2002 Pontiac Bonneville Owners Manual

or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know in order to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, see your dealer or qualified service center to prepare the vehicle for inspection.

When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have in your tank.

When the gage reads in the colored band, a warning chime will sound and the CHECK GAGES warning light will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you need to get more fuel right away. On vehicles with a DIC, the CHECK GAGES LOW FUEL message will be displayed when the fuel gage reads in the yellow band. See “DIC Warnings and Messages” in the Index for more information. Here are some things that owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: D At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before

the gage reads full.

D It takes a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the

gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more (or less) than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.

Boost Gage (If Equipped)

Vehicles equipped with the supercharged engine have this boost gage that indicates vacuum during light to moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle.

The gage displays the air pressure level going into the engine’s combustion chamber. The gage is automatically centered at zero every time the ignition key is turned to ON. Actual vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading.

The EXP codes are used to make translation from English to other languages easier. Pressing any of the DIC control buttons will remove the above messages or warnings from the DIC display, unless noted by an asterisk (*). SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM - 54: If you ever see the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message, it means there may be a problem with your stability enhancement system. If you see this message, try to reset the system (stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again). If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message still comes on, it means there is a problem. You should see your dealer for service. Reduce your speed and drive accordingly.

2-99

STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE - 55: You may see the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced, computer-controlled system has come on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re steering. This stability enhancement system activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult driving situations by making the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you’ll know that something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so you should consider slowing down. Tire Pressure Status - 144: If you see the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message, you should stop as soon as you can and check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is flat, see “If a Tire Goes Flat” in the Index.) Also check the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can. See “Inflation - Tire Pressure” and “Check Tire Pressure System” in the Index.

Electronic Compass

If your vehicle has a DIC, it also is equipped with an electronic compass. As with all compasses, this unit senses the earth’s magnetic field to show the direction the vehicle is pointing.

The earth’s magnetic field is not always the same direction as true north as we know it. So, you must enter a zone number to tell the compass the difference between magnetic and actual north. This tells the compass where in the country you are driving. The compass remembers your zone, so you only have to change it if you drive to a new zone on the map. The compass adjusts only a small amount for each zone, so you may not notice a difference if you drive from one zone to the next one, until you cross several zones.

Choosing Your Zone Number

Locate your zone number on the above map. If your number is different than the one shown when you turn the key on, follow the steps to change your zone number. If you live on the line, you can pick the zone area you are most likely to drive in. (In Alaska, use Zone 9 or 10. In Hawaii, use Zone 7.)

Changing Your Zone Number 1. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION. 2. Press SELECT to display RESET CHANGES ZONE. 3. Press RESET until your number appears. 4. Press MODE to exit the COMPASS CALIBRATION

MODE and store the new zone number. When the MODE button is pressed, the DIC will return to the VEHICLE DATA mode.

Calibrating the Compass All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic profile of your vehicle. This is called calibration and is done automatically by your compass. But, the feature is available if you would like to manually calibrate. Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the compass. If the compass display does not show a direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows: 1. Drive the vehicle to an open, flat area. 2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.

2-101

3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO

RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET button.

4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN

SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small circles. Don’t drive faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).

5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION COMPLETE is displayed on the DIC and a direction is shown for the compass.

Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this when a direction is shown and the CALIBRATE COMPASS message is no longer displayed.

Compass Accuracy Your compass may show different headings around bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills. This is normal and is true of compasses in general. If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk they could affect accuracy. If the affect is minimal, the compass will adapt to these objects over time. If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to mount it away from the center of the trunk near the rear window.

2-102

The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off again, the accuracy returns to normal. Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know they are there. As an example, many concrete roads have metal reinforcements inside. Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect accuracy and could decalibrate the compass. Driver Identifier DIC Display This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own preferred display mode. The personalization settings displayed on the DIC are determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the unlock button of a remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) is pressed and the ignition is in ON, the DIC will display the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on the driver’s door. The DIC is used to program information for DRIVER #1 and DRIVER #2. The DIC will identify a person as UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither DRIVER #1
nor DRIVER #2.

