The FATC (Full Automatic Temperature Con-
trol) system automatically controls the heating
and cooling by doing as follows:
1. Push the "AUTO" switch. The indicator light
will come on confirming that the Face, Floor
and/or Bi-Level modes as well as the blower
speed and, air conditioner will be controlled
automatically.
2. Push the "TEMP" button to set the desired
temperature.
The temperature will increase to the maxi-
mum 90°F(32°C) by pushing on the bu-
tton. Each push of the button will cause the
temperature to increase by 1°F(0.5°C).
The temperature will decrease to the mini-
mum 62°F(17°C) by pushing on the bu-
tton. Each push of the button will cause the
temperature to decrease by 1°F(0.5°C).
NOTE:Never place things on the sensor which is
located in the car on the instrument panel
to ensure better control of the heating and
cooling system.

B980B01Y-AATFan Speed Control
The fan speed can be set to the desired speed
by pressing the appropriate fan speed control
button. The higher the fan speed is, the more air
is delivered. Pressing the "OFF" button turns off
the fan.
B670C02S-AATAir Intake Control SwitchWith the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn
through the heating system and heated or
cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "recircula-
tion" mode will give rise to fogging of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged
use of the air conditioning with the "Re-
circulation" mode selected may result in
the air within the passenger compart-
ment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON"
the air intake control will change to
"FRESH" mode (regardless of switch
position). This is normal operation. The
air intake control operates in "AUTO"
mode when turning the ignition to the
"ON" position if the "AUTO" mode was
used before shutting off the engine. This is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh
mode, Recirculation mode) push the control
button.
FRESH MODE ( ) : The indicator light on the
button goes off when the air intake control is
fresh mode.
RECIRCULATION MODE ( ) : The indicator
light on the button is illuminated when the air
intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.

Face-LevelWhen selecting the "Face-Level", the indicator
light will come on, causing air to be discharged
through the face level vents. This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be
directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or
windshield. Four symbols are used to represent
Face, Bi-Level, Floor and Floor-Defrost posi-
tion.

B670D03O
Bi-Level
When selecting the "Bi-Level", the indicator light
will come on and the air will be discharged
through the face vents and the floor vents. This
makes it possible to have cooler air from the
dashboard vents and warmer air from the floor
outlets at the same time.

When the "Defrost" button is pressed, the "Fresh"
mode will be automatically selected and the air
will be discharged through the windshield de-
froster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side
ventilator.
To assist in defrosting, the air conditioning will
operate if ambient temperature is higher than
38.3°F(3.5°C) and automatically turns off if the
ambient temperature drops below
38.3°F(3.5°C).B740D01Y-AATOperation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.

B750A02A-AATSTEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-
cies. These long, low frequency radio waves
can follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal coverage. AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from
transmitter towers located around your city.
They are intercepted by the radio antenna on
your car. This signal is then received by the
radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio
system ensures high quality reproduction.
However, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the distance from
the radio station, closeness of other strong
radio stations or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-
cies and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

!
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being
received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has passed.
B750B02Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
noise may be produced from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that something is
wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION:When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna alone,
it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical
system and adversely affect safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving, you must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
