BASIC CONTROLS
Balance:
Left-to-right stereo balance
is adjusted using the same buttons
that control bass and treble levels.
First press the function control button,
which is on the right side of the
display and marked with a star "*". To
shift sound balance to the left
speakers, press the bass control
button. To shift balance to the right
speakers, press the treble control
button. Balance can be set to the mid-
position by pressing both buttons
simultaneously. A visual indication of
the balance setting is provided on the
display when the balance feature is
activated.
Fader:
A fader control is provided on
models equipped with both front and
rear speaker groups. Located on the
lower console near the gear selector,
this thumbwheel control can be
adjusted to suit your preference.
Dialing the thumbwheel forward will
increase output of the front
speakers while reducing that of the
rear. Conversely,
dialing the thumbwheel
backward will increase
output of the rear
speakers, while
reducing that of the
front. Positioning the
thumbwheel in its center detent will
equalize sound output.
Antenna:
The antenna extends
automatically whenever the radio
or optional integrated cellular
telephone is switched on and
retracts whenever the radio,
telephone or the car's ignition is
switched off.
Power-Off Delay:
When you are
listening to the sound system
while the engine is running and
then turn off the ignition key, the
sound system will continue
playing for three seconds. This
allows you sufficient time to turn
the ignition key back to the
accessory position without
interrupting the function of the
radio, the cassette player or the
optional CD changer.
Battery Conservation:
It is
possible to operate the radio when
the ignition is off for up to an hour.
After one hour, the radio will
automatically shut itself off to
conserve battery power. If
continued listening is desired,
simply press the power button
again.
