Anti-Lock Brake System Active Light
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
the LOW TRAC light will
come on.
Slippery road conditions will exist if this light comes on,
so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will stay on
for a few seconds after the system stops adjusting brake
pressure.
The LOW TRAC light also comes on briefly, as a bulb
check, when the engine is started. If the light doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be there to tell you
when the system is active.
‘ This light tells.you that
your engine coolant has
, overheated or your radiator
cooling fan is not working.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull
off the road;stop’
your vehicle and turn.off the engine as soon as possible.
Hot Coolant Can Burn You Badly!
In “Problems on the~Road,” this manual shows what to
do. See “Engine Overheating”

temperature
is below 40°F (4.5"C).
UPPER: This setting brings in outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV. This setting brings in the outside air and
directs it two-ways. Half of the air is directed through
the instrument panel outlets.
Most of the remaining air is
directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents.
LOWER: This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts' near the floor. The rest comes out of the defrost
and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to the
floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window
vents.
DEF: This setting directs most of the air through the
defrost and side window vents. Some of the air goes
to
the floor ducts. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below
40°F (4.5"C).

Flow-Through Ventilation System

outside air info the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and fkont air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such- as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance
of
fogging the inside of your windows.
, When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the
mode to
FLQOR or LOWER and the fan to .the
highest speed for a few moments before driving off.
This helps clear the intake ,ducts of snow and
moisture and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
'0 Keep the air path under the front seats'clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your
vehicle.

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
EM Stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (14 to 45 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for F”,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere withveach other.
AM can also
pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level.
Tips about Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing. can adapt to higher
volumes
of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
