Your vehicle's audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific five-digit code using
the preset bars or the TUNE knob.
Because there are hundreds of
number combinations possible from
the five digits, making the system
work without knowing the exact
code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system code number
and serial number. It is best to store
this card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system's serial number in this owner's
manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system's
serial number.

If your vehicle's battery is discon-
nected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ''CODE'' in the
frequency display the next time you
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is on the radio code card
included in your Owner's Manual kit.
When it is entered correctly, the
radio will start playing.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
navigation system, press and release
the TUNE knob; the number ''0''
appears on the display.
If ''0'' is the first digit in your code,
press and release the TUNE knob to
store it.
If ''0'' is not the first digit in your
code, turn the TUNE knob left or
right until the first digit is displayed.
Press and release the TUNE knob to
store it. Enter the remaining three
digits the same way.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have 10 tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in 10 attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again.
If the code card is lost, a dealer can
access your code with your radio's
serial number. To access the serial
number, turn the radio on. It must
display ''CODE'', then turn the radio
off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and
power buttons at the same time, then
quickly release.
You will have to store your favorite
stations on each side of the preset
bars (1 6) after the system begins
working. Your original settings were
lost when power was disconnected.
