[AS30690(R)05/96]
Press the ºCLKª button to display time. The time will continue
to be displayed until a radio or tape function is chosen. After
approximately 10 seconds, the time will again appear in the
display. To display radio or tape information only, press the
ºCLKª button a second time.
[AS30700(R)05/96]
NOTE: The clock can be displayed or set whether the ignition
is on or off.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS30760(R)05/96]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:
*
[AS30770(R)05/96]1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS30780(R)05/96]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM
signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this
distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal
becomes weaker.

[AS30790(R)05/96]2.
Terrain
*
[AS30800(R)05/96]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS30810(R)05/96]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ºbendsª around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ºshadowª of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS30820(R)05/96]
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.
*
[AS30830(R)05/96]
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.
*
[AS30840(R)05/96]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS30850(R)05/96]
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.

Turn signal lever and functions
*
[CF21800(R)08/95]
If the turn indicator light in the instrument panel does not
illuminate or remains on (doesn't flash) when you signal a turn,
the turn signaling system is malfunctioning. Have this condition
corrected as soon as possible, but make sure that you use the
accepted hand signals in the meantime.
