ALBUM LIST 

The radio can receive the complete
AM and FM bands.
Those bands cover these f requen-
cies:
AM band: 530 to 1,710 kHz
FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 MHzHow well the radio receives stations
is dependent on many f actors, such
as the distance from the station’s
transmitter, nearby large objects,
and atmospheric conditions.
Driving very near the transmitter of
a station that is broadcasting on a
f requency close to the f requency of
the station you are listening to can
also af f ect your radio’s reception.
You may temporarily hear both
stations,orhearonlythestationyou
are close to.
A radio station’s signal gets weaker
as you get f arther away f rom its
transmitter. If you are listening to an
AM station, you will notice the sound
volume becoming weaker, and the
stationdriftinginandout.If youare
listening to an FM station, you will
see the stereo indicator f lickering of f
and on as the signal weakens.
Eventually, the stereo indicator will
go of f and the sound will f ade
completely as you get out of range of
the station’s signal.
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned f requencies at least 10 kHz
apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the
FM band are assigned f requencies at
least 0.2 MHz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact
f requencies. It is f airly common f or
stations to round-of f the f requency in
their advertising, so your radio could
display a f requency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may identif y
the station as ‘‘FM101.’’

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, you must
enter a specif ic digit code using the
preset buttons (icon on vehicle’s with
navigation system). Because there
are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom specif ic
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.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 ‘‘ENTER
CODE’’ in the f requency display the
nexttimeyouturnonthesystem.
Use the preset buttons (icons on
vehicles with navigation system) to
enter the 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
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessf ul
in 10 attempts, you must then leave
the system on f or 1 hour bef ore
trying again.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system’s
serial number. 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.

Once the security  system is set,
opening  any door,  the trunk,  or the
hood  without  using  the key  or the
remote  transmitter  will cause  it to
alarm.  It also  alarms  if the  radio  is
removed  from the dashboard  or the
wiring  is cut.
The 
security  system helps to protect
your  vehicle  and valuables  from theft.
The  horn  sounds  and a combination
of  headlights  (low beam),  parking
lights,  side marker  lights, and
taillights  flash if someone  attempts
to  break  into your  vehicle  or remove
the  radio.  This alarm  continues  for 2
minutes,  then it stops.  To reset  an
alarming  system before the 2
minutes  have elapsed,  unlock the
driver’s  door with the key  or the
remote  transmitter.
The  security  system automatically
sets  15 seconds  after you lock  the
doors,  hood, and trunk.  For the
system  to activate,  you must  lock the
doors  from the outside  with the key,
driver’s  lock tab, door  lock switch,  or
remote  transmitter.  The security
system  indicator  on the  instrument
panel  starts  blinking  immediately  to
show  you the system  is setting  itself. With 
the system  set, you  can still
open  the trunk  with the master  key
or  the  remote  transmitter  without
triggering  the alarm.  The alarm  will
sound  if the  trunk  lock is forced,  or
the  trunk  is opened  with the trunk
release handle.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
f ully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and trunk open
indicators on the instrument panel
(see page ) to see if the doors and
trunk are f ully closed. Since it is not
part of the monitor display, manually
check the hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it. To see if the system is set
af ter you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, the horn will beep
once. 65

Look at the  coolant  level in the
radiator  reserve tank. Make  sure it is
between  the MAX  and MIN  lines.  If
it  is  below  the MIN  line, see
on  page  for
info rmation  on adding  the proper
coolan t. Refer 
to
on  page  for information
about  checking  other items  on your

maintain  your vehicle
according  to the  maintenance
minder  displayed  in the

Always drive in the highest gear
possible. Drive moderately. Rapid
acceleration, abrupt cornering,
and hard braking use more f uel. The build-up of snow or mud on
your vehicle’s underside adds
weight and rolling resistance.
Frequent cleaning helps your f uel
mileage and reduces the chance of
corrosion. an underinf lated tire
causes more ‘‘rolling resistance,’’
which uses more f uel.
