Setting the station memory preset buttons
[AS03100(ALL)06/95]
Your radio is equipped with 6 station memory buttons. These
buttons can be used to select up to 6 preset AM stations and 12
FM stations (6 in FM1 and 6 in FM2). Follow the easy steps
below to set these buttons to the desired frequencies:
*
[AS03200(ALL)03/96]1.
Select a band, then select a frequency.
*
[AS03400(ALL)10/95]2.
Press one of the memory preset buttons and hold the button
until the sound returns. That station is now held in memory
on that button.
*
[AS03500(ALL)10/95]3.
Follow the two steps above for each station memory preset
button you want to set.
[AS03550(ALL)09/95]
NOTE: If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the Station
Memory Preset buttons will need to be reset.

Using the Automatic Memory Store feature (Supersound
only)
[AS03900(ALL)07/95]
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the ªAUTO SETº
button once. Your radio will set the first six strong stations
of the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory
buttons. The display will show ªAUTO,º then run through
the frequencies, stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is now in the
ªAUTOº mode and this display will show ªAUTOº each
time a preset selected by ªAUTO SETº is activated.
[AS03950(ALL)05/96]
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually set strong
stations into your memory buttons without losing your
existing memory presets, which is especially helpful while
traveling. Your radio will automatically set your memory
buttons to the strong local stations so you don't have to
continually manually tune to existing stations.

There are several air outlets on the instrument panel. There are
side outlets near the driver's window and passenger's window,
two center outlets, floor outlets, and windshield outlets. The
direction and amount of air flow from the center and side
instrument panel outlets can be adjusted for personal comfort.
[CF02050(ALL)03/96]
NOTE: Selection of the recirculated air mode under cold and
humid conditions may result in window fogging due
to entrapped humidity within the vehicle. To
counteract this circumstance, switch to the Defrost
mode and set fan speed to 3 or 4. Adjust air
temperature to a ªwarmº instead of ªhotº setting and
deactivate the air intake selector.

Heating and air conditioning climate control system panel
[CF04600(ALL)01/96]
The standard heating system and the heating portion of the
heating and air conditioning system are essentially identical.
There is one exception, however; the air conditioning
compressor may automatically engage when the Defrost position
is selected to aid in defogging and defrosting the inside glass.
When Defrost is selected, the A/C compressor will
automatically operate when the outside temperature is above
approximately40ÊF (4ÊC),whether or not the A/C button is
illuminated. Manual selection and illumination of the A/C
button in defrost mode does not override the automatic
compressor operation discussed above. Refer to the heating
system operating instructions covered previously for a more
detailed explanation of heating system operation.

Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter
but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity.

[CF06000(ALL)01/96]
To cool your vehicle using outside air:
[CF06100(ALL)01/96]1.
Turn the air intake selector button off (the outside air
position). The air conditioning unit directs outside air
through the instrument panel registers.
[CF06200(ALL)01/96]2.
Press one of the function selector buttons.
[CF06300(ALL)01/96]3.
Press the A/C button. The indicator light on the A/C button
will illuminate.

Turn the temperature control knob to COOL.
[CF06500(ALL)01/96]5.
Turn the fan speed knob to the position of your choice.
[CF06600(ALL)01/96]6.
Make sure the registers in the instrument panel are open.
[CF06700(ALL)01/96]
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from
the air outlets when using the A/C with outside air. Correct
this by switching to recirculated air with the A/C button.
[CF06800(ALL)04/96]
Ventilating your vehicle with outside air
[CF06900(ALL)01/96]
In mild weather, you can ventilate your vehicle with outside air.
If the outside temperature is less than70ÊF (21ÊC), you can add
cool air to your vehicle without using air conditioning. You will
get better fuel economy this way.
[CF07000(ALL)01/96]
The procedure for ventilating your vehicle with the standard
heating system or with the air conditioning system is the same.
Refer to the previous section for instructions on how to ventilate
with outside air.
