THEFTLOCK@ is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. Your vehicle has
a “built-in” 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 Identification Number (VIN). Each
time the ignition
is turned on, the VIN is verified. If the
vehicle’s
VIN does not match the VIN stored in the
radio, the radio will
THEFTLOCK. 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.

wheel. They include the following:

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.
Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is
too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing.
Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts
to it.
