If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system disables itself . If this happens,
you will see ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the
f requency display next time you turn

(icons on models with navigation
system) to enter the f ive-digit code.

Identification Card included in your
owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start

also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you areunsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.

FM presets even if power is
disconnected.

you must obtain the code f rom your
dealer or

audio system’s serial number. If you
do not have the serial number with

inf ormation on how to retrieve it. If you lose the Anti-thef t
Identif ication Card, you must obtain
