Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features intended to
minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no
matter how advanced, can never replace your own
judgment. See the Navigation System manual for some
tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of your
vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically by
learning a portion of the Vehicle Identication Number
(VIN). If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it
will not operate and LOCKED will appear on the display.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
Your radio has a blinking indicator light located on the
upper left side of the radio. The indicator light is used
to show that the theft-deterrent feature mode is set.
The blinking indicator light will only ash when the
ignition is in the off position.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
If your vehicle has this
feature, some audio
controls can be adjusted
at the steering wheel.
They include the
following:
xw(Next/Previous):Press the down or up arrow to
go to the next or to the previous radio station and
stay there. The radio only seeks stations with a strong
signal that are in the selected band.
To scan stations, press and hold either the down or up
arrow for two seconds until SCAN displays and a
beep sounds. The radio goes to a station, plays for a
few seconds, then goes to the next station. Press either
the down or up arrow again to stop scanning.
