Parade Mode
The instrument panel brightness control has an added
feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are
on in the daylight. Without turning the courtesy lamps
on, turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way to the top. The radio, season/trip odometer,
gearshift selection indicator on the instrument panel
cluster and the heating and air conditioning controls will
come on at their maximum brightness. This will occur
only with the parking lamps or headlamps on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by turning the interior lamps dial all the way
up or by turning on each individual lamp.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON, so
the lamps will dim out right away. When the ignition is
on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the
courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened.
Illumination on Door Handle Activation
Illumination on door handle activation is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by allowing the driver to activate the
vehicle interior illumination without unlocking or
opening any vehicle door.
The ignition must be off and the doors locked for the
illumination on door handle activation to work. The
illumination on door handle activation feature can
function in two ways.

Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.

the sound between the speakers.
Push the knob back into its stored position when you're

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 EJECT to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS, TONE, SEEK and SCAN controls just as
you do for the radio. Other controls may have different
functions when a tape is inserted. The display will show
TP with a box around it and an arrow to show which
side of the tape is playing.

on the Bose radio.) Other controls may have different
functions when a tape is inserted. The display will show
TP with a box around it and an arrow to show which
side of the tape is playing.
Your tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted, HI
-BIAS appears on the
display. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is
off, first press EJECT or RCL.If E and a number appear on the radio display and the
tape won't play because of an error, it could be that:

E10: The tape is tight and the player can't turn the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and try to turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape
may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.

E11: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.
REV (1): Press this button to reverse the tape rapidly.
Press it again to return to playing speed. The radio will
play the last selected station while the tape reverses. You
may select stations during REV operation by using TUNE.
FWD (2): Press this button to advance quickly to
another part of the tape. Press the button again to return
to playing speed. The radio will play the last selected
station while the tape advances. You may select stations
during FWD operation by using TUNE.

(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, you can
control certain radio
functions using the
buttons on your
steering wheel.
VOL: Press the up or down arrow to increase or
decrease volume.SEEK: Press this button to tune to a higher radio station.
When playing a cassette tape or compact disc, press SEEK
to hear the next selection. There must be at least a
three-second gap between selections on a cassette tape.
PROG: Press this button to tune in a higher preset radio
station. When playing a cassette tape, press PROG to
hear the other side of a tape that is playing. When using
the CD changer, this button will seek the next selection.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
