AVG ECON Ð Average Fuel EconomySelect this function to display your average fuel
economy in miles per gallon or liters per 100
kilometers. Your message center computes this
figure using the distance traveled and fuel used
information. If you want to reset this function, press
the RESET button while the average fuel economy
feature is displayed.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by
dividing miles traveled by gallons used, your figure
may be different than displayed because of:q
Your vehicle not being perfectly level during
fill-up
q
Differences in the automatic shut-off points on
the fuel pumps at service stations
q
Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up
to another
q
Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest
0.1 gallon (liters) on the fuel gauge.

28INST ECON Ð Instantaneous Fuel
EconomySelect this function to calculate your instantaneous
fuel economy. Your instantaneous fuel economy is
the fuel economy you get at any particular moment.
For example, you can see what your fuel economy
is in heavy traffic or on an open highway.
Your vehicle must be moving to calculate fuel
economy. When your vehicle is not moving,
instantaneous fuel economy is displayed at 0 miles
per gallon or 99 liters per 100 kilometers. When
you are moving, the display may read anything
between 0 and 99 miles/gallon (1 to 99 L/km).
Instantaneous fuel economy cannot be reset.

while the stations are being set in the memory
buttons.
NOTE: If there are less than six strong stations in
the frequency band, the remaining unfilled buttons

band. After all stations have been filled, the radio
will begin playing the station stored on memory
button 1.
To deactivate the Auto Memory Store mode and
return to the manually-set memory button stations,
simply push the ªAUTOSETº button. Display will
show ªAUTOº then ªOFFº. The next time Auto
Memory Store is activated on that band, the radio

52When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most prominent
in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend
circuit has been incorporated into this system. This
feature automatically switches a weak stereo signal
to a clearer monaural signal, which improves the
quality of reception.
Several sources of static are normal conditions on
AM frequencies. These can be caused by power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although thedisplayed frequency does not change. While passing
the tower, the station may switch back and forth a
few times before returning to the original station.
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas), several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable
station changing, mixing and distortion.
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and
FM bands has been incorporated into this system to
reduce strong signal capture and overload.
All About Radio FrequenciesThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies that
AM and FM radio stations may use for their
broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530,
540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9,
88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
