ther the station currently selected or another
station, the display will show “TRAF INF”
for 5 seconds followed by a 2-second indica-
tion of the frequency. Then, it will show the
name of the station broadcasting the traffic in-
formation to which you will listen. The vol-
ume level is set separately for listening to nor-
mal audio programs and for listening to traf-
fic information. The volume level will there-
fore change automatically to that set when an
emergency broadcast or traffic information
was last received. When the traffic informa-
tion broadcast is over, the radio will return to
the previously received program and to the
corresponding volume level.

ly at TP stations even if the TUNE/SEEK but-
ton (3 or 4) is pressed.TP (Traffic information Program) search function E00721800155
The traffic information program standby function
is turned on (with the TP indicator (11) shown on
the display) and after about 45 seconds since the
RDS indicator (9) turns off due to weak signal or
the tuning station is changed over from a TP sta-
tion to a station which does not broadcast traffic in-
formation, the sound will beep 5 times and seeks
out a TP station in all frequencies automatically.

The TP search function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-20.
Emergency broadcasts E00721700183
Except during MW tuning, if an emergency broad-
cast is caught when the ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “ON” position, the display will show
“ALARM” and the emergency broadcast will inter-
rupt the current program. The volume level is set
separately for listening to normal audio programs
and for listening to emergency broadcasts. The vol-
ume level will therefore change automatically to
that set when an emergency broadcast or traffic in-
formation broadcast was last received. When the
emergency broadcast is over, the radio will return
to the previously received program and to the corre-
sponding volume level.

If the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connec-
tion you don’t want. The vehicle will not
start, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles.2. You could be injured if the vehicles move.
Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission and an au-
tomated manual transmission in “N” (Neu-
tral). With an automated manual transmis-
sion vehicle, confirm that “N” is shown by
the allshift indicator display. Turn off the ig-
nition switch.WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
NOTE
l Turn off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper
level. Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
