For 1990-2009 cars

### Radio/Audio System Description

The entertainment system consists of an AM/FM stereo with a compact disc player and a clock, 4 speakers, and an antenna.

The ignition switch must be in the ACC or ON position in order to operate any of the sound systems. The front speakers are located on the front doors. The rear speakers are located beneath the rear quarter lower trim panel on each side of the vehicle.

### FM Radio Reception

The FM tuner operates on a band from 87.7-107.9 MHz. Optimum FM radio reception range is usually limited to a maximum of 16-64 km (10-40 mi) depending on terrain, atmospheric conditions, station power, antenna height and distance from the transmitter. Tall buildings, hills or other objects can case signal flutter or noise. Eliminate the noise by tuning to a stronger station.

### AM Radio Reception

The AM tuner operates on a band from 530-1710 kHz. The range of most AM stations is greater than FM, especially at night. AM signals can interfere with each other due to the longer range of the AM band. AM reception is subject to noise interference from storms and power lines. Reduce the treble in order to reduce noise.

### Circuit Operation

Battery voltage is applied at all times for the radio clock and memory circuitry through the DOME fuse. The clock and memory functions need to be reset if the voltage source is interrupted for any reason.

The battery voltage is applied through the CIG fuse to the radio with the ignition switch in the ACC or the ON position. Voltage is applied through the switch to power all electronic radio functions when the radio ON/VOL control is turned to the ON position. The radio is permanently grounded at G200.

### AM/FM Stereo With A CD Player Operation

### Radio Display Illumination

Turning the headlamps or the park lamps on will give the IP lamp dimmer control of the illumination of the display. The dimmer is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. If the headlamps or the parking lamps are off, the intensity of the display's illumination is 100 percent. The display is not adjustable.

### PWR/ VOL

The ignition switch must be in the ACC position or in the ON position in order to operate the radio. If the ignition is in the OFF position, press the RCL/TUNE knob in order to display the time for 5 seconds. If the ignition switch is in the ACC position or in the ON position and the radio is turned off, the time will display. In this instance, all controls, except for the eject button and for the controls that are required to set the clock, will deactivate. The eject button has an up arrow and a line at the bottom.

Press the PWR/ VOL knob in order to turn the radio on. Turn the knob clockwise in order to increase the sound. In order to decrease the sound, turn the knob counterclockwise. Press the PWR/ VOL knob again in order to turn the radio off.

Upon reaching the end of the band, the tune function will continue in the same direction at the opposite end of the band.
