Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected

To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic digit code using the
preset buttons (icon on vehicle’s with

are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom specif ic
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio f use is removed, the audio
system will disable itself . If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE’’ in the f requency display the

Use the preset buttons (icons on
vehicles with navigation system) to
enter the code. The code is on the
radio code card included in your
owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessf ul

the system on f or 1 hour bef ore
trying again.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system’s
