Cleaning the Video Screen
When cleaning the video screen, use only a clean cloth
dampened with clean water. Use care when directly
touching or cleaning the screen, as damage can result.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of your
vehicle’s radio. It works by using a secret code to disable
all radio functions when battery power is removed and the
radio is placed in a different vehicle. This feature requires
no user input to be activated. The radio is automatically
armed when it is put into the vehicle for the rst time.
If THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio does not operate
if stolen. The radio displays LOCKED. If this occurs,
the radio needs to be returned to your dealer/retailer.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls

steering wheel controls

to increase or to decrease the radio volume.

next or to the previous radio station stored as a favorite.

If your vehicle has OnStar
