How to tune radio stations
*
[AS56650( GV)10/95]
There are four ways for you to tune in a
particular station. You can manually locate the
station using the ªSCAN/TUNEº button,
ªSEEKº the station, ªSCANº to the station or
select the station by using the memory buttons,
which you can set to any desired frequency.
These four methods are described below.

2. Terrain
*
[AS61500( ALL)08/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.
*
[AS61700( ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between
the antenna and station, some of the signal
ªbendsº around the building, but certain spots
receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station
to return to normal.
*
[AS61800( ALL)08/95]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.
*
[AS61900( ALL)08/95]
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.
*
[AS62000( ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS62100( ALL)08/95]
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.

When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.
*
[CF10200( GV)12/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. A
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed
to suit your needs.

Temperature selection
*
[CF10400( GV)12/95]
The RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of
the Control are for temperature selection. The
RED button will increase the set temperature
and the BLUE button will lower the set
temperature. Pressing a button and releasing it
will change the set temperature one degree.
Holding either button in will rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to
either65ÊF (18ÊC)(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED).
Then, the set temperature will jump 5Ê and stop
at either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is maximum cooling
or 90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.

press and hold the MAX A/C and DEF Buttons
at the same time for 3/4 second. The display
will change. If you continue to press the two

Fan speed and thumbwheel
*
[CF11200( GV)12/95]
Your EATC automatically adjusts the fan speed
to the existing conditions. You must push
AUTOMATIC for automatic fan speed operation.
To control the fan speed yourself, use the
thumbwheel which will cancel the automatic fan
speed control. The thumbwheel is located at the
extreme right side of the EATC control panel. It
is a vertical control marked with a fan symbol.
Rotate up for HI and down for LO speeds.

The electronic day/night mirror will change
from the normal state to the non-glare state
when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. This
mirror functions at night, and has a limited
function at dusk or dawn. From the non-glare
state, the mirror will return to the normal state
after a short delay. The delay starts when the
glare goes away. The delay prevents excessive
changing of the mirror as traffic moves behind
and around the vehicle, or on rolling hills and
curves.
