Radio, Stereo, and Compact Disc: Description and Operation




The audio circuit is designed for the current to flow through the receiver circuit when the radio switch is turned ON with the starter switch in"ACC" or "ON". Current runs through the memory circuit of the audio regardless of the position of the starter switch.

The radio antenna operates in connection to the radio switch. The antenna rod goes up when the switch is ON and goes down to be stored in the fender with the switch off. The antenna rod also goes down when the starter switch is turned off with radio ON. Refer to Section "RADIO" for details.

When the cigarette lighter is pushed in with the starter switch at either "ACC" or "ON" position, a circuit is

formed in the cigarette lighter case to heat the lighter coil. The cigarette lighter is sprung back to its original position after the lighter coil is heated.
