playing. If the audio system tunes to a related
network station for an alert announcement, it will
return to the original station when the
announcement is nished. If the CD player is
playing, the player will stop for the announcement
and resume when the announcement is nished.

Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
With this feature, you can recall the latest audio
system settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows
two different drivers to store and recall their own
audio system settings. The settings recalled by the
audio system are determined by which transmitter
(1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. The audio system
settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identi ed driver. The settings
can also be recalled by brie y pressing the
MEMORY seat switches 1 or 2 located on the
driver’s door.
Your audio system can store HOME and AWAY
preset stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations
allow you to use one set of preset radio settings
in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not
need to reprogram your preset stations every time
you travel.
