3-35 Personal Choice Radio Controls
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings for AM and FM
presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio
source (radio, cassette or CD). The settings recalled by
the radio are determined by which transmitter (ª1º or
ª2º) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the
back of the transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to
driver 2. After the button with the unlock symbol is
pressed on the transmitter and the ignition is in RUN,
the radio settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identified driver. The settings can
also be changed by pressing one of the MEMORY
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door until you
hear two beeps. When changes are made, the new
settings will be saved for the driver.
Theft-Deterrent Feature (If Equipped)
THEFTLOCK
is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed and the
radio is placed in a different vehicle. This feature
requires no user unput to be activated. It is automatically
armed when it is put into the vehicle for the first time.
When the radio is turned off, the blinking red light
indicates that THEFTLOCK is armed.
If THEFTLOCK is activated, your radio will not operate
if stolen. The radio will display LOC and a red LED
indicator light will come on above the THEFTLOCK
logo to indicate a locked condition. If this occurs, the
radio will have to be returned to the dealer.
