Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
f rom electrical power f or any reason.
To make it work again, the user
must enter a specif ic f ive-digit code
in the Preset buttons. Because there
are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom the f ive-
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.
Youshouldhavereceivedacardthat
lists your audio system’s code and
serial numbers. It is best to store this
card in a saf e place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this
Owner’s Manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom a dealer. Todo this, you will need the system’s
serial number.
If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio f use is removed, the audio
system will disable itself . If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ ’’
(except for models with
in-dash CD changer)/‘‘CODE’’
(on models with in-dash CD
changer) in the f requency display
the next time you turn on the system.
Use the preset buttons to enter the
f ive-digit code. The code is on the
radio code card included in your
Owner’s Manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, youmust then leave the system on for 1
hour bef ore trying again.
You will have to store your favorite
stations in the preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when the
power was disconnected.
