Compression feature (if equipped)
The compression
feature operates in CD
mode and brings soft
and loud CD passages
together for a more
consistent listening level.
On Audiophile audios, press the MENU control until
compression status is displayed. Press the SEL
control to enable the compression feature when
COMP OFF is displayed. Press the SEL control again
to disable the feature when COMP ON is displayed.
On Premium audios,
press the COMP
control until COMP ON
is displayed.
Menu mode
The MENU control
allows you to access
many different features
within your audio system. There are three sets of
menus available depending upon which mode or

RDS features:
Once the RDS feature is on, press the MENU control
to scroll through the following selections:
Traffic announcements
This feature allows you to hear traffic
announcements while in CD mode. These
announcements are broadcast by traffic capable RDS
stations.

CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
•Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less.
•Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high
humidity, extreme heat or extreme cold. Allow
tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
•Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or
pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
•Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
•Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a
long time when not being played.
RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM
and FM stations may use for their broadcasts.
Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength.The further an FM signal
travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of
the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by“signal
modulation.”Signal modulation is a process radio
stations use to increase their strength/volume
relative to other stations.
•Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings
between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio
station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its“shadow”) returns your
reception to normal.
•Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes
captured by stronger signals when you pass a
broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play
while the weak station frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single
channel reception if it will improve the reception of
a station normally received in stereo.

warranty information.

Opening the trunk
Press the control once
to open the trunk.
Ensure that the trunk
is closed and latched
before driving your
vehicle. Failure to latch
the trunk may cause
objects to fall out of
the trunk or block the rear view. This feature will
not work with the transmission out of P (Park) or N
(Neutral) if the ignition is in either the ACC or ON
position.
Replacing the batteries
The transmitter is powered by two coin type
three-volt lithium batteries. Typical operating range
will allow you to be up to 10 meters (33 feet) away
from your vehicle. A decrease in operating range can
be caused by:
•Weather conditions
•Nearby radio towers
•Structures around the vehicle
•Other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the
batteries:
1. Twist a thin coin
between the two halves
of the transmitter near
the key ring. DO NOT
TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER
APART.
2. Place the positive
(+) side of new batteries down. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back together.

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. ACCESSORY, allows
the electrical
accessories such as the
radio to operate while
the engine is not
running.
2. LOCK, locks the
steering wheel, automatic transmission gearshift
lever and allows key removal. For vehicle equipped
with a manual transmission, you must depress the
ignition release lever to release the key.
3. OFF, shuts off the engine and all accessories
without locking the steering wheel. This position
also allows the automatic transmission shift lever to
be moved from the P (Park) position without the
brake pedal being depressed.
In the ignition OFF position, the automatic
transmission shift lever can be moved from
the P (Park) position without the brake pedal
depressed. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always set the parking brake.
4. ON, all electrical circuits operational. Warning
lights illuminated. Key position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain
control system. This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator before or during starting. Only use

surfaces.The system operates by detecting and
controlling wheel spin. The system borrows many of
the electronic and mechanical elements already
present in the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Wheel-speed sensors allow excess rear wheel spin to
be detected by the Traction Control
portion of the
ABS computer. Any excessive wheel spin is
controlled by automatically applying and releasing
the rear brakes in conjunction with engine torque
reductions. Engine torque reduction is realized via
the fully electronic spark and fuel injection systems.
This process is very sensitive to driving conditions
and very fast acting. The rear wheels“search”for
optimum traction several times a second and
adjustments are made accordingly.
The Traction Control
system will allow your
vehicle to make better use of available traction on
slippery surfaces. The system is a driver aid which
makes your vehicle easier to handle primarily on
snow, ice covered and gravel roads.
During Traction
Control
operation,
the traction control
active light will
illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of
sound coming from the engine compartment and the
engine will not“rev-up”when you push further on
the accelerator. This is normal system behavior.
The Traction Control

on/off switch, located
below the radio,
illuminates when the
system is OFF. The
Traction Control
system will revert to the ON
position every time the ignition is turned OFF and
ON.
If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a
very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction
Control
system off. This may allow excess wheel
spin to“dig”the vehicle out and enable a successful
“rocking”maneuver.
