RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio
and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies
are:
AM 530, 540±1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9±107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
²Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by ªsignal modulation.º Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
²Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle's
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its ªshadowº) returns your reception to normal.
²Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it
will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

Turning the system off
Press OFF. The outside temperature
(EXT) function (if selected) will
continue to operate until the
ignition is turned off.
DATC automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired
temperature. The selected
temperature will appear in the
display window, and an indicator
above the AUTO control will light.
The DATC system will either heat or
cool the vehicle to achieve the
selected temperature. The system
will automatically determine the fan
speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is
required.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs
the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some
airflow out of the defroster, demister outlets and outer instrument panel
registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is
not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed
and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor. In
approximately 3
1¤2minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase
and the airflow location will change to the floor area.
When in AUTO mode, the DATC system automatically controls the air
conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and
determines whether outside or recirculated air is required. Manual
control of the A/C, air recirculation and fan speed are available in auto
mode.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging), the manual override
controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To return to
full automatic control, press the AUTO control.

When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. You may override the automatic recirculated air
operation at any time. To manually control the recirculated air operation
and cancel automatic recirculated air operation, press the recirculated air
control. When the recirculated air is manually controlled in the AUTO
mode, the AUTO indicator light will remain lit. To return to full automatic
recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp
conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear
windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DATC system will
turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all operating
override controls. More than one override control indicator may turn on
when an override control is selected.
The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except OFF.
However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 2É C (35É F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.

added customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may
be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers.
(floor) Ð Distributes air through the front and rear seat floor ducts.
The system will allow some airflow out the defroster ducts, the demister
outlets and outer instrument panel registers.
(floor/defrost) Ð Distributes air through the windshield defroster
ducts, the demister outlets and the front and rear seat floor ducts. The
system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers.
When floor/defrost is selected, if the outside temperature is about 2É C
(35É F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce window fogging. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the windshield defroster ducts. When floor/defrost is selected,
the system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window
fogging. Recirculation and A/C override controls can be selected.
(defrost) Ð Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the
outer instrument panel registers. If the outside temperature is about 2É C
(35É F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce window fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not
illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override
controls cannot be selected.
²Turn DATC off
OFF-Outside air is shut out. The fan, heating and air conditioning will
not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected
with the ignition in the RUN position.
Heated wiper rest
(heated wiper rest) Ð Located at the base of the windshield, this
feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front
defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When
activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the
chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.
