TRAF (Traffic): TRAF will appear on the display if the
tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.
To
receive the traffic announcement from the tuned station,
press this button. Brackets will be displayed around
TRAF and when a traffic announcement comes on the
tuned radio station you will hear it.
If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic
announcements, press this button and the radio
will seek
to a station that does. When the radio finds a
station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will
stop. Brackets will be displayed around TRAF and when
a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station you will hear it.
If no station is found, NO TRAF
will appear on the display.
Traffic Interrupt Feature: Your radio can interrupt the
play of a cassette, or CD. Press the TRAF button.
The radio will seek
to a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements. When the radio finds a station
that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop.
Brackets around TRAF will appear on the display. When
a traffic announcement comes on the station that was
found, you will hear it. When the traffic announcement is
over, the radio will resume play of the cassette, or
CD.
If no station is found, NO TRAF will appear on the
display.
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. If
you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button, located next
to
the cassette tape slot, to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, POWER,
AUDIO, AUTO EQ, and the
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. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other
side when it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted. If you want
to insert a
tape while the ignition is off, first press the button with
the eject symbol on it or the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won’t
play because of an error. See “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.

Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on
FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
Using this system, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
display messages from radio stations, and
seek to stations with traffic announcements.
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
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.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the program being
broadcast.
Finding a PTY Station
To select and find a desired PTY perform the following:
1. Press the P-TYPE button. P-TYPE and the last
selected PTY will be displayed on the screen.
2. Select a category by turning the P-TYPE knob.
3. Once the desired category is displayed, press either
SEEK arrow to select the category and take you to
the category’s first station.
4. If you want to go to another station within that
category and the category is displayed, press
either SEEK arrow once. If the category is not
displayed, press either SEEK arrow twice to display
the category and then to
go to another station.
5. If PTY times out and is no longer on the display, go
back to Step
1.
If both P-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will search
for stations with the selected PTY and traffic
announcements.
To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold the
P-TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY
you want to interrupt with. When selected, an asterisk
will appear beside that PTY on the display. You
may select multiple interrupts
if desired. When you are
listening to a compact disc, the last selected RDS
station will interrupt play
if that selected program type
format is broadcast.

Headphones Battery Replacement
The entertainment system includes two IR wireless
headphones.
Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with
customer provided headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate.
If the light
does not illuminate, the batteries may need
to be
replaced. See
Battery Replacement later in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones
to OFF
when not in use.
If the system is shut
off, or if the headphones are out of
range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE
control panel for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut
off automatically to save the
batteries.
If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will cut
out.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control.
Notice: Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool place.
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place. Make sure that they are installed correctly.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The
RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead
console. The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an
auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game
unit. The yellow RCA jack is used for video and the
red and white RCA jacks are used for audio.
You may
require adapter connectors or cables
to connect
your auxiliary device
to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage. The
mini-headphone jacks allow you to hook up two
customer provided wired headphones.
