 WARNING: USE ONLY PROPERLY INSTALLED FCC APPROVED RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT. USE OF OTHER TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION OR STALL. IF THE ENGINE STALLS, POWER BRAKE AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL STOP. CONSULT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER BEFORE INSTALLING ANY RADIO TRANSMITTER.

While flexing the radio removal tool outward, away from the center of the radio chassis (18806), pull radio chassis outward from instrument panel (04320) using tool as handles.

Installation

If radio chassis is being replaced, transfer radio chassis support (18888) to new radio chassis.

1. Connect the radio antenna lead in cable and radio wiring connectors.

2. Position the radio chassis in the instrument panel and slide the radio chassis toward the instrument panel and on the mounting bracket until holding brackets engage.

3. NOTE: When the battery (10655) has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.

   Connect the battery ground cable (14301).
