does not turn on.
You can turn off the compact disc player by
ejecting the compact disc. If the audio system

— Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an
AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the screen.
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the sta-
tion band or counterclockwise to step
down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the
amount of channel separation to prevent the
weak signal from creating noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception. In this case,
“ST” disappears from the screen.

(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the switches (1 — 6) you
want and hold it until a beep is heard. This
sets the station to the switch and the fre-
quency appears on the switch.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can store
up to 6 stations. To change the preset station
to a different one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when
the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.(c) Selecting a station
Tune in the desired station using one of the
following methods.
Preset tuning: Touch the switch (1 — 6) for
the station you want. The switch is high-
lighted in green and the station frequency ap-
pears on the screen.
Seek tuning: Push the “SEEK/TRACK” but-
ton on either side. The radio will begin seek-
ing up or down for a station of the nearest fre-
quency and will stop on reception. Each time
you push the button, the stations will be
searched automatically one after another.
To scan all the frequencies: Touch the
“SCAN” switch on the screen or push the
“SCAN” button briefly. “SCAN” appears on
the screen. The radio will find the next station
and stay there for a few seconds, and then
scan again. To select a station, touch the
“SCAN” switch or push the “SCAN” button
again.
To scan the preset stations: Touch the
“SCAN” switch on the screen or push the
“SCAN” button for longer than approximately
a second. “P. SCAN” appears on the screen.

stay there for a few seconds, and then move
to the next preset station. To select a station,
touch the “SCAN” switch or push the “SCAN”
button again.(d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode provides
you to receive text messages from radio sta-
tions that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular program
type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RDS features are available for the use only on
FM stations which broadcast RDS informa-
tion.

Audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system opera-
tions:
Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a
Compact Disc into the slot.
Do not put anything other than an ap-
propriate disc into the DVD player.
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio sys-
tem which you are listening to. How-
ever, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception does
not mean there is a problem with your radio —
it is just the normal result of conditions outside
the vehicle.For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power lines
or telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther you are from a station,
the weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly as your
vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem with
your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna at the same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.

141 Station swapping — If the FM signal you are
listening to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on the
FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked
up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere — especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to sound alternately
strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same frequency,
they can interfere with each other, making it
difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player and DVD player
from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.

make your compact disc player and DVD
player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player and DVD player, you may not play
even though they appear to be working.
Remove the disc from the player and wait
until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players
