Audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system opera-
tion:
Be careful not to spill beverages over
the system.
Do not put anything other than a cas-
sette tape or disc into the slot.
Do not put anything other than an ap-
propriate disc into the DVD player.
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the system
which you are listening to. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception does
not mean there is a problem with your radio —
it is just the normal result of conditions outside
the vehicle.For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power lines
or telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther you are from a station,
the weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly as your
vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem with
your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna at the same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.Station swapping — If the FM signal you are
listening to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on the
FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked
up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere—especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to sound alternately
strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same frequency,
they can interfere with each other, making it
difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.

152 CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cassette
player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet
type is recommended.)
Use high−quality cassettes.
Low−quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound, in-
consistent playing speed, and constant
auto−reversing. They can also get stuck
or tangled in the cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been dam-
aged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player if you
are not listening to it, especially if it is hot
outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out of
direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total playing
time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes
per side). The tape used in these cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player and DVD player
from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player and DVD
player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player and DVD player, the players may
not play even though they appear to be
working. Remove the disc from the player
and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players
use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be sure to op-
erate the players correctly.
Compact disc player
Use only compact discs marked as shown
above. The following products may not be
playable on your compact disc player.
SACDs
dts−CDs
Copy−protected CDs
CD−Rs (CD−Recordable)
CD−RWs (CD−Re−writable)
CD−ROMs

NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, transparent/
translucent, low quality or labeled discs
such as those shown in the illustrations.
The use of such discs may damage the
player or changer, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
CorrectWrong
Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or oth-
er disc damage could cause the player to
skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To
see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the
light.)
Remove discs from the players when you
are not using them. Store them in their
plastic cases away from moisture, heat,
and direct sunlight.
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint−free cloth. Do not use a con-
ventional record cleaner or anti−static device.

— Manual control
SETTING OPERATION
When one of the manual control switches
is depressed while operating in automatic
mode, the operation corresponding to the
depressed switch is set. Other conditions
continue to be adjusted automatically.
(a) Air flow selection
The outlets from which air is delivered can
be selected manually by touching the
switch.
The function of each mode is as follows:
1Panel — Air flows mainly from the instru-
ment panel vents.
2Bilevel — Air flows from both the floor
vents, instrument panel vents.
When you set the temperature selector
setting at about the middle in automatic
operation, warm air flows out of the floor
vents and relatively low − temperature
air flows out of the instrument panel
vents.
3Floor — Air flows mainly from the floor
vents.
4Floor/windshield — Air flows mainly
from the floor vents, windshield vents.
Take in the fresh air with selecting the
FRESH mode by the air intake control
button.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.
(b) Fan speed control
1Fan speed at low
2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired
speed by touching the appropriate air flow
control switch.
The higher the fan speed is, the more air is de-
livered.
Pushing the “OFF” button turns off the
fan.
To remove the exterior windshield frost and in-
terior windshield fog, use the high speed set-
ting.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.
