CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the
display and/or the CD comes out, it could be for
one of the following reasons:
•It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
•You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
•The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
•The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
•There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
•The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down
and provide it to your dealer when reporting the
problem.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
(Non-RDS Radios)
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to
a different vehicle, it will not operate and LOC will
appear on the display.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
(RDS Radios)
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to
a different vehicle, it will not operate and LOCKED
will appear on the display.
When the radio and vehicle are turned off, the
blinking red light indicates that THEFTLOCK
®is
armed.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
223

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.
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.
Care of the Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
can cause reduced sound quality, ruined
cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette
tapes should be stored in their cases away
from contaminants, direct sunlight, and extreme
heat. If they are not, they may not operate properly
or may cause failure of the tape player.
The tape player should be cleaned regularly after
every 50 hours of use. The radio may display
CLEAN to indicate that the tape player has been
used for 50 hours without resetting the tape
clean timer. If this message appears on the
display, the cassette tape player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play tapes, but it should
be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent damage
to the tapes and player. If there is a reduction in
sound quality, try a known good cassette to
see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this
other cassette has no improvement in sound
quality, clean the tape player.
224

For best results, use a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which
scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner
cassette turn. The recommended cleaning cassette
is available through your dealer.
When cleaning the cassette tape player with the
recommended non-abrasive cleaning cassette, it is
possible that the cassette may eject, because
the cut tape detection feature on the radio
may recognize it as a broken tape, in error.
To prevent the cleaning cassette from being
ejected, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE DISC button for
five seconds. READY will appear on the
display and the cassette symbol will flash for
five seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the
manufacturer’s recommended cleaning time.
When the cleaning cassette has been ejected,
the cut tape detection feature will be active
again.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which
uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape
head can be used. This type of cleaning cassette
will not eject on its own. A non-scrubbing
action cleaner may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing type cleaner. The use of a
non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning cassette is
not recommended.
After the player is cleaned, press and hold the
eject button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN
indicator. The radio will display --- or CLEANED to
show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound
quality may degrade over time. Always make sure
the cassette tape is in good condition before
the tape player is serviced.
225

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 will 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.
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.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car
washes without being damaged. If the mast should
ever become slightly bent, straighten it out by
hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is
still tightened to the fender. If tightening is
required, tighten by hand, then with a wrench
one quarter turn.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime
level. To change the volume level of the chime,
press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition on
and the radio power off. The volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and LOUD
will appear on the radio display. To change back to
the default or normal setting, press and hold
pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will change
from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will
appear on the radio display. Each time the chime
volume is changed, three chimes will sound to
indicate the change. Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or chime module will
disable vehicle chimes.
