Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can be added by checking with your dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment can be added, it is very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added.

Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts, parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work. Make sure that replacement or additional equipment is compatible with the vehicle before installing it. See "Accessories and Modifications" in the Index of the vehicle's owner manual.

Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be played even after the ignition is turned off. See "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information.

The audio system is operated using the navigation system menus.

See "Preset Stations" earlier in this section for more information.

Radio Data System (RDS)

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio can do the following:

RDS (Radio Data System):  Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions located in the preset menu. When you touch RDS, you will only have about five seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA, INFO, PTY, or Select PTY. If you do not make a selection, the system will return to the previous menu.

If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS information, the station's Program Service (PS) and Program Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the status line at the top of the display. After about five seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced on the display by the station's PTY name. The PTY and PTY name may be the same or different.

If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS information, the station's frequency will remain on the display.

The RDS feature relies upon receiving specific information from RDS stations. These features will only work when RDS information is available.

TA (Traffic Announcement):  Touch TA to receive traffic announcements. The audio system will turn on the TA display. TA will appear on the display if the current station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the current station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system will seek to a station which will. When the audio system finds a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off. While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, use the VOL up or down buttons during the announcement. See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Navigation Set Up for more information. When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio station, you will hear it even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player was being used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.

INFO (Information): When RDS is on, if the current station has a message, INFO will appear on the display. Touch INFO from the preset menu to view the message. If the whole message does not appear on the display, parts of the message will appear every three seconds until the message is completed. Once the complete message has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the display until another new message is received. INFO will remain available to allow you to display the entire message again.

PTY (Program Type):  PTY allows you to seek only stations with types of programs you want to listen to. This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) features. With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The PTY display will turn on. Touch RDS followed by this button again to turn the PTY display off.

Select PTY (Select Program Type):  With RDS and PTY on, touch RDS, then Select PTY. The PTY menu will appear. Use the up and down arrows to select a PTY. When the PTY display is on, press TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY selected. The last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, STATION NOT FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA are on, the audio system will search for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY.

PTY (Program Type) Presets:  The six presets let you return to your favorite PTYs. These presets have factory PTY preset stations. See "RDS Program Type (PTY) Selections" later in this section. You can set up to 12 PTYs, 6 FM1 and 6 FM2. To save a PTY preset, do the following:

1. Touch FM1 or FM2.
2. Touch RDS to enter the RDS menu.
3. Touch RDS ON/OFF to turn RDS on.
4. Touch PTY.
5. Touch Select PTY and select the desired PTY from the list.
6. Touch and hold one of the six presets for more than two seconds until you hear a beep. Whenever you touch that numbered preset for less than two seconds, the PTY you set will return.
7. Repeat the steps for each preset.

Once you have stored a PTY for each of your preset stations, you can recall a PTY preset by touching the preset station for less than two seconds. Then use TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to locate a station for that PTY selection.

ALERT:  This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. ALERT appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. The audio system uses TA volume during these announcements. To increase volume, use the VOL up and down buttons during the announcement. See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Navigation Set Up for more information. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station you will hear it even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player is playing, the player will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished.
