NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the intake air system in "
"
mode will give rise to misting of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the ""
mode selected may result in the air within
the passenger compartment becoming
excessively dry.

NOTE:When the A/C is operated continuously
on the floor-defrost level (
) or defrost
level (
), it may cause fog to form on
the exterior windshield. If this occurs,
set the air flow control to the face level
position ( ) and fan speed control to the
low position.
To remove the frost or exterior fog
on the windshield:o Set the air flow control to the defrost

(If Installed)
Air Conditioning SwitchThe air conditioning is turned on by push-
ing the A/C button on the heating/air
conditioning control panel.
B740B02A-AATAir Conditioning Operation
(Cooling)To use the air conditioning to cool the
interior:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch by
pushing in on the switch.
The air conditioning indicator light
should come on at the same time.
o Set the temperature control to "Cool".
("Cool" provides maximum cooling. The
temperature may be moderated by
moving the control toward "Warm".)
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed. For greater cooling, turn the fan
control to one of the higher speeds or
temporarily select the (
)position
on the air intake control.B740B01MC-D B730A01L-AAT
Operation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the ven-
tilation system, temporarily set the air
intake control at the (
) position.
Be sure to return the control to the (
) position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle.
This will help keep the driver alert and
comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be taken
that these are not blocked by leaves,
snow, ice or other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air (
) position, fan speed to
the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust tem-
perature control to desired tempera-
ture.

B740D01A-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condition-
ing system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traf-
fic, shift to a lower gear.
This increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi-
tioning off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods
when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning once
every month for a few minutes.
This will help circulate the lubricants
and keep your system in peak operat-
ing condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Push the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control switch to the
fresh air (
) position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to pro-
vide the desired amount of warmth.

CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles
(15,000 km) or once a year. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty, rough roads, more
frequent climate control air filter in-
spections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased,
the system should be checked at an
authorized dealer.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short
distances from the station. Also, FM sig-
nals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions. These
can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a prob-
lem exists with your radio. The following
conditions are normal and do not indicate
radio trouble: AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
age.
B750A02A-AATHow Car Audio WorksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your car. This signal is
then received by the radio and sent to
your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.
