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 frequency display next
time you turn on the system. Use the
preset bars (icons on models with
navigation system) to enter the five-
digit code. The code is on the Anti-
theft Identification Card included
in your owner’s manual kit. When it
is entered correctly, the radio will
start playing.

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.

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.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.

thef t Identif ication Card bef ore

audio system’s serial number. If you
