Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. SeeªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº
in the Index.
FAN SPEED: Press the up arrow lever to
increase the fan speed and the down arrow lever to
decrease fan speed.
TEMP: Press the up arrow lever to increase

Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
When RDS is on, the radio can:

seek only to stations with the types of programs
you want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,

receive and display messages from radio stations and

search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
RDS SELECT: Press this button to use the
alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and

PTY) located on the six numbered pushbuttons.
RDS SELECT: will appear on the display. The alternate
RDS functions are only available when you are using
the FM band of your radio.RDS (1): With RDS off, press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button to turn RDS on. The RDS
display will turn on. You must have RDS on to use the
new RDS functions. The RDS display will also turn on
if one of the other RDS function buttons has been
pressed on. If you are tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's call letters and Program
Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the
display. After five seconds, the program type will be
replaced on the display by the station's program type
name. The program type and program type name
may be the same or different. Press BAND to recall
the frequency and program type displays. If the radio
is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station's frequency will remain on the
display. While RDS is on, the radio will search for a
stronger station in the network when a station gets too
weak for listening. Press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button again to turn RDS off.
All RDS functions will be turned off.

3-17
REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access
the region function. When an RDS station becomes
weak, this function searches for a stronger station within
the same network. A network can span a great distance.
One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.
With regions, local news items like weather and traffic
are available to you. When the region function is on,
the radio only searches for stations in the same network
and region. You can only use the region function when
RDS is already on. Press the RDS SELECT button.
Then press and hold the RDS button for two seconds.
REGION: ON will appear on the display. While
REGION: ON appears on the display, press the RDS
button again to turn the region function off. REGION:
OFF will appear on the display. The region function can
be turned on again by pressing the RDS button.
TA (2): Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
by this button to receive traffic announcements.
The radio will turn on the TA display. TP will appear
on the display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related
to the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a
station which does. When the radio finds a station which broadcasts traffic
announcements, it will stop. If no station is found,
NONE FOUND will appear on the display and the TA
icon will turn off. When SEEK or SCAN is pressed with
the traffic announcement function on, the radio will only
stop at stations which broadcast traffic announcements.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will
appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button
again to turn TA off.

3-18
MSG (3): When RDS is on, if the current station has
a message, MSG will appear on the display. Press the
RDS SELECT button, followed by this button to see
the message. If the whole message does not appear on
the display, parts of the message will appear every
three seconds until the message is completed. To see
the parts of the message faster than every three seconds,
press this button again. A new group of words will
appear on the display. Once the complete message has
been displayed, MSG will disappear from the display
until another new MSG is received.
PTY (4): This button is used to turn on and off
Program Type (PTY) seeks and scans. Press the RDS
SELECT button, followed by this button. The PTY
display will turn on. RDS SELECT: PTY NEWS will
appear on the display for three seconds. (The PTY
shown will be the last PTY selected.) Press the RDS
SELECT button, followed by this button again to turn
the PTY display off.
PTY (5) (6): With RDS on, press the RDS
SELECT button, followed by

or . The PTY
display will turn on, if it is not already on. RDS
SELECT: PTY NEWS will appear on the display for
three seconds. (The PTY shown will be the last PTY
selected.) While this message is displayed, use

and
 to move up and down the PTY list. If you pause on
a PTY for three seconds, PRESET PTY: NEWS will
appear on the display. While this message is displayed,
you can save the PTY in a preset by pressing one of
the six numbered pushbuttons until you hear a beep.
Allow three seconds for the message to disappear if you
do not want to save the PTY in a preset. See ªRadio
Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selectionsº
in the Index.
When the PTY display is on, press SEEK and SCAN
to find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to.
The last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan
modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found,
NONE FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY
and TA are on, the radio will search for stations with
traffic announcements and the selected PTY.
