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

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 discon-
nected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself . If this
happens, you will see ‘‘CODE’’ on the
frequencydisplaythenexttimeyou
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons (icons on vehicles with
navigation system) to enter the f ive-
digit 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
f ive-digit 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 for 1
hour bef ore trying again.If the code card is lost, a dealer can
access your code with your radio’s
serial number. To access the serial
number, turn the radio on. It must
display ‘‘CODE’’, then turn the radio
of f . Push the preset 1, preset 6, and
power buttons at the same time, then
quickly release.
You will have to store your favorite
stations on each side of the preset
buttons (1 6) after the system

settings were lost when power was
disconnected.
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.