DIC Personalization Programming The DIC can be used to program the following personalization features available with your vehicle: D Automatic Door Locks D Window Lockout D Security Feedback D Delayed Locking D Perimeter Lighting D Memory Seats D Parallel Park Assist Mirror (Tilt Mirror) D Driver ID The DIC is used to program the personal choices of two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER #1 and DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which driver you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter or by pressing the appropriate memory seat control button located on the driver’s door or by choosing the driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter may be programmed differently for each driver.

When you press the button with the unlock symbol on your transmitter, the DIC will automatically change driver numbers and the vehicle will recall the personalization settings that were last made to correspond to your transmitter, including your radio and comfort control settings. See “Comfort Controls Personalization” in the Index. If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and will recall the information from the last transmitter use or the last driver change using the memory seat controls. If this happens and you were not the last driver of the vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on the memory seat controls or press the button with the unlock symbol on your transmitter or select the personalization programming mode and choose the correct driver number.

Head-Up Display (HUD) (Option)

CAUTION:

If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it’s dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.

If you have the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see some of the driver information also available on your instrument panel cluster. The information may be displayed in English or metric units and appears as a reflection on the windshield. The HUD shows the following: D Speedometer Reading D Turn Signal Indicators D High-beam Indicator Symbol

D CHECK GAGES Message (for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low oil level, high/low battery, brake, ABS and air bag.)

D Low Fuel Warning Symbol D Radio Frequency and Playback Mode

HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the instrument panel. The speedometer may display a difference of 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h) from the HUD image. This is normal.

2-109

When the ignition key is turned to ON, all possible HUD images will come on, then the HUD will operate normally. If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you may not see something important, such as a warning light. So be sure to scan your displays and controls and the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without HUD.

NOTICE:

Although the HUD image appears to be near the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If you try to use it that way, such as in a parking lot, you may misjudge distance and run into something.

2-110

The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering column. 1. Start your engine and turn the HUD INTENSITY

knob all of the way clockwise to MAX (Maximum). The brightness of the HUD image is determined by ambient light, and where you have set the HUD INTENSITY knob.

2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the height

using the IMAGE switch. Press and hold the top of the IMAGE switch, raising the HUD image as far as possible. Then press on the bottom of the HUD IMAGE switch to move the image down, so the image is as low as possible, but in full view.

3. Turn the INTENSITY knob counterclockwise until

the HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To turn the HUD off, turn the HUD INTENSITY knob all the way counterclockwise.

If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn on your headlamps, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness using the HUD INTENSITY knob. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see. Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image.

Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid could leak inside the unit. If you can’t see the HUD image when the ignition is on, check to see if: D The HUD unit is covered, D the HUD INTENSITY knob is adjusted correctly, D the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or D a fuse in the fuse panel may have blown. See “Fuses

and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.

If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright. Move the HUD INTENSITY knob counterclockwise. You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens. Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for HUD. If you don’t, the HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.

Standard Climate Control System

Comfort Controls This section tells you how to make your air system work for you. With this system, you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has a flow-through ventilation system described later in this section. Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger compartment air filter. For more information, see “Passenger Compartment Air Filter” in the Index.

FAN: The left knob regulates the force of the air coming through the system. Push this knob to turn the fan on and off. Turn the knob clockwise toward HI to increase the fan speed and counterclockwise toward LO to decrease the fan speed.The fan must be on in order for the air conditioning compressor to run. TEMP (Temperature): The right knob regulates the temperature of the air coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.

3-2

Mode Buttons You may choose the direction of air delivery by selecting one of the five mode buttons.

(Defog): This setting directs most of the airflow to

the floor ducts and the windshield defroster. A small amount of airflow is directed to the side window defroster outlets. This mode can be useful to remove the moisture from the inside of the windshield when the outside temperature is cold or the humidity is high.

