Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA
are
on, the radio will search for stations with traffic
announcements and the selected PTY.
PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs).
These buttons have factory PTY presets. See “Radio
Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections”
in the Index.
You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FMl and
six FM2). Just:
1, Turn PTY on.
2. Press BAND to select EM1 or FM2.
3. Tune an RDS station with the PTY you desire.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons for
more than two seconds until
you hear a beep.
Whenever
you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the PTY you
set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied,
you
will not have to reset your RDS presets because the
radio remembers them.
HR or MN: Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
by one of 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 and hold HR or
MN
until TIME UPDATED is displayed. There is a two
second delay before the time is updated. RDS mode
does
not have to be on to use this function. but you must
be tuned to an
FM RDS station.
ALERT This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able
to turn off
alert announcements. Alert announcements will come on
even if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears
on the
display when an alert announcement plays. The radio
uses
TA volume during these announcements. To
increase volume,
turn the PWRNOL knob to the right.
Turn it to the left to decrease volume. TA VOLUME
will appear on the display while the volume is being
adjusted. When an alert announcement comes
on the
tuned 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, play
will stop for the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CD Adapter Kits
It is possible to use a CD adapter kit with your cassette
tape player after activating the bypass feature on your
tape player.
To activate the bypass feature, use the following steps:
0 Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY.
Turn the radio off.
Press and hold the SOURCE button for two seconds.
The tape symbol on the display will flash three
times, indicating the feature is active.

Radio Personalization (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the AM-FM Stereo with
Cassette Tape Player and
1 (H or A) or 2 (H or A)
appears in the display when the radio
is first turned on,
your vehicle is equipped with this feature. If your
vehicle is equipped with any other audio system and
DRIVER
1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2
(HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display
when the radio is first turned on, your vehicle is
equipped with
this feature. With
this feature, your vehcle 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. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which
RKE
transmitter (“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number
on the back of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. The radio settings
will automatically adjust
to where they were last set by
the identified driver. The settings can also be recalled by
briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located
on the driver’s door.
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
FF and RW to
select home or away presets. To select the away presets,
press and hold
FF for five counts 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 five counts until you hear a beep. The next time the
radio comes
on, the home presets will be active.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and
find
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right
in front of you. You can
avoid these problems by braking
-- if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can’t: there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around
the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in
Emergencies’? earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed as
you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem, to the
left or
right depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision.
If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

get the overheat warning. Your engine could
catch fire and you
or others could be burned.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean water and
DEX-COOL@ coolant.
1 NOTICE:
In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
So
use the recommended coolant.
I A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it
will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
I. You can remove the coolant surge tank pressure
cap when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise until it first stops. (Don't press
down while turning the pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there
is still some pressure left.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The cap is behind a hinged door on the driver's side of
your vehicle.
The fuel door release
is
located on console and on
the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
An alternate fuel door
release is located inside
of
the trunk on the left hand
side. Pull it to release the
fuel door. While refueling, hang'the
cap
by the tether from the
hook
on the filler door.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it;
if you let
go of the
cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.

1 A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your
tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly
and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index. When
you put
the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make
sure you
fully install the cap. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has been left
off or
improperly installed. This would allow fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere. See “Malfunction
Indicator Lamp” in the Index.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp
to light
and your fuel
tank and emissions system may be
damaged.
See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
