KEYCODE SECURITY
If the battery is disconnected, or the radio is
removed from a vehicle, the audio unit will
not work.
The audio systems incorporate a unique
Keycode security number which must be
entered before the unit will operate again.
Recording the Keycode
When you take delivery of your vehicle, the
Keycode should be noted on the Keycode card
at the front of this Audio Guide. Detach the
card and keep it in a safe place, but not inside
your vehicle.
If you lose the Keycode, contact your dealer
and supply details of your audio unit along with
some proof of identity. Your dealer will then
obtain the correct code.
To enter a Keycode
If you switch on the audio unit and
'CODE - - - -' flashes in the display, you must
enter a Keycode before the unit is operational.
Use the station preset buttons to enter your
Keycode.
1. Press button 1 repeatedly until the correct
first digit of the Keycode is shown in the
display.
2. Then press preset buttons 2, 3 and 4 in the
same way for remaining digits, until the
complete correct Keycode is shown.
3. Press preset button 5 to enter the Keycode.
The audio unit will then operate.
