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.

Care and cleaning
The laser beam used in the compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.
If sound skips:
• You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If changer does not work:
• A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
disc.
• The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
• The disc is dirty or defective.
• The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C
(140°F). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
• A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If
necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD
cleaner and wipe the center out to the edge. Do not
use circular motion.
CD AND CD CHANGER CARE
• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources for extended periods of time.
• Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of
the CD changer magazine.

Radio frequency information
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning
cartridge after ten to twelve hours of play to
maintain the best sound and operation.
CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high
humidity, extreme heat or extreme cold. Allow
tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or
pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
• Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a
long time when not being played.
RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Communications (CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts.
Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz steps
FM 87.9, 88.1–107.1, 107.9 Mhz steps
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength. The further an FM station
travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of
the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal
19
Radio frequency information
modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio
stations use to increase their strength/volume
relative to other stations.
• Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings
between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio
station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights, driving under
bridges and thunderstorms. Moving away from an
interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns
your reception to normal.
• Station overload. Weak stations are sometimes
captured by stronger stations when you pass a
broadcast tower. A stronger station may
temporarily overtake a weaker station and play
while the weak station frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single
channel reception if it will improve the reception of
a station normally received in stereo.
