Controls and features

USING YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM

If your vehicle is equipped with the MACH audio
system, it will have an upgraded amplifier, subwoofer
and speaker system.

Power antenna (if equipped)

The power antenna will automatically rise when your
radio is turned on and the ignition is in the ON or
ACC position. It will lower when either the radio or
ignition is turned off.

Power antenna maintenance and care

• Never drive your vehicle through a car wash with
the power antenna mast extended. This can cause
damage to the antenna mast, which is not covered
under warranty. Turn off your radio and/or the
vehicle. This will automatically retract the
antenna.

• If your power antenna ever becomes damaged,
the mast may not extend or retract properly
which might limit reception performance. In this
case, it is not necessary to replace the entire
power antenna assembly. A replacement mast can
be obtained from your dealership for a nominal
fee.

• Occasionally, the power antenna mast should be
wiped clean with mild soap and water or
denatured alcohol. This prevents debris from
accumulating on the mast which can cause
excessive wear and decrease the power antenna
life. Never use petroleum-based products to clean
your antenna mast.
