WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, unreliable
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the MAX mode for long
periods as it may cause the interiorair to become stale and the windows
to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving, in order that full atten-
tion may be given to the driving
operation.
The cabin air filter (if so equipped) requires
periodic maintenance. See the ``Do it your-
self'' section for additional information.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, below the radio. TheEATC operates only when the ignition is
turned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature you
select and controls the airflow for your com-
fort. It also allows you to override the auto-
matic operation with manual function selec-
tor buttons.
To turn the EATC on, push either the AU-
TOMATIC button or any of the six function
selector buttons:
,,,,or MAX. To turn the EATC off, press
the OFF button.
When you select AUTOMATIC, the system
determines fan speed, airflow location and
discharge air temperature. When one of the
function selector buttons is pressed, your
selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed and discharge air temperature
remain automatic. You can override fan
speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel
located at the extreme right of the
control panel.
The display window indicates the status of
the system. It shows the selected tempera-
ture and AUTO when in the AUTOMATIC
mode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a
is shown.

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is
a data information service transmitted by
some radio stations on the FM band (not
AM band) encoded within a regular radio
broadcast. Most RDS stations are currently
in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.cMusic or programming type such as
``Classical'', ``Country'', or ``Rock''.
cText Messages such as telephone num-
bers for dial in requests, advertisements
and other simple messages.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.
Using RDS
To turn RDS on push the RDS/CLK button
until RDS OFF is displayed, then press the
SEL button until RDS ON is displayed.
To change display type turn RDS ON then
use the SEL button to choose between:
cSHOW TYPE - Music or program type.
cSHOW NAME - Station name or call-
sign.
cSHOW TEXT - Text Messages such as
telephone numbers for dial in requests,
advertisements and other simple mes-
sages.
cSHOW NONE - No text display.
To choose traffic reports press the
RDS/CLK button until TRAFFIC OFF is dis-
played, the use then SEL button to choose

TRAFFIC ON, then use the seek or scan
control to look for a station that may transmit
traffic reports, the radio will display a
``TRAF'' icon to show it is in traffic mode and
tuned to a station that may transmit traffic
reports. If the radio searches through the
whole band and then returns to the previous
station it was originally playing there are no
stations in the area that are transmitting
traffic reports.
If a cassette or compact disc is being played
while the traffic option is on and the station
previously tuned into displays a traffic bul-
letin the radio will pause the cassette or
compact disc and broadcast the bulletin,
then resume playing the cassette or com-
pact disc.
Using RDS to search for program-
ming type
Certain areas have a limited number of
stations that transmit RDS. Many stations
transmit call letters and frequencies only.
Searching or scanning by program type
may yield a limited number of selections.
Press the RDS/CLK button until FIND
CLASSIC is displayed, then use the SEL
button to choose between CLASSIC,COUNTRY, INFO, JAZZ, OLDIES, R&B,
RELIGUS (Religious), ROCK, SOFT and
TOP40. When you have chosen a program
type, use the SEEK, SCAN, or AUTOSET
controls to look for a station transmitting that
kind of program. If the radio searches
through the whole band and then returns to
the previous station it was originally playing
there are no stations in the area that are
transmitting that type of programming.

san recommends using cassette tapesof 60 minutes or shorter in length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture, and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
cDo not use cassettes with loose labels
which are peeling and loose. If used
the label could jam in the player.
cIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly
around the hubs. Loose tape may
cause tape jamming and wavering
sound quality.
cOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
collect a tape coating residue as the
tape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause weak or wavering
sound, and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape. If
the residue is not removed periodi-
