B730A01L-AATOperation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control
switch to the position.
Be sure to return the control switch to
the position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and comfort-
able.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control switch to the fresh air
( ) position, fan speed to the desired
position, turn on the air conditioning system,
and adjust temperature control to desired
temperature.

With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn
through the heating system and heated or
cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "recircula-
tion" mode will give rise to fogging 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 "Re-
circulation" mode selected may result in
the air within the passenger compart-
ment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON"
the air intake control will change to
"FRESH" mode (regardless of the switch
position). This is normal operation. The
air intake control operates in "AUTO"
mode when turning the ignition to the
"ON" position if the "AUTO" mode was
used before shutting off the engine.

Floor-Level
When selecting the "Floor-Level", the indicator
light will come on and the air will be discharged
through the floor vents, windshield defroster
nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventila-
tor.
Bi-Level
When selecting the "Bi-Level", the indicator light
will come on and the air will be discharged
through the face vents and the floor vents. This
makes it possible to have cooler air from the
dashboard vents and warmer air from the floor
outlets at the same time.
Face-Level
When selecting the "Face-Level", the indicator
light will come on, causing air to be discharged
through the face level vents.

B980F01O
When the "Defrost" button is pressed, the "Fresh"
mode will be automatically selected and the air
will be discharged through the windshield de-
froster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side
ventilator.
To assist in defrosting, the air conditioning will
operate if ambient temperature is higher than
32°F(0°C) and automatically turns off if the
ambient temperature drops below 32°F(0°C).
B740D01Y-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 conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, 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 conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
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 lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
Floor-Defrost Level
When selecting the "Floor-Defrost Level", the
indicator light will come on and the air will be
discharged through the windshield defroster
nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle
and side ventilator.

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

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-
cies. These long, low frequency radio waves
can follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal coverage. AM 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 possible quality repro-
duction. 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, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the presence of
buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-
cies and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
