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 ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1

Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected

To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code in the
