting will increase each time you
press a button.
RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
118 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.
NOTE:On vehicles so equipped the radio, steering
wheel radio controls and 6 disc CD/DVD changer if
equipped, will remain active for up to 45 seconds after
the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening a
vehicle front door will cancel this feature.
