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 f ive-digit code
(except f or model with navigation
system)/f our-digit code (model with
navigation system) in the preset

of number combinations possible
from five or four-digits, making the
