When the appropriate audio unit is
connected to the auxiliary input jack,
press the CD/AUX or AUX button to
select the unit.
The auxiliary input jack is on the tray
above the glove box. The system will
accept auxiliary input f rom standard
audio accessories. The Anti-thef t Identif ication Card
also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual. If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system disables itself. If
this happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE’’ in the frequency display
next time you turn on the system.
Use the preset bars (icons on
models with navigation system)
to enter the five-digit code. The code
is on the Anti-theft Identification
Card included in your owner’s
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
