[AS03520(ALL)03/95]
If no stations are in memory preset, you can
activate theAuto Memory Loadfeature by
pressing and holding the ªAUTO PRESETº
buttonfor approximately three seconds.
Auto Memory Load sets all memory buttons
in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by seeking
out the first six strong stations for the
respective band and storing them in memory
buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the second set of
strong stations from the FM band.)
*
[AS03525(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.
*
[AS03530(ALL)08/95]
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
ªAUTO,º 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.
*
[AS03535(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.

[DR16800(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes,
extreme braking can make the wheels lock and
slide, causing you to lose control of the steering.
If the wheels lock, release the brake pedal and
repeat the ºsqueezeª technique.
*
[DR16900(ALL)05/95]
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake
pedal; you will wear out the linings and increase
your vehicle's stopping distance. Brake rotor
damage may also eventually occur.
*
[DR17000(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If you are driving down a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear. Do not apply
your brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.
*
[DR17100(ALL)02/95]
Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes annoyingly loud or increases
significantly in frequency of occurrence, return
the vehicle to your dealer for inspection.
[DR17200(ALL)09/89]
The high-mount brakelamp will light when you
apply the brakes.
[DR17300(ALL)05/95]Anti-lock Brake System
(If equipped)
*
[DR17325(ALL)11/94]
Your vehicle may come with the optional
anti-lock brake system. Whenever your wheels
start to lock (which could result in a skid) the
anti-lock brake system prevents the lock-up by
automatically releasing and re-applying the
brakes. The brake pedal will pulsate as a result
of the automatic releasing and re-applying of the
brakes. In spite of this improvement in braking
performance, you should continue to be cautious
in all hazardous driving situations, especially
when driving on hazardous road surfaces. Even

Driving With a Heavy Load
*
[DR21700(ALL)03/94]
There are limits to the amount of weight your
vehicle can carry. The total weight of your
vehicle, plus the weight of the passengers and
cargo, should never be more than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Also, the weight
that your vehicle carries over the front axle and
rear axle should never be more than the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the respective
axle.
%*
[DR21800(ALL)01/95]
You can find your vehicle's GVWR and GAWR
on the Safety Compliance Certification Label on
the left front door lock facing or on the door
latch post pillar.
[DR21900(ALL)10/91]
Usage of replacement tires with a higher weight
limit than originals does not increase GVWR or
GAWR. Usage of lower capacity replacement
tires may lower GVWR and GAWR limitations
and is not recommended.
*
[DR22000(ALL)02/95]
RWARNING
If the GVWR or the GAWR specified on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label
is exceeded, your vehicle may be damaged
or you may lose control and injure
someone.

[DR32400(ALL)01/95]
If you do not know the actual weights of these
items, use the following procedure to figure the
weight of a load:
[DR32500(ALL)06/94]
1. Weigh your vehicle without the driver,
passengers, and luggage. You might take
your vehicle to a shipping company or an
inspection station for trucks.
[DR32600(ALL)06/94]
2. Then weigh your vehicle with the driver,
passengers, and luggage.
*
[DR32700(ALL)01/95]
3. Subtract the first reading from the second to
figure the total weight of the load.
[DR32800(ALL)11/92]
After determining this load, you must also make
sure that the total weight of your vehicle, plus
the load it carries, is less than its GVWR. Also,
make sure that the weight your vehicle carries
over each axle is less than the GAWR for the
respective axle.
*
[DR32900(ALL)07/93]
If your vehicle exceeds the GVWR, remove cargo
from your vehicle accordingly. If your vehicle
exceeds either GAWR, shift the load or remove
cargo accordingly.
*
[DR33000(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Improper distribution of your vehicle's
load or carrying weight in excess of the
amount shown on the tire decal can cause
rapid tire wear or loss of vehicle control.
*
[DR33100(ALL)02/95]
RWARNING
If the GVWR or the GAWR specified on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label
is exceeded, your vehicle may be damaged
or you may lose control and injure
