Radio/Stereo: Description and Operation
GENERAL INFORMATIONOperating instructions for the factory installed audio Systems can be found in the Owner's Manual provided with the vehicle.
The vehicles are equipped with an Interior (Ignition Off Draw) fuse in the Power Distribution Center located in the engine compartment. After the Interior (IOD) fuse or battery has been disconnected the clock will require resetting. The radio station presets have a nonvolatile memory and will retain the preset stations after a battery disconnect.
The available radio options are:
- AM/FM Stereo Cassette w/Clock
- AM/FM/CD
- AM/FM Cassette w/CD Changer Controls and Display
- CD/4 Disc Changer - In-Dash (used w/Radio CD Changer Controls)
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
The radio utilizes a ground wire plugged on to a blade terminal and is bolted to the radio chassis. Both connector and terminal should be securely attached. The engine has two separate ground straps to suppress ignition noise which may interfere with radio reception.
- Left engine mount clip on strap
- Engine to shock tower reinforcement
Inductive type spark plug cables in the high tension circuit of the ignition system complete the interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated spark plug wires should be replaced.
