Fuel Gauge
[IS07000(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel you have
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly
while the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. An accurate reading may be
obtained when the vehicle is on smooth, level ground.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
[IS07300(ALL)05/96]
This gauge is accompanied by a thermometer symbol. It
indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the
ignition is in the ON position.
[IS07400(ALL)01/96]
As the engine warms up, the pointer will move to the
NORMAL band. When you are driving in heavy traffic or
experiencing stop-and-go conditions in hot weather, the pointer
may move to the very top of the normal band.
[IS07500(ALL)01/96]
Under any circumstances, if the pointer moves past the upper
limit of the NORMAL band, the engine is overheating and
engine damage may occur.

Fuel and distance computer
[IS10600(ALL)01/96]
The fuel and distance computer has five buttons to operate the
different functions.
[IS10700(ALL)01/96]
SELECT Ð The SELECT button lets you choose the functions
of the fuel computer. Each time you press the SELECT
button, the computer advances to the next choice on the
menu. After it reaches the last choice on the menu, it returns
to the top of the menu.
[IS10800(ALL)01/96]
RESET Ð The RESET button is used to reset the Average
Economy function. Press the SELECT button until the
Average Economy function is displayed. Then press the
RESET button.
[IS10900(ALL)01/96]
ENG/MET Ð The ENG/MET button allows you to change
your gauges from English to metric units or from metric to
English units. The displays remain in the units you choose
until you change them again, even after you turn off the
vehicle and start it again.
[IS11000(ALL)01/96]
TRIP/RST Ð The TRIP/RST button is used to reset the trip
odometer mileage. Press the OD/TRIP button until the trip
odometer mileage is displayed. Then press the TRIP/RST
button.

OUTSIDE TEMP
[IS11500(ALL)01/96]
This feature lets you display the temperature of the air outside
of your vehicle.
[IS11550(ALL)01/96]
The fuel and distance computer is designed to prevent
inaccurate temperature display readings. For example, a sudden
temperature change (such as driving out of a cool garage on a
warm day), may show outside temperature display readings
which are lower than expected. The accurate temperature will
be displayed after the vehicle has reached the outside
temperature and is driven at speeds of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
greater.
[IS11575(ALL)01/96]
In the event of a decrease in the outside air temperature, there
will be no delay in an accurate temperature display.

INST ECONOMY
[IS11700(ALL)01/96]
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 the highway.
[IS11800(ALL)01/96]
Factors such as braking, acceleration, and road terrain affect
your fuel economy.
[IS11900(ALL)01/96]
To display instantaneous fuel economy, press the SELECT
button until the menu displays INST ECONOMY. Your vehicle
must be moving for the computer to calculate a fuel economy
greater than zero.
[IS12000(ALL)01/96]
AVG ECONOMY
[IS12100(ALL)01/96]
The average fuel economy is an overall average of your fuel
economy taken from the last time the reset button was pushed.
The computer takes an average of all the types of driving you
have done since the RESET button was pressed (highway, city,
heavy traffic), and figures out the average fuel economy. You
can calculate your average fuel economy as often as you like.
For example, you can calculate the average fuel economy for
each tank of fuel or for every day.

To display the average fuel economy:
[IS12300(ALL)01/96]1.
Press the SELECT button until the menu displays AVG
ECONOMY.
[IS12400(ALL)01/96]2.
You will probably display the average fuel economy for each
tank of fuel or for each trip you take. Each time you want to
recalculate the average fuel economy, you need to press the
RESET button. The average fuel economy must be displayed
to reset the fuel computer.
[IS12500(ALL)01/96]
The best time to reset the AVG ECONOMY is when you fill
the fuel tank or at the beginning of a trip.
[IS12600(ALL)01/96]
TO EMPTY
[IS12700(ALL)01/96]
The Distance to Empty function tells you approximately how
many miles or kilometers you can drive until you run out of
fuel.
[IS12800(ALL)01/96]
To see the Distance to Empty, press the SELECT button until
the menu displays TO EMPTY. The fuel computer displays
approximate distance to empty until you select another function.
[IS12900(ALL)01/96]
To ensure accuracy, turn the ignition to the OFF position when
you fill the fuel tank.

a time (FM changes in increments of 200 kHz; AM changes
in increments of 10 kHz) by pressing the ªTUNEº button. To
change frequencies quickly, press andhold downeither the
right or left side of the ªTUNEº button.
[AS02300(ALL)05/94]

Using the ªSCANº button to scan radio stations
[AS02700(ALL)05/96]
Pressing the ªSCANº button once enters the scan mode by
stopping on each listenable station for a five-second
sampling. The radio band (AM/FM1/FM2) in the display
window will blink to indicate that the radio is scanning.

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.
