BEST FM–The BEST FM function automatically memo-
rizes and continuously updates the frequencies of sta-
tions in order of their signal strength.
The strongest station comes up first when BEST FM is
selected. Stations with stronger or weaker signals are
selected by turning the right rotary knob.
To select the displayed station, press the right rotary
control/push button.
Tuning FM stations–Rotating the right rotary control to
the right or left will change the FM frequency to the next
higher or lower station with a strong signal. To manually
step through each frequency or tune in a station with a
weaker signal, press the MAN button first, and then
rotate the rotary control right or left.
Storing FM stations–10 frequencies can be stored on FM
1 and on FM 2 by pressing a multifunction button for
three seconds; a tone will confirm that the selection was
set.
Scan Search FM (SC)–To activate, press the right rotary
control/push button until SC is displayed.Beginning with the currently set frequency, the next
station scanned will be heard for eight seconds. Press the
right rotary control/push button if you wish to keep the
current station. Once the scan begins, it will continue
until either a station or program is retained or until
another mode is selected.
Radio Data System (RDS) Stations
PTY (Program Type)
The program type of the selected station can be displayed
for 10 seconds, or scanned in order of ascending fre-
quency for eight seconds each.
To activate, press the OPT button in FM mode, then press
the multifunction PT button. You can pre-select one of the
currently available PTY by turning the right rotary
control/push button and the program type scan search
begins.
Press the button again to keep the received program. If
the selected station does not transmit a PTY identifica-
tion, the display will show NO PTY. If all criteria for
evaluating RDS are not met, the unit will only display the
frequency.

NOTE:To protect the unit from excessive heat, a
temperature protection device has been integrated into
the circuitry. When a high operating temperature is
detected, CD TEMP is displayed for eight seconds and
the unit switches back to the last source (AM or FM).
Allow sufficient cool down time and retry.
User Menu
The following functions can be customized to your

switches from stereo to mono and back, depending on
the reception conditions (for nearly all reception areas,
this is the optimal setting).
•STEREO–Setting for exceptional conditions. The unit
is constantly set for stereo reception (primarily for
private broadcasters in urban areas).

signal lines are connected to the unit). The following
settings are available:
•PH MUTE–Switching radio to mute.
•AUDIO PH–Telephone call via the car radio.
Call up the user menu, then press the right rotary

the tool from the opening, the cover will not close fully.
Only after moving the selector lever to the“D+”and
“D-”positions does the cover return to its closed posi-
tion.
Reverse
Shift into REVERSE gear only when the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
Dependent on the program mode selector switch position
“S”or“W,”the maximum speed in the REVERSE gear is
different. However, it is not possible to change the
program mode while in REVERSE.
Neutral
No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive
axle. When the brakes are released, the vehicle can be
moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage in
NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when
the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g., on icy roads).
NOTE:Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any other
reason with selector lever in NEUTRAL can result in
transmission damage that is not covered by the Limited
Warranty.
Drive
The transmission automatically upshifts through fifth
gear. The DRIVE position provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
AutoStickGear selection
The transmission gear can be selected by pressing the
selector lever to the right or the left with the selector lever
in the DRIVE position. The gear currently selected is
indicated in the instrument cluster display. Briefly press
selector lever in the“D-”direction. The transmission will
shift from the current gear to the next lower gear. Shifting
134 STARTING AND OPERATING

transmit tire pressure readings to a computer which
monitors for low pressure. If low pressure is measured,
the TPM Indicator Light will illuminate.
The TPM system informs you of a low tire pressure
condition. If this occurs, correct your tire inflation pres-
sure as soon as possible, and inspect all of your tires. Be
sure to use a high quality gauge when adjusting pressure.
The TPM system is designed to periodically monitor your
tire pressure but cannot be expected to function as a tire
pressure gauge. There can be a delay between the instant
you adjust the air pressure in a tire and when the system
updates the display. The TPM system is not intended to
provide you with notification of rapid air loss.
The TPM system will cause the indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster to illuminate whenever the pressure in
one tire falls 25% below the recommended pressure
shown on the tire label.
NOTE:A TPM system does not replace normal tire
maintenance.
CAUTION!
The TPM system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor dam-
age may result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do
not use aftermarket tire sealant or balance beads as
damage to the sensors may result. The standard
TIREFIT system (see Tirefit Tire Repair and Jacking
Instructions in the What To Do In Emergencies
section) is specifically designed to operate in con-
junction with the TPM system, and will not damage
the sensors.
NOTE:The pressure in your tires changes with tem-
perature. A significant decrease in temperature could
reduce cold inflation pressure below the TPM setpoint.
For example, tires inflated to the proper cold inflation
pressure on a warm day or in a warm garage could
illuminate the TPM indicator lamp on the following day
