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 side 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 audio from the radio station to which the radio is currently tuned. RDS is also a standard that defines how an FM broadcast radio transmits data in digital form along with an audio signal. It can be thought of as a one-way wireless modem that allows a broadcast radio to send information about the program being broadcast to the radio.
RDS data is transmitted on a so-called subcarrier. A subcarrier is a frequency that an FM broadcast radio station can use to transmit data or other audio programs that do not affect the broadcast of the main audio program. The RDS data can be used to display broadcast information and control the radio.
All that is needed to receive an RDS signal is an FM radio with RDS circuitry. 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 CDs
CDs 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 detergent solution and wipe the disc clean.
Antenna
The side window antenna unit is usually located on the rear quarter window of the vehicle.
