Unlocking the Theft Deterrent Feature After A Lock-Up

Use the following procedure in order to unlock the theft deterrent feature:

IMPORTANT: Do not allow more than 15 seconds to lapse between steps.

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position. LOC will appear.
2. Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
3. Press MN again in order to make the last 2 digits agree with the code.
4. Press HR in order to make the first 1 or 2 digits agree with your code.
5. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code.

The display will show SEC. The radio is now operable and secure. If the incorrect code is entered 8 times, INOP displays. In order to reenter the code, you must wait 1 hour with the ignition ON. When you try again, you will have 3 chances to enter the code before INOP displays.
