Radio Navigation System

NOTE:

Replacement part number for radio navigation system is located on a sticker on the radio navigation system housing.

If radio navigation system is replaced, always activate antitheft coding. Refer to the Owner's Manual. Give the new code number to the customer.

If a radio navigation system from one vehicle is to be installed in another vehicle, then always make sure that radio navigation systems of both vehicles have the same replacement part number. Otherwise navigation system will malfunction since the setting of the rotation angle sensor in radio navigation system does not match the vehicle.

-- Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical consumers and remove ignition key.

-- If necessary, remove CDs remaining in the unit. Refer to the operating instructions.
