Radio Personalization with Home and 
Away Feature (If Equipped)
If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or
DRIVER 2 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears 
in the display when the radio is first turned on, 
your vehicle is equipped with this feature.
This feature allows the driver to return to the last used
audio source (radio, cassette or CD) using their remote
keyless entry transmitter. This feature can also store 
and recall AM and FM presets, volume, tone and the 
last selected radio station. The number on the back of
each transmitter (1 or 2) corresponds to driver 1 or 2. 
If transmitter 1 is used to enter the vehicle, the last 
used audio source and/or settings set by driver 1 will be
recalled. If transmitter 2 is used to enter the vehicle, the
last used audio source and/or settings set by driver 2 will
be recalled. The settings can also be recalled by pressing
the MEMORY seat buttons 1 or 2 located on the 
driver’s door.
Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and
away presets allow you to use one set of preset radio
settings in the area where you live, and another set when
you go out of town. That way, you will not need to
reprogram your presets every time you travel. With the
radio off and the clock displayed, use fast forward and
reverse to select home or away presets. To select the
away presets, press and hold FF for five seconds until
you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on, 
the away presets will be active. To select the home
presets, press and hold RW or REV for five seconds
until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on,
the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets because
the radio remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio presets.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK
R
 is designed to discourage theft of 
your radio. Your vehicle has a “built
-
in” theft
-
deterrent
feature on each radio that is automatic 
--
 there is 
no programming required. The radio in your vehicle
cannot be used in any other vehicle. When the radio 
was originally installed in your vehicle at the factory, 
it stored the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). 
Each time the ignition is turned on, the VIN is verified.
If the vehicle’s VIN does not match the VIN stored in
the radio, THEFTLOCK will be activated and the audio
system will not play. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to
trace the radio back to your vehicle.
