Identification Card included in your
owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start

also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e

should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you areunsuccessful in ten attempts, you
