[ST07300(ALL)05/95]
A computer system controls the engine's idle
speed. When you start your vehicle, the engine's
idle speed normally runs high. These faster
engine speeds will make your vehicle move
slightly faster than its normal idle speed. It
should, however, slow down after a short time.
If it does not, have the idle speed checked.
*
[ST07390(ALL)07/95]
If the engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, do not allow your vehicle to idle
for more than 10 minutes. Have the vehicle
checked.
*
[ST07400(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Extended idling at high engine speeds can
produce very high temperatures in the
engine and exhaust system, creating the
risk of fire or other damage.

You can activate theAuto Memory Load
feature by pressing and holding the ªAUTO
PRESETº buttonfor approximately three

the respective band and storing them in
memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the
second set of strong stations from the FM
band.)
*
[AS01650(ALL)08/95]
With Auto Memory Store, you can
continually set strong stations into your
memory buttons without losing your existing
memory presets, which is especially handy
while traveling. Your radio will automatically
set your memory buttons to the strong local
stations so you don't have to continually
manually tune to existing stations.
*

Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the
ªAUTO PRESETº button once. Your radio
will set the first five strong stations of the
band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
ªAUTOº, then run through the frequencies,
stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is
now in the ªAUTOº mode and the display
will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is
activated.
*
[AS01750(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.
