Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2
(HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display
when the radio is ®rst turned on, your vehicle is
equipped with this feature.
This feature allows the driver to return to the last used
audio source (radio, cassette or CD) using the
remote keyless entry transmitter. This feature can also
store and recall AM and FM presets, volume, tone
and the last selected radio station. The number on the
back of each transmitter (1 or 2) corresponds to
driver 1 or 2. If transmitter 1 is used to enter the vehicle,
the last used audio source and/or settings set by
driver 1 will be recalled. If transmitter 2 is used to enter
the vehicle, the last used audio source and/or settings
set by driver 2 will be recalled. The settings can also be
recalled by pressing the MEMORY seat buttons 1 or
2 located on the driver's door.
3-103

Your radio can store home and away presets. Home
and away presets allow you to use one set of preset
radio settings in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not need
to reprogram your presets every time you travel.
With the radio off and the clock displayed, use fast
forward and reverse to select home or away presets. To
select the away presets, press and hold FF for ®ve
seconds until you hear a beep. The next time the radio
comes on, the away presets will be active. To select
the home presets, press and hold RW for ®ve seconds
until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes
on, the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets
because the radio remembers them. However, you will
have to reset your away radio presets.Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCKžis designed to discourage theft of your
radio. Your vehicle has a ªbuilt inº theft-deterrent feature
on each radio that is automatic ± there is no
programming required. The radio in your vehicle cannot
be used in any other vehicle. When the radio was
originally installed in your vehicle at the factory, it stored
the Vehicle Identi®cation Number (VIN). Each time
the ignition is turned on, the VIN is veri®ed. If the
vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored in the
radio, THEFTLOCK
žwill be activated and the audio
system will not play. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to trace
the radio back to your vehicle.

Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can
be adjusted at the steering
wheel. They include the
following:
yVOLz(Volume):Press the up or the down
arrows to increase or to decrease volume.
ySELz(Select):While listening to the radio or to a
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service station, press the up or the
down arrows to tune to the next or the previous preset
radio station. While listening to a cassette tape, these
arrows can be used to SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing these arrows while listening to
a CD will cause the player to go to the next or the
previous track.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service
(USA Only)
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service gives you digital radio
reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to come and go. Your radio
may display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
3-105

Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with your
vehicle's radio. This interference may occur when making
or receiving phone calls, charging the phone's battery, or
simply having the phone on. This interference is
described as an increased level of static while listening to
the radio. If you notice static while listening to the radio,
unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.
Weather Band
Weather band is restricted to speech and the audio
quality is not as good as with the AM or FM bands.
Depending on location, the radio should receive one
or two channels.
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme heat. If they aren't, they may not operate
properly or may cause failure of the tape player.Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN
TAPE to indicate that you have used your tape player
for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this
message appears on the display, your cassette tape
player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes,
but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent
damage to your tapes and player. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to
see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this
other cassette has no improvement in sound quality,
clean the tape player.
For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape
head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The
recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealership.
The broken tape detection feature of your cassette tape
player may identify the cleaning cassette as a
damaged tape, in error. To prevent the cleaning cassette
from being ejected, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the SOURCE button for two
seconds. The tape symbol on the display will ¯ash
three times.
3-106

4. Turn the radio on and insert the scrubbing action
cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning time.
After the cleaning cassette is ejected, the broken tape
detection feature will be active again.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to
clean the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will
not eject on its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner
may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type
cleaner. The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type
cleaning cassette is not recommended.
After you clean the player, press and hold the eject
button for ®ve seconds to reset the CLEAN TAPE
indicator. The radio will display CLEAN TAPE MSG
CLEARED to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality
may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette
tape is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.Care of Your CDs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen
a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics
with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
