Antitheft and Alarm Systems: Service and Repair

Certain export models equipped with the RBL sales code radio have a radio anti-theft security code feature. This feature requires that a security code be entered into the radio following a battery disconnect in order for the radio to become operational. When the radio is new, a label identifying the four-digit security code is affixed to the radio faceplate. It is recommended that the vehicle owner note this security code in his vehicle owner's manual for future reference, then remove and destroy the security code label. To enter the security code in the radio, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
2. Momentarily depress the power (PWR) button on the radio faceplate. The word "code" should appear on the radio display.
3. Enter the four-digit radio security code by depressing the radio station preset buttons in the proper sequence.
4. The radio is now ready for normal operation. The security code must be reentered any time the radio or vehicle is disconnected from battery feed.
