Your vehicle’s audio system may
disable itself if it is disconnected
f rom electrical power f or any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code with
the preset buttons. Because there
are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom the f ive
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system’s serial number.If your vehicle’s battery is discon-
nected or goes dead, or the radio
f use is removed, the audio system
will disable itself . If this happens,
youwillsee‘‘ ’’intheupper
display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the preset buttons to
enter the code. The code is located
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
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have 10 tries to
enter the correct code.
If thecodecardislost,yourdealer
can access your code with your
radio’s serial number. To access the
serial number, turn the radio on. It
must display ‘‘ ’’, then turn
the radio off. Push and hold the
preset 1 and preset 6 buttons, thenpush the power/volume knob. The
serial number will appear in two sets
of f our digits.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
You should have received a radio
code card that lists your audio
system’s code and serial numbers. It
is best to store this card in a saf e
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual.

The vehicle ‘‘senses’’ the driver
number, based on which keyless
remote is used to unlock the vehicle.
If two drivers with remotes approach
thevehicleatthesametime,the
welcome display and related settings
are based on which remote the
vehicle f irst ‘‘senses.’’If both remotes come within
range simultaneously, the
‘‘Welcome’’ display may be
unpredictable.
The compass system uses the driver
number (as recognized by the multi-
inf ormation display) to personalize
the compass system. For example, if
Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the
‘‘Driver 1’’ personal address book
and other navigation settings are
automatically loaded when the
vehicle is started. There is no way to
change f rom one driver’s settings to
another while driving. For inf ormation on ‘‘linking’’ and
‘‘unlinking’’ the keyless access
remotes, see page .
When the keyless access remote is
deliberately ‘‘unlinked,’’ (as when
giving the key to a valet) the multi-
inf ormation display will display
‘‘Welcome.’’ Then the f ollowing
occurs:
The calendar f eature is not
selectable (buttons grayed out).
Setup values (like volume,
brightness, etc.) can be changed
but are not remembered the next
time you restart the vehicle. 173
