Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.

talk, front seat, ambience and spacious. DSP can be used
while listening to the radio, the cassette tape player or the
CD player. Press this button to turn DSP on. Press and
release this button until the desired selection appears on

performance. The radio keeps separate DSP settings for
each band (except weather band, which is always set to

non
-musical material such as news, talk shows, sports
broadcasts and books on tape. TALK makes spoken
words sound very clear.
FRONT SEAT: This setting adjusts the audio to give
the driver the best possible sound qualities. Front seat
can be used at any time for any material. Rear seat
passengers in the vehicle may not get the same effect.
AMBIENCE: This setting is used to enhance the
stereo effect.
SPACIOUS: This setting is used to make the listening
space seem larger.Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
With RDS the radio can:

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 (Radio Data Systems): 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. With RDS the radio will
search for a stronger station in the network when a
station gets too weak for listening.

3-21
HR (Hour) or MN (Minute): When tuned to an RDS
station, press these buttons to display the time for the
current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed. If a
time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION TIME
will be displayed. If you have recently tuned to the station,
you may need to wait a minute before the time is available
to the radio. To set the clock to the current displayed
station time, press HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is
displayed. You must be tuned to an FM RDS station.
RDS Messages
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or
local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. ALERT appears on the display when an
alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA volume during
these announcements. To increase 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 an alert
announcement comes on the current 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 an alert announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is
playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume
when the announcement is finished.TA (Traffic Announcement): This feature allows
the radio to receive traffic announcements even with
the volume muted, or when listening to a CD or
cassette tape.
When the TA button is pressed and released, the radio
will search for a station with TA if the current station is
not TA capable. During the search TA will flash on the
display. Once a TA station is found, TA will appear on
the display and the traffic announcement will be played.
If no station broadcasting traffic announcements is
found, NO TRAFFIC STATION FOUND will appear on
the display. If the TA button is pressed and held for
two seconds, the radio will search for the next available
TA station.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME
will appear on the display while the volume is
being adjusted.

3-22
When a traffic announcement comes on the current 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 TA button again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message): If the current station has a message,
MSG will appear on the display. Press the MSG 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 the
MSG 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.

Information that may be broadcast on that channel.
Additional Information messages may only be available
at certain times or on certain programs. If an Additional
Information message is being broadcast on the tuned
channel, MSG will appear on the display.
Each of the four information types may have multiple
pages of text. To reach a category, press and release the
MSG button consecutively until the desired type is
displayed. If there are multiple pages of text for the
information selected type, the radio will automatically
display all the pages for that type at a rate of
approximately one page every three seconds before

override this feature by pressing the MSG button to
review all of the pages at your own pace.