(Floor): This setting directs most of the airflow to

the floor ducts with some airflow directed to the side window defrosters. There is also a small amount of airflow directed to the front defroster.

(Bi-Level): This setting directs airflow through both the instrument panel outlets and the floor ducts. There is also a small amount of air directed to the front defroster and the side window defrosters.

(Vent): This setting directs airflow through the

instrument panel outlets.

FRONT (Defrost): This setting directs most of

the airflow to the windshield defroster with some airflow to the side window defrosters and floor ducts. To improve windshield clearing performance when you select FRONT defrost, your air conditioning compressor will run automatically above approximately 40_F (4_C). This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. Even though the compressor may be running, the A/C light will not come on in FRONT defrost unless you select A/C.

RECIRC (Recirculation): Press this button

to limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when you are trying to quickly cool the interior of the vehicle or to limit odors entering the vehicle. RECIRC may be selected in all manual airflow modes except FRONT defrost. If you select RECIRC while in defrost, the RECIRC light will flash to let you know that this is not allowed. This is to help prevent fogging.

3-3

When the weather is cool or damp, operating in RECIRC for extended periods of time may cause fogging of the vehicle’s windows. To clear the fog, switch back to outside air by turning off RECIRC, select either defog or FRONT defrost mode and increase the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, minimize your use of recirculation under these conditions and turn the A/C on to help dehumidify the air.

A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside your vehicle. If your comfort control system is off, you can also turn it back on in vent mode by selecting the A/C button. Even though A/C is not selected, in FRONT defrost mode the A/C compressor will run automatically at temperatures over approximately 40_F (4_C) to improve windshield clearing performance.

3-4

Electronic Climate Control System (Option)

DRIVER (Driver’s Side Temperature): The knob on the left is used to change the temperature of the air coming through the system on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Push this knob to turn the system on and off. Turn the knob toward the blue area to decrease the set temperature. Turn the knob toward the red area to increase the set temperature. When this knob is adjusted, the word DRIVER will be displayed under the set temperature. When the passenger’s set temperature is not active, this knob controls both the driver’s and passenger’s side, and both DRIVER and PASS will be displayed under the set temperature.

PASS (Passenger’s Side Temperature): The knob on the right is used to change the temperature of the air coming through the system on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Push this knob to turn the system on and off. Turn the knob toward the blue area to decrease the set temperature. Turn the knob toward the red area to increase the set temperature. When this knob is adjusted, only the word PASS will be displayed under the set temperature.

(Fan): The button with the fan symbol allows

you to manually adjust the fan speed. Press the HIGH side to increase fan speed and the LOW side to decrease fan speed. MODE: Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the choices on the display to select the air delivery mode of airflow into the vehicle. The system will stay in the selected mode until MODE is pressed again or until the AUTO button is pressed. D FLOOR: This setting directs most of the airflow to

the floor ducts.

D DEFOG: This setting directs most of the airflow to

the floor ducts and the windshield outlets.

D BI-LEVEL: This setting directs airflow through

both the instrument panel outlets and the floor ducts. This mode will deliver slightly warmer air through the floor ducts.

D PANEL: This setting directs airflow through the

instrument panel outlets.

Whenever MODE is pressed, the display will show the current system settings for five seconds before returning the display to the exterior temperature.

FRONT (Defrost): This setting directs most

of the airflow to the windshield with some airflow to the side window outlets and floor ducts. To improve windshield clearing performance when you select FRONT defrost, the air conditioning compressor will run automatically when outside temperatures are above approximately 40_F (4_C). This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. Even though the compressor may be running, the A/C light will not come on in FRONT defrost unless you select A/C. OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to send

outside air through the system.

3-5

 RECIRC (Recirculation): Press this button to limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when you are trying to quickly cool the interior of the vehicle or limit odors entering the vehicle. RECIRC may be selected in all manual airflow modes except FRONT defrost. If you select RECIRC while in FRONT defrost, the RECIRC light will flash to let you know that this is not allowed by the system. This is to prevent fogging. When the weather is cool or damp, operating the system in recirculation, without also using the air conditioning, may cause fogging of the windshield. To clear the fog, switch back to outside air, select defog or FRONT defrost mode and increase the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, minimize your use of recirculation under these conditions and turn the air conditioning on to help dehumidify the air.

