B730A01L-EAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control to
the position. Be sure to return the co-
ntrol to the position when the irritationhas passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle.This will help keep the driver alert andcomfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-screen. Care should be taken that these
are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windscreen, set the air intake control to the fresh air( ) position, and fan speed to the desiredposition, turn on the air conditioning system,and adjust temperature control to desiredtemperature.

B970C02L-EAT Automatic Operation
The FATC (Full Automatic Temperature Con- trol) system automatically controls the heatingand cooling by doing as follows:
1. Push the "AUTO" switch. The indicator light will come on confirming that the Face, Floorand/or Bi-Level modes as well as the blowerspeed and air conditioner will be controlledautomatically. Press the TEMP down ( ) button 3 seconds
or more with the AMB button held down.
The display shows that the unit of tempera-
ture is adjusted to centigrade or fahrenheit
(°C °F or °F °C).

2. Push the "TEMP" button to set the desired
temperature. The temperature will increase to the maxi- mum 90°F(32°C) by pushing on the bu-tton. Each push of the button will cause thetemperature to increase by 1°F(0.5°C). The temperature will decrease to the mini- mum 62°F(17°C) by pushing on the bu-tton. Each push of the button will cause thetemperature to decrease by 1°F(0.5°C).
NOTE: If the battery has been discharged or dis- connected, the temperature mode will resetto centigrade degree. This is a normal condition and you can adjust the temperature mode from centi-grade to fahrenheit as follows; NOTE: Never place anything over the sensor which is located in the car on the instrument panelto ensure better control of the heating andcooling system.

B670C02HP-EAT Air Intake Control Switch This is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, push the
control button.
FRESH MODE ( ) : The indicator light on
the button is illuminated when the air intake control is fresh mode.
RECIRCULATION MODE ( ) : The indica-
tor light on the button is illuminated when the air
intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooledaccording to the function selected.
B980A01Y-AAT MANUAL OPERATION The heating and cooling system can be con-
trolled manually as well as by pushing buttons other than the "AUTO" button. In this state, thesystem sequentially works according to the order of buttons selected.
The function of the buttons which are not se-
lected will be controlled automatically.
Press the "AUTO" button in order to convert to
automatic control of the system. B980B01Y-AAT Fan Speed Control
Pressing the AMB button displays the ambient
temperature on the display. The fan speed can be set to the desired speed
by pressing the appropriate fan speed control button. The higher the fan speed is, the more air is delivered. Pressing the "OFF" button turns offthe fan.

the heating and cooling system. With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system heated or cooledaccording to the function selected. NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera- tion of the heating in "recirculation" modewill give rise to fogging of the windscreenand side windows and the air within thepassenger compartment will becomestale. In addition, prolonged use of theair conditioning with the "Recirculation"mode selected may result in the air withinthe passenger compartment becomingexcessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON" the air intake control will be changed to"FRESH" mode (regardless of switch po-sition). This is normal operation. The airintake control operates in "AUTO" modewhen turning the ignition to the ON posi-tion if the "AUTO" mode was used beforeshutting off the engine. B980E01L-EAT Air Flow Control

1- 74 B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o 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 keephot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases enginespeed, which in turn increases the speed ofthe 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 theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubri-cants and keep your system in peak operat-ing condition.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.Because of this, FM broadcasts generally beginto fade at short distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun-tains, or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with your radio. Thefollowing conditions are normal and do not indi-cate radio trouble:
Mountains
Buildings
Obstructed area
Unobstructed area

AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis- tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AMradio waves are transmitted at low frequency.These long, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the ionosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

FM reception
SSAR010A
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on your car.This signal is then received by the radio and sentto your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radiostation, closeness of other strong radio stationsor the presence of buildings, bridges or otherlarge obstructions in the area.

1- 76 B750B02Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the ve- hicle, noise may be produced from the audioequipment. This does not mean that somethingis wrong with the audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment. CAUTION: When using a communication system sucha cellular phone or a radio set inside thevehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted. When a cellular phone or a radioset is used with an internal antenna alone, itmay interfere with the vehicle's electricalsystem and adversely affect safe operationof the vehicle. WARNING: Don't use a cellular phone when you aredriving, you must stop at a safe place to usea cellular phone.

o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is becauseyour radio is designed to lock onto the clearestsignal. If this occurs, select another stationwith a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and a reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, select anoth-er station until the condition has passed.SSAR013A
o Fading - As your car moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, wesuggest that you select another stronger sta-tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and yourradio can disturb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treblelevel may lessen this effect until the distur-bance clears.
