Radio ON
Press a band selector button to
turn the radio on.
Band selection
Successively pressing the band selector
button switches the bands as
follows: FM1→FM2→AM.
The selected mode will be indicated.
NOTE
If the FM broadcast signal becomes weak, reception automatically changes from STEREO to MONO for reduced noise.
Tuning
The radio has the following tuning methods: Manual, Seek, Scan, Preset channel, and Auto memory tuning. The easiest way to tune stations is to set them on preset channels.
Manual tuning
Select the station by pressing the tuning
button lightly.
Seek tuning
Automatic search for radio stations starts
when the tuning button is pressed
until a beep sound is heard. The search
stops when a station is found.
NOTE
If you continue to press and hold the button, the frequency will continue changing without stopping.
Scan tuning
Press and hold the scan button
to
automatically sample strong stations.
Scanning stops at each station for about 5
seconds. To hold a station, press and hold
the scan button
again during this
interval.
Preset channel tuning
The 6 preset channels can be used to store 6 AM and 12 FM stations.
Auto memory tuning
This is especially useful when driving in an area where the local stations are not known.
Press and hold the auto memory button
for about 2 seconds until a beep
is heard; the system will automatically
scan and temporarily store up to 6 stations
with the strongest frequencies in each
selected band in that area.
After scanning is completed, the station
with the strongest frequency will be tuned
and its frequency displayed. Press and
release the auto memory button
to recall stations from the auto-stored
stations. One stored station will be
selected each time and its frequency and
channel number will be displayed.
NOTE
If no stations can be tuned after scanning operations, “A” will be displayed.
The system operates only when the driver is in the vehicle or within operational range while the key is being carried.
NOTE
When the battery power is low, or in places where there are high-intensity radio waves or noise, the operational range may become narrower or the system may not operate. For determining battery replacement, Refer to Keyless Entry System.
