General Information● When using CD-R or CD-RW
discs, use only high quality discs
labeled for audio use.
● When recording a CD-R or
CD-RW, the recording must be
closed for it to be used by thesystem.
● Play only standard round discs.
Odd-shaped discs may jam in the
drive or cause other problems.
● Handle your discs properly to
prevent damage and skipping.
Do not use discs with adhesive labels.
The label can curl up and cause the
disc to jam in the unit. Protecting Discs
When a disc is not being played,
store it in its case to protect it from
dust and other contamination. To
prevent warpage, keep discs out of
direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth.
Wipe across the disc from the center
to the outside edge.
A new disc may be rough on the
inner and outer edges. The small
plastic pieces causing this roughness
can flake off and fall on the recording
surface of the disc, causing skipping
or other problems. Remove these
pieces by rubbing the inner and
outer edges with the side of a pencil
or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in
the disc player.
Handle a disc by its edges; never
touch either surface. Do not place
stabilizer rings or labels on the disc.
These, along with contamination
from finger prints, liquids, and felt-tip
pens, can cause the disc to not play
properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

Your vehicle's audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific digit code using the
preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from specific digits, making
the system work without knowing
the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system's code and
serial numbers. It is best to store this
card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system's serial number in this
owner's manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system's
serial number.If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio fuse is removed, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see
‘‘ENTER
CODE ’’in the frequency display the
next time you turn on the system.
Use the preset buttons to enter the
code. On vehicles with navigation
system, touch the Done icon to set
the 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
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful
in 10 attempts, you must then leave
the system on for 1 hour before
trying again.

On Sport model
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and a
combination of headlights, parking/
side marker lights and taillights
flashes if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle or remove the audio
unit. This alarm continues for 2
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an activated system before the
2 minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver's door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors and the tailgate from the
outside with the key, driver's lock
tab, door lock master switch, or
remote transmitter. The security
system indicator on the instrument
panel starts blinking immediately to
show you the system is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the tailgate, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter, will cause the
alarm to activate. It also activates if
the audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The alarm will also activate if a
passenger inside the locked vehicle
turns the ignition switch on.The security system will not set if the
hood, tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and tailgate open
indicator on the instrument panel
(see page 62) to see if the doors and
tailgate are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood. NOTE:
To see if the system is set
after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, the horn will beeponce.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.