A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to

turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. This system will cool and dehumidify the air inside your vehicle. The air conditioning compressor will also run when you select the FRONT defrost mode and outside temperatures are approximately 40_F (4_C) or higher. When in AUTO mode, air conditioning will automatically be used as needed to maintain the selected temperature setting.

3-6

AUTO (Automatic Control): Press the AUTO button for automatic control of the air delivery mode, fan speed, air conditioning and recirculation. Whenever AUTO is pressed, the display will show the current settings for five seconds before returning the display to exterior temperature and AUTO. The fan speed and mode of airflow delivery will vary as the system maintains the selected temperature setting. The air conditioning compressor will run at outside temperatures over approximately 40_F (4_C). The air inlet will normally be set to OUTSIDE AIR. If it is hot enough outside, the air inlet mode will automatically switch to recirculation. To find you comfort zone for the automatic settings, start with a temperature setting of 75_F (24_C) and allow about 20 minutes for the system to regulate. Then turn the TEMP knobs up or down to adjust the temperature setting if necessary. If you choose the temperature setting of 60_F (15_C), the system will remain at the maximum cooling setting and fan speed. If you choose the temperature setting of 90_F (33_C), the system will remain at the maximum heat setting and fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.

Be sure not to cover the sensor located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor regulates interior temperatures based on sun load. To avoid blowing cold air through the system in cold weather, the automatic system will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The length of delay depends on engine coolant temperature. Pressing the fan button will override this delay and cancel the automatic mode, returning the system to manual mode. The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the front of the vehicle behind the grill. The EXT temperature displayed may not be accurate for a few minutes if you have restarted the engine after it was already warmed. Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot air inside the vehicle escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. If you have the standard system, for quick cool-down on very hot days, use the airflow from the instrument panel outlets, press RECIRC and A/C with the temperature knob in the blue area. If this maximum A/C setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold and dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C without recirculation with the temperature knob in the blue area.

If you have the electronic system, in AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the system will maximize its performance by using recirculation as necessary. On cool, but sunny days, with the standard system or through manual operation of the electronic system, use bi-level to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the temperature knobs. Heating If you have the standard system, on cold days use the floor ducts with the temperature knob in the red area. If you have the electronic system, press AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning the temperature knob up or down. You may also adjust the electronic system manually by pressing the MODE button and selecting FLOOR. Again, adjust the temperature by turning the temperature knobs. With either system, outside air will be heated and sent through the floor ducts. The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it.

3-7

Defogging and Defrosting On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield and side windows clear. Use FRONT defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions. If you have the standard system, select defog and adjust the temperature and fan speed to your comfort level. Turn the A/C on to help dehumidify the air. Use FRONT defrost with the temperature toward the red area and the fan speed toward high. If you have the electronic system and select FRONT defrost or defog from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature to your normal setting and select the AUTO button and return to AUTO mode and fan control. For maximum FRONT defrost performance under extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the temperature setting to 90_F (33_C) and increase the fan speed to high.

Rear Window Defogger The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass.

Press the button to start warming your window. A light will glow in the button while the defogger is working.

If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button will activate them. After 10 minutes the system will turn off by itself, or press the button during the heating cycle to turn it off. If you need additional warming time, push the button again. The system will then operate for five minutes before turning off by itself. If your speed is maintained over 30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defog will not turn off automatically to help keep the rear glass clear.

3-8

NOTICE:

Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the defogger grid. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals across the defogger grid on the rear window. Ventilation System For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use the vent setting (on the standard system) to direct outside air through your vehicle. Air will flow through the instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle while it’s moving. While the vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow through by selecting any air delivery mode and any fan speed.

Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle. Move the knob in the center of each outlet up, down or side-to-side to direct the air from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel in the center to shut the outlet off. For the most efficient airflow and temperature control, keep the shut off door in the fully opened position.

3-9

Ventilation Tips D Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and defroster will work better, reducing the chance of fogging your windows.

D In cool damp weather, minimize your use

of recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging your windows.

D When you enter a vehicle with the standard system

in cold weather, select floor mode to supply air through the floor ducts. Then turn the fan on high for a few moments before driving away. This will blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your windows. If you have the electronic system, the AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation of the electronic system in the floor mode will also supply air through the floor ducts.

D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.

In vehicles equipped with rear seat outlets, you can adjust the airflow toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move the knob in the center of each outlet in any direction to direct airflow. Increase or decrease the amount of airflow from the upper outlets by adjusting the lever between the two rear vents up or down to the floor ducts.

want to listen to,

D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies, and

D receive and display messages from radio stations. RDS is always on. RDS features are only available for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information from these stations. These features will only work when the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station. When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming.

Using RDS Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system that sends data along with the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to. You can use RDS to display program information and to control your radio. With RDS, the radio can do the following: D Seek only to stations with the types of programs you

want to listen to,

D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies, and

D receive and display messages from radio stations. RDS is always on. RDS features are only available for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information from these stations. These features will only work when the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

3-24

When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. Some stations also provide the name of the current program.

Finding a PTY Station PROG TYPE (Program Type): This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) select. P-TYPE will appear on the display and the SELECT LED indicator will light. The last selected PTY will appear on the display for five seconds. Turn the SELECT knob to select the PTY you want to listen to. Press the SEEK up arrow and the radio will search for an RDS station that is broadcasting the PTY that you have selected. The last PTY selected will be used for seek or scan modes. When the SELECT LED indicator is on and a PTY is not displayed, the first time seek is pressed, the last selected PTY will be displayed. Press the SEEK up arrow again to seek. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display.

To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold PROG TYPE until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to interrupt. An asterisk will appear next to the PTY name, for example (CLASSICAL*). The radio will also display brackets around the PTY when the PTY interrupt is active. To disable the PTY interrupt, select the interrupt format and press and hold the PROG TYPE button until you hear a beep. The asterisk will be removed from the display and so will the brackets. When you are listening to a compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast. AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same programming. Press and hold AM FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger stations. Press and hold AM FM again for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to other stations.

Setting Preset PTY Stations The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). These pushbuttons have factory PTY presets. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2) by performing the following steps: 1. Press AM FM to select FM1 or FM2. 2. Press PROG TYPE, if it is not already on. 3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY. 4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons

until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that numbered pushbutton, the PTY you set will return.

5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.

RDS Messages ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. When an alert announcement comes on the current radio station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a compact disc is playing. If the compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished.

These text messages are from the RDS broadcaster to the listening public and may be general information such as artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc. Press this button to see the message. If the whole message does not appear on the display, parts of the message will appear every three seconds until the message is completed. To scroll through the message at your own speed press the INFO button again for less than one second. A new group of words will appear on the display. Once the complete message has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the display until another new message is received. The old message can be displayed by pressing the INFO button until a new message is received or a different station is tuned to. If the INFO button is pressed when INFO is not displayed and an old message has not been stored by the radio, the radio will display NO INFO.

TRAF (Traffic): Press this button to receive traffic announcements. The traffic announcement brackets will appear on the display. TRAF will appear on the display if the current station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the current station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a station that does. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. TRAF will appear on the display. If no station is found, NO TRAFFIC will appear on the display. Your radio can be programmed to interrupt the playback of a CD or FM radio by enabling the traffic interrupt feature. Press the TRAF button once to turn on the traffic feature, if supported by the current RDS station. If the station does not support the traffic interrupt feature, the radio will search for an RDS station that does support the feature. When the traffic interrupt feature is on, TRAF will appear on the display. When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a compact disc is playing. If the compact disc player was being used, the compact disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
