Comfort and Convenience Features
Operating the Radio
The ignition switch must be in
ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) to
operate the audio system. Turn
the system on and adjust the
volume by turning the ON/VOL
knob.
The band and frequency that the
radio was last tuned to is
displayed. To change bands,
press the AM or FM button. On
the FM band, ST will be displayed
if the station is broadcasting in
stereo. Stereo reproduction on
AM is not available.
You can use any of three
methods to find radio stations on
the selected band: TUNE, SEEK,
or the Preset buttons.
TUNE — Use the TUNE/SEEK
switch to tune the radio to a
desired frequency. Push the
TUNE/SEEK switch up to tune to
a higher frequency, or push down
to tune to a lower frequency. The
frequency numbers will start to
change rapidly. Release the
switch when the display reaches
the desired frequency. To change
the frequency in small
increments, push and release the
TUNE/SEEK switch quickly.
SEEK — The SEEK function
searches the band for a station
with a strong signal. To activate
it, push the TUNE/SEEK switch
until you hear a beep, then
release it. Depending on which
direction you pushed the switch,
the system scans upward or
downward from the current
frequency. It stops when it finds a
station with a strong signal.
Preset — You can store the
frequencies of your favorite radio
stations in the six preset buttons.
Each button will store one
frequency on the AM band, and
two on the FM band.
