Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN). If the radio
is moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate
and LOCKED will appear on the display.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
Your radio has a blinking indicator light located
on the upper left side of the radio. The indicator
light is used to show that the theft-deterrent feature
mode is set. The blinking indicator light will only
ash when the ignition is in the off position.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
If your vehicle has this
feature, some audio
controls can be adjusted
at the steering wheel.
They include the
following:
xw:Press the downxor upwarrow to go to
the previous or to the next radio station and stay

To scan presets, press and hold either the downx
or upwarrow for four seconds until PRESET
SCAN displays and a beep sounds. The radio goes

Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic devices
are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to interfere with each
other. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations will boost the power levels during
the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things like
storms and power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try reducing the
treble on your radio.
270

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
If your vehicle as the XM™ Satellite Radio
Service, this type of radio service gives
digital radio reception from coast-to-coast in the
48 contiguous United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere
with satellite radio signals, causing the sound
to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels
may cause loss of the XM™ signal for a period
of time. The radio may display NO SIGNAL
to indicate interference.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans
the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD does not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take
a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface.
Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or
the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
271

Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antenna is a hidden self tuning
system. It optimizes the AM and FM signals
relative to the vehicle’s position and radio station
source. No maintenance or adjustments are
needed.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
If your vehicle has the XM™ Satellite Radio
Service, it will have an XM™ Satellite Radio
antenna. This type of antenna is located on
the roof or on the trunk lid of your vehicle.
Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build
up for clear radio reception.
