Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station re
ception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills. T Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a “preset button”
allows you to select that station in a single
operation. Up to six, AM, FM1 and FM2
stations each may be preset. T How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM” or “AM” button to select
FM1, FM2, or AM reception.

such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleare d. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but- tons. y If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault.

Accessory power outlets
Outlet beside front ashtray
Outlet in center console Outlet in cargo area
Accessory power outlets are provided be-
side the front ashtray, in the center con-
sole and in the cargo area. Electrical pow-
er (12V DC) from the battery is available at
any of the outlets w hen the ignition switch
is in either the “ACC” or “ON” position.
You can use an in-car electrical appliance
by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected varies among
outlets as shown in the following. Do not
use an appliance which exceeds the indi-
cated wattage for each outlet.
Outlet beside front ashtray: 80W or less
Outlets in center console and cargo area:
120W or less
When using appliances connected to two or more outlets simultaneously, the total
power consumed by them must not ex-
ceed 120W.

y
Do not attempt to use a cigarette
lighter in the accessory power
outlet.
y Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Al-
ways put the cap on the accesso-
ry power outlet when it is not in
use.
y Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC.
The maximum power rating of an

NOTE
When the lid of the center console is
closed, a gap remains between the
center console and the lid to allow the
power outlet in th e center console to
be used. Pass the electrical appli-
ance’s cord through this gap.
Ashtray
Fully close the ashtray after using it to help
reduce residual smoke. „ Front ashtray
To open the ashtray, push lightly on the lid
below the climate controls.
Fully close the lid after using it to help re-
duce residual smoke.
When using appliances connect-
ed to two or more outlets simulta-
neously, the total power con-
sumed by them must not exceed
120W. Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a short
circuit. Do not use double adapt-
ers or more than one electrical ap-
pliance.
y If the plug on your electric appli-
ance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power out-
let, this can result in a poor con-
tact or cause the plug to get stuck.
Only use plugs that fit properly.
y Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet for a long
period of time while the engine is
not running can cause battery dis-
charge.
y Before driving your vehicle, make
sure that the plug and the cord on
your electrical appliance will not
interfere with your shifting gears
and operating the accelerator and
brake pedals. If they do, do not
use the electrical appliance while
driving.
