COMPACT DISC MAINTENANCE
To keep the compact discs in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the
surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth,
wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid scratch-
ing the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners,
or antistatic sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become
too high.
RADIO ANTENNA
The radio antenna is located in the rear liftgate glass on
the coupe vehicles and mounted on the left rear body
panel on the roadster vehicles. The antenna requires no
maintenance.
RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES
Under certain conditions, the operation of a cellular
phone in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy perfor-
mance from your radio. This condition may be lessened
or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily“clear”by the repo-
sitioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio
volume be turned down or off during cellular phone
operation.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
1. Driver Temperature Control
2. Passenger Temperature Control
3. Fan Speed Control
4. Air Recirculation/REST5. Air Conditioning ON/OFF
6. Rear Window Defroster
7. Air Distribution (Mode) Control
The climate control system allows you to balance the
temperature, amount and direction of the air circulating
throughout the vehicle.
The system is always at operational readiness, except
when manually switched off. The climate control only
operates with the engine running.
The climate control removes a considerable amount of
moisture from the air during operation in the air condi-
tioning mode, therefore it is considered normal operation
for water to drip on the ground through ducts in the
underbody.
