Audio System(s)
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can
be added by checking with your dealer. Also,
check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be added,
it is very important to do it properly. Added
sound equipment may interfere with the operation
of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may
interfere with the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.Notice:Getting suntan lotion, hand lotion, or hand
cleaner on the radio, will soften the paint, and
the paint will eventually begin to peel. Repairs will
not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty. Try not to
get suntan lotion, hand lotion, or hand cleaner on
the radio. If you do, wipe the lotion or cleaner
off immediately.
Figure out which audio system is in your vehicle, nd
out what your audio system can do, and how to operate
all of its controls.
Setting the Time
Press and hold the RCL button and at the same time
press the HR arrow or the MIN arrow until the correct
hour and minute appear on the display. The time can be
set with the ignition on or off.

Setting the Tone (Bass/Treble)
BASS/TREB (Treble):Press and release this knob
until BASS or TREB appears on the display. Turn the
knob to increase or to decrease. The display will
show the bass or the treble level. If a station is weak or
noisy, you may want to decrease the treble.
RAUTO TONEQ(Automatic Tone):Press either
arrow to select customized equalization settings
designed for country/western, jazz, news, pop, rock, and
classical. There is also a at setting that has been
factory tuned for the best overall performance.
To return the bass and treble to the manual mode,
press either arrow until CSTM is displayed.
Adjusting the Speakers (Balance/Fade)
FADE/BAL (Balance):To adjust the balance between
the right and the left speakers, press and release
this knob until BAL appears on the display. Turn the
knob to move the sound toward the right or the
left speakers.

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player. The longer side with the tape visible should
face to the right. If the ignition is on, the tape can be
inserted and will begin playing. The tape symbol
will appear on the display whenever a tape is inserted.
If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape
may not be in squarely. Press EJ to remove the tape
and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL,
BASS/TREB/FADE/BAL, and AUTO TONE controls just
as you do for the radio. The tape symbol will appear
on the display and an arrow showing which side of the
tape is playing.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a tape in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the tape will start playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
Your tape bias is automatically set when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
