Default Help: Stereo is in Safe Mode

I started my car up today and it says it's in safe mode? How do I get it out of safe mode? What makes it do this?

Thanks for the help

Default What does make it do that?

It is in the owners manual, and you need your radio code. I think you hold RDS and FM1? then input the code. Mine did it randomly a week or so ago. no idea why.

Default Get into the fuse box, pull and re-install the fuse for the stereo. Should get the stereo working..

again. oh, you'll also need the stereo code that you should have gotten when you bought the car. More details are in the manual. This happened to me and dealer replaced the entire headunit, might check and see if they'll do the same for you.

Default RTFM! :)

radio's security comes on if radio is tampered with. some radios have glitches and go to this mode by themselves.

you can remove the fuse and put back in, then put the 4 digit code. code should be in manual or in the wheel well in trunk

Default Owners Manual.

Instructions for the fix are in the owners manual. My 03 did the same thing, the fix is in the OM.
