[AS36100(BEF )01/95]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(BEF )01/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(BEF )01/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS36400(BEF )01/95]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas) several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS36500(BEF )01/95]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM
and FM bands has been incorporated into this
system to reduce strong signal capture and
overload.

Octane recommendations
*
[SV08725( ALL)04/95]
Your vehicle is designed to use regular
unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87.In
most cases, it is not necessary to use a fuel with
an octane rating higher than 87. At service
stations, the octane rating is displayed on a label
on the pumps.
*
[SV08900( ALL)05/95]
one inch art:0060001-C
Typical octane rating label
*
[SV09050( ALL)05/95]
In some parts of the country, ªregularº grade
fuels are sold with octane ratings of 86 or even
less, especially in high altitude areas. We
recommend that you do not use these fuels.
Always use a fuel with an octane rating of 87,
even if it is sold as a ªmidgradeº or ªpremium.º
*
[SV09200( ALL)05/95]
Do not be concerned if your vehicle sometimes
knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when
you accelerate. However, if a fuel with the
recommended octane rating knocks heavily
under all driving conditions or knocks lightly
driving at cruising speed on level roads, see
your dealer or a qualified service technician.
Persistent, heavy knocking can damage the
engine.
*
[SV09435( ALL)05/95]
Fuel quality
*
[SV09450( ALL)05/95]
If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or
hesitation problems when the engine is cold, it
may be caused by fuel with low volatility. Try a
different brand of fuel. If the condition persists,
see your dealer or a qualified service technician.
