Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):Select AUTO on both the fan
speed knob and the air delivery mode knob to
activate the automatic system. When automatic
operation is active the system controls the
inside temperature and air delivery.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
full automatic control:
1. Turn the fan knob and the mode knob to the
AUTO position.
The current set temperature displays. When
AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet is automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor
runs while the outside temperature is
over about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet is normally
set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet can automatically switch to recirculate
inside air to help quickly cool down your
vehicle.
2. Set the temperature.
An initial setting of 73°F (23°C) is
recommended. Allow about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Press the
worxarrow
temperature buttons to adjust the temperaturesetting as necessary. If the temperature is set
at 60°F (15°C) the system remains at the
maximum cooling setting. If the temperature is
set at 90°F (32°C) the system remains at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting does not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor regulates air
temperature based on the intensity of the sun.
Also do not cover the sensor grille on the
lower right side of the climate control
faceplate, as this regulates the inside
temperature.
To avoid blowing cold air at engine start-up in
cold weather, the system delays turning on
the fan until warm air is available. The length
of delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Turning the fan knob overrides
this delay and changes the fan to the selected
speed.

Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3
les. By default the radio reads only the
uncompressed audio and ignore the MP3 les.
Pressing the CAT button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy
to nd songs while driving. Organize songs
by albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions might
not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or
a combination of a large number of les
and folders, or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists, or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
can cause the disc not to function in the
player.

Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and
driving is a national tragedy. It is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll, claiming
thousands of victims every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to
drive a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most
cases, these deaths are the result of someone who
was drinking and driving. In recent years, more
than 16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths
have been associated with the use of alcohol, with
more than 300,000 people injured.Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half the
adult population — choose never to drink
alcohol, so they never drive after drinking. For
persons under 21, it is against the law in
every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good
medical, psychological, and developmental
reasons for these laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway
safety problem is for people never to drink
alcohol and then drive. But what if people do?
How much is “too much” if someone plans
to drive? It is a lot less than many might think.
Although it depends on each person and situation,
here is some general information on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of
someone who is drinking depends upon four
things:
The amount of alcohol consumed
The drinker’s body weight
The amount of food that is consumed before
and during drinking
The length of time it has taken the drinker to
consume the alcohol
