ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into

and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position.

mode.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RADIO
A vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to the radio,
because the vehicle moves, and reception conditions are
constantly changing. Buildings, terrain, signal distance
and noise from other vehicles are all working against
good reception.
Please read the following information regarding radio
reception, especially those regarding stereo transmission.
