the auxiliary input jack located on the
radio. Press the CD/AUX button to begin

Radio Data System
When you tune to a Radio Data System
(RDS) station, the station name and call
letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also
provide the time of day, a program type
for current programming and the name
of the program being broadcast.
RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS
information. RDS relies on receiving
specific information from these stations
and will work only when the information
is available.
Setting Preset/Favorite Stations
Before setting your preset or favorite
stations, park the vehicle.
Note:Searching for audio stations or
songs — or giving extended attention to
entertainment tasks — while driving can
lead you to look away from the road for
prolonged periods, which may cause
you to miss seeing things on the road
that you need to see. Always keep your
eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — and avoid engaging in extend-
ed searching for specific items while
driving.
