Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS is a system that receives data along with
the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to.
You can use RDS to display program information and to
control your radio. With RDS, the radio can do the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.
RDS features are only available on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will
appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS
stations provide their station name, the time of day and a
Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. Some
stations also provide the name of the current program.

CAL ERR (Calibration Error): This message is
displayed when the radio has not been calibrated
properly for the vehicle. You must return to the
dealership for service.

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off,
the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape
symbol is shown on the display whenever a tape is
inserted. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the
tape may not be in squarely. Press EJT to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, AUDIO and
SEEK controls just as you do for the radio. The display
will show TAPE and an arrow showing which side of
the tape is playing.If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off,
first press EJT or DISP.
If an error appears on the display, see ªCassette Tape
Messagesº later in this section.
1 PREV (Previous): Press this pushbutton to go to the
previous selection on the tape if the selection has been
playing for less than three seconds. If this pushbutton is
pressed and the current selection has been playing for
more than 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the
current selection. If this pushbutton is pressed and the
current selection has been playing from 3 to 13 seconds,
it will go to the beginning of the previous selection or
the beginning of the current selection, depending upon
the position on the tape. SEEK and a
-1 will appear on
the display while the cassette player is in the previous
mode. If this pushbutton is pressed additional times
or held, the radio will go to the displayed number of
previous selections up to 9. SEEK and a negative
number will appear on the display. Your tape must
have at least three seconds of silence between each
selection for previous to work. The sound will mute
while seeking.

Compact Disc Messages
If the disc comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:

If you're driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smooth the disc should play.

If it's very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the disc should play.

The disc is upside down.

It is dirty, scratched or wet.

The air is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour
and try again.)

If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer.Rear Seat Audio (If Equipped)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources: AM
-FM, cassette tapes and CDs.
However, the rear seat passengers can only control the
music sources that the front seat passengers are not
listening to. For example, rear seat passengers may
listen to a CD through headphones while the driver
listens to the radio through the front speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the volume for each set
of headphones. Be aware that the front seat audio
controls always override the rear seat audio controls.

hear the next selection on the tape. Press the down arrow
to go back to the previous selection. The SEEK button is
inactive if the tape mode on the front radio is in use.
While listening to a CD, press the up arrow to hear
the next track on the CD. Press the down arrow to go
