Playing the Radio
P
(Power): Press to turn the system on and off.
v (Volume): Turn to increase or to decrease the
volume.
DISP (Display): Press to switch the display between
the radio station frequency and time of day. While
the ignition is off, press this button to display the time.
If your vehicle’s radio has XM™ (if equipped), press
the DISP button while in XM™ mode to retrieve
four different categories of information related to the
current song or channel: Artist, Song Title, Category or
PTY, Channel Number/Channel Name.
To change the default on the display, press the DISP
button until the desired display appears, then hold
this button for two seconds. The radio beeps once and
the selected display becomes the default.
SCV (Speed Compensated Volume): If your vehicle’s
radio has Speed Compensated Volume (SCV), the
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise while driving.
Set the volume at the desired level. Press this button to
select LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH. Depending on the
radio, the selection may be SPEED VOL MIN (volume
minimum), SPEED VOL MED (volume medium), or
SPEED VOL MAX (volume maximum). Each higher
setting allows for more volume compensation at faster
vehicle speeds. Then while driving, SCV increases
the volume, as necessary, to overcome noise at any
speed. The volume level should always sound the same
to you as you drive. NONE displays if the radio cannot
determine the vehicle speed. To turn SCV off, press this
button until OFF or SPEED VOL OFF displays.

a few seconds, and then goes to the next station.
