Audio Steering Wheel Controls (If Equipped) If your vehicle has this feature, you can control certain radio functions using the buttons on your steering wheel. PRESET: Press this button to play a station you have programmed on the radio preset buttons. VOL: Press the up or down arrow to increase or decrease volume. PLAY: Press this button to play a loaded cassette tape or compact disc when the radio is playing. MUTE: Press this button to silence the system. Press it again to turn on the sound. This button may be used when listening to the radio, a cassette tape or a compact disc. Understanding Radio Reception AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it. FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. SEEK: Press the up arrow to tune to a higher radio station and the down arrow to tune to a lower radio station. The sound will mute while seeking. When playing a cassette tape or compact disc, press SEEK to hear the next selection. PROG: Press this button to choose AM or FM. 3-54
