RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
The radio will provide excellent reception under most
operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals: AM (Ampli-
tude Modulation), in which the transmitted sound causes
the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary; and
FM (Frequency Modulation), in which the frequency of
the wave is varied to carry the sound.
Electrical Disturbance
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.

FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.
NOTE:
•For vehicles not equipped with the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC), the radio and steering
wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain active
for 45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel
this feature.
•For vehicles equipped with the EVIC, the radio and
steering wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain
active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is
turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front
door will cancel this feature. The time is program-
mable. For details, refer to “Key-Off Power Delay,”under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable
Features)” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)” in Section 4.
SALES CODE REN — MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
NOTE:
The sales code is located on the lower right side
of the unit’s faceplate.
The REN Multimedia system contains a radio, CD/DVD
player, USB port, a 30-gigabyte hard drive (HDD), and a
“JukeBox” (virtual CD changer). Sirius Satellite Radio is
optional. The 6.5 in (16.5 cm) touch screen allows for easy
menu selection.
A 30-gigabyte HDD allows uploads of music and photos
from CDs or through the USB port. The Gracenote
database finds the artist, track, and title for the music.

An auxiliary input jack permits passengers to listen to a
portable MP3 player through the vehicle’s speakers. For
vehicles equipped with the Video Entertainment System
(VES)™, separate audio outputs allow passengers to
listen to the vehicle speakers while different audio tracks
play through the system’s wireless headphones. This
means rear-seat passengers can watch a DVD on the
optional rear seat entertainment system, while the driver
and front-seat passenger listen to the radio.
Other special features include direct tune, music type
selections, easy store presets, backup camera display for
vehicles equipped with a backup camera, and on some
models, a dual display screen operation. Refer to your
radio-specific user’s manual for detailed operating in-
structions.Operating Instructions — Satellite Radio (If
