matically search for a receivable station
and stop at the first one it finds. This func-
tion may not be available, however, when
radio signals are weak. In such a situation,
perform manual tuning to select the de-
sired station. V
Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (7) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
Press the “ ” or “ ” side of the SEEK
FLDR (6) button again to cancel the scan
mode and to stop on any displayed fre-
quency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills. T
Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button
(9) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six, AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset. T How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM” (2) or “AM” (1) button to
select FM1, FM2, or AM reception.
2. Press the “SCAN” button (7) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the preset buttons (9) for
more than 1.5 seconds to store the fre-
quency. If the button is pressed for less
than 1.5 seconds, the preceding selection
will remain in memory.
NOTE y If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but- tons.y If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault. T Rear seat entertainment
If your vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment System, you can en-
joy audio outputs from the system through
the vehicle’s speakers by pressing the
“RSE AUX” button. Press the button again
to return to the audio set sound.
