Three audio systems are offered. A digital logic circuit stereo CD radio with AM/FM radio with electronic cassette ejection is available in standard and deluxe versions. Both models feature the Radio Data System (RDS), which automatically selects the best station from a list of stations currently being listened to.
Speakers
All audio systems use six speakers: Two speakers are mounted in the front doors, two speakers are mounted in the rear end door sill plate, and two tweeters are mounted on the top of the instrument panel.
Radio Data System (RDS)
All high-end audio systems are equipped with a feature called Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system for transmitting data along with the audio signal from the radio station to which the radio receiver is currently tuned. RDS is also a standard that defines the way in which an FM radio broadcast station transmits data in digital form along with the audio signal. It can be thought of as a one-way wireless modem that allows the broadcast station to transmit information about the program being broadcast to the radio receiver.
RDS data is transmitted on what is called a subcarrier. A subcarrier is a frequency that an FM broadcast station can use to transmit data or other audio programs that do not interfere with the broadcast of the main audio program. RDS data can be used to display information about the program being broadcast and to control the radio receiver.
All that is needed to receive an RDS signal is an FM radio receiver with an RDS circuit. The RDS circuit contains a special chip that extracts the RDS signal and transmits it to the receiver's microprocessor, where it is decoded and processed.
Handling compact discs
Compact discs should be handled with care. Store discs in protective cases away from direct sunlight, dust, and heat sources. If the disc surface becomes dirty, soak a clean soft cloth in a mild neutral cleaning solution and wipe the disc clean.
Antenna
The side window antenna unit is typically located on the rear quarter window of the vehicle.
