AST (Automatic Store): Twelve preset stations with
the strongest reception in the area can be automatically
stored. The radio will only scan stations with a strong
signal that are in the selected AM or FM band. If
the Automatic Store function is started in the FM band,
only FM stations are stored in preset pages A1 and
A2. If the Automatic Store function is started in the AM
band, only AM stations are stored in A1 and A2. A
combination of AM, FM and XM (if equipped) stations
can be stored manually into the other four favorite
pages.
To use Automatic Store:
1. Press and hold SCAN/AST to use Auto Store mode.
2. Press the pushbutton below the ON tab on the
radio display.
3. Automatic Store searches for radio stations with a
strong signal and automatically set presets A1 and
A2 with new stations.
4. After all stations are set, press the pushbutton
below the arrow tab on the radio display to
return to the main radio screen.
To reset the automatically stored radio stations, press
and hold SCAN/AST. Then press the pushbutton
below the RESE tab on the radio display. If no stations
are stored on preset pages A1 and A2, the RESE
option does not appear in the radio display. When the
Automatic Store function is used, any stations that were
previously set will be deleted and replaced with new
stations.
Storing a Radio Station
Drivers are encouraged to set up radio station favorites
while the vehicle is in P (Park). Tune to favorite
stations using the pushbuttons, favorites button, and
steering wheel controls. See Defensive Driving on
page 4-2.
A maximum of 36 stations can be programmed as
favorites using the six pushbuttons positioned below the
radio station frequency labels and by using the radio
favorites page button (FAV button). Press the FAV
button to go through up to six pages of favorites, each
having six favorite stations available per page. If
Automatic Store is used, then four pages of favorites
are available. Each page of favorites can contain
any combination of AM, FM, or XM™ (if equipped)
stations.
