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.
Youshouldhavereceivedacardthat
lists your audio system code number
and serial number. 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.
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 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
hour bef ore trying again. 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‘‘ ’’intheaudio
display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the preset buttons to
enter the f ive-digit code. The code is
locatedontheradiocodecard
included in your owner’s manual kit.

button. The display changes as
shown above.Each tire pressure is shown in PSI

sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator in the
instrument panel to come on. If this
happens, you will see which tire is
losing pressure on the multi-
