Getting to Know Your ION

Radio and CD Operation

While most of the features on your radio will look familiar, following are some that may be new:

(Power/Volume): Press this knob to

turn the system on or off. Turn the knob to adjust the volume.

(Information): Press this button to

toggle the radio display between station frequency and time. If equipped, it will also display additional text information related to the current FM-RDS or XM station, or MP3 song.

(Tune): Turn this knob to select radio

stations or, when a CD is playing, to select a track or MP3 file.

Press the knob to display the tone control (bass/treble) label or speaker control (balance/fade) label. Turn the knob to adjust the setting.

(Balance/Fade): Press this button,

or the Tune knob, to adjust the speaker control. Turn the knob to adjust the setting.

BAND: Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2, AM, or XM1 and XM2 (if equipped). With a CD loaded, press this button to switch between radio and CD operation.

(Seek/Scan): Press the right or

left arrow button to go to the next or previous radio station or, when a CD is playing, to the next track or MP3 file or the start of the current track or MP3 file.

To enter the scan mode, press and hold either arrow button for a few seconds (a beep will sound). Radio stations will be scanned. Press either arrow button again to stop scanning.

(Reverse): Press and hold this

button to reverse playback quickly within a track or MP3 file.

(Forward): Press and hold this

button to advance playback quickly within a track or MP3 file.

CD/AUX: Press this button to play a CD instead of the radio. Press again and the system will automatically search for an auxiliary input device such as a portable audio player. A portable device can be connected to the auxiliary input located on the lower-right side of the radio.

RDM (Random): Press this button to play CD tracks or MP3 files in random order. Press again to turn off random play.

RPT (Repeat): Press this button to hear the current CD track again. Press again to turn off repeat play.

EQ (Automatic Equalization): Press this button to select preset equalization settings.

CAT (Category) (if equipped): Press this button to find XM stations within a desired category.

Setting the Time To set the time (without date display):

1. Press the (Clock) button until the hour numbers begin flashing on the radio display. Press the button again to adjust the minute numbers.

2. With either the hour or minute numbers flashing, use the (Tune) knob to select the time.

3. Press the Clock button again to set the currently displayed time.

To set the time (with date display, if equipped):

1. Turn on the radio.

2. Press the (Clock) button. Or, if equipped, press the MENU button until the clock option is displayed; and then press the pushbutton located under the clock option label. The HR, MIN, MM, DD, YYYY labels will appear on the display.

3. Press the pushbutton under any of the labels to be changed.

4. Press the pushbutton again or the FWD button to increase the numbers. Press the REV button to decrease the numbers. Rotating the (Tune) knob also will increase or decrease the numbers of the selected label.

5. Press the Clock or MENU button again to set the currently displayed time and date.

Setting Preset Stations

Before setting your preset or favorite stations, shift your vehicle into Park (automatic transmission) or into Neutral and set the parking brake (manual transmission).

Note: Choosing to engage in extended searching for specific audio stations or songs by using buttons and knobs — or to give extended attention to entertainment tasks — can lead you to look away from the road frequently or longer than usual. Looking away from the road for prolonged periods may cause you to miss seeing things on the road that you need to see. Be sure to keep your eyes on the road and mind on the drive — and avoid engaging in extended searching for specific items while driving.

To store up to 18 preset stations:

1. Turn on the radio. Press BAND to select FM1, FM2 or AM.

3. Tune in the desired radio station.

4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons until a beep sounds to store the station.

Setting Favorite Stations (if equipped) FAV (Favorite) (if equipped): Press this

button to go through up to six pages of any combination (AM, FM or XM, if equipped) of preset favorite radio stations. On each page, up to six stations are available by using the six pushbuttons below the radio station frequency labels on the radio display.
