ESP Lexus ES300 1994 Air Conditioning And Audio

AIR CONDITIONING AND AUDIO
82The automatic air conditioning automatically maintains the set
temperature.
This air conditioning features automatic fan speed and air flow
control which automatically selects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow to control the temperature. The ignition key
must be in the “ON” position.
You may use manual controls to override the automatic
settings.
(a) Climate control
SETTING OPERATION − automatic control
1. Push the “AUTO
.TEMP” knob.
Air flow quantity, switching of the diffusers, on-off of the air
conditioning, and switching of the air intake between
RECIRCULATED AIR and OUTSIDE AIR are automatically
adjusted. The operation status is shown by each indicator.
When one of the manual control buttons is depressed while
operating in automatic mode, the operation corresponding to
the button depressed is set. Other conditions continue to be
adjusted automatically.
2. Turn the “AUTO
.TEMP” knob until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The “AUTO
.TEMP” knob is used to set the desired passenger
compartment temperature. The temperature of air delivered to
the passenger compartment will be controlled automatically
according to the setting. The figures on the panel indicate
degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade.SETTING OPERATION − manual control
If manual air flow selection is desired −
The outlets from which air is delivered can be selected
manually by pushing either side of the air flow control
(MODE) button. The mode appears on the display. The
function of each mode is as follows:
FACE mode − Directs air flow at face level.
BI-LEVEL mode − Directs air flow at face level, and at
floor level for both front and rear. Except in ventilation, the air
to the floor is slightly warmer than air to the face.
FLOOR mode − Directs air flow mostly at floor level for
both front and rear.
FLOOR / WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow to the
windshield and front side windows as well as floor level for both
front and rear.
FRONT WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow mostly to
the windshield and front side windows.
When this mode is selected while operating in automatic
mode, the air conditioning is set to operate and the OUTSIDE
AIR mode is set.
If you push the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” button once again
while in the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode, the mode then
returns to the last mode used.

90FM reception tips
A vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio. Because it
moves, reception conditions are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from other
vehicles are all working against good reception. Some
conditions of FM may appear to be problems when they are
not. The following characteristics are completely normal for a
given reception area, and they do not indicate any problem
with the radio itself.
Fading and Drifting:
FM range is limited to about 40 km (25 miles), except for
some high power stations.
If a vehicle is moving away from the desired station’s
transmitter, the signal will tend to fade and / or drift. This
phenomenon is more noticeable with FM than with AM, and
is accompanied by distortion.
Fading and drifting can be minimized to a certain degree by
careful attention to fine tuning, or you should retune the
radio to another stronger station.
Static and Fluttering:
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter and
vehicle is blocked by large buildings or the like, the radio
sound may be accompanied by static or fluttering because
of the characteristics of FM. In a similar effect, a fluttering
noise is sometimes heard when driving along a tree-lined
road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjusting the
tone control for greater bass response until the disturbance
has passed.Multipath:
Because of the reflection characteristics of FM, direct and
reflected signals may reach the antenna at the same time
(multipath) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves
through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear
a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Station swapping:
When two FM stations are close to each other, and an
electronic dead spot, such as a static or multipath area,
interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger
second signal will be selected automatically until the original
one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive
away from the selected station and approach another
station with a stronger signal
