124 (b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is
largely determined by the mix of the treble,
midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usually
sound better with different mixes of treble,
mid−range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.
Touching the “SOUND” switch displayed
on the screen at the audio control mode
will display the sound control mode. Ad-
just the tone and balance as follows.
To adjust the tone, touch the “+” or “”
switch on the screen. To adjust the bal-
ance between the front and rear speakers,
touch the “FRONT” or “REAR” switch on
the screen, and to adjust the balance be-
tween the left and right, touch the “L” or
“R” switch on the screen.
“BASS”: Adjusts low−pitched tones.
“MID”: Adjusts mid−pitched tones.
“TREB”: Adjusts high−pitched tones.
As the yellow display goes up, each tone is
more emphasized.(c) Your radio antenna
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on the in-
side of the rear quarter windows.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear window will
noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the
radio.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape
should face to the right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part
of the cassette player. Do not insert any-
thing other than cassette tapes into the
slot.

126
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the sta-
tion band or counterclockwise to step
down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the
amount of channel separation to prevent the
weak signal from creating noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception. In this case,
“ST” disappears from the screen.
(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the switches (1 — 6) you
want and hold it until a beep is heard. This
sets the station to the switch and the fre-
quency appears on the switch.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can store
up to 6 stations. To change the preset station
to a different one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when
the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.(c) Selecting a station
Tune in the desired station using one of the
following methods.
Preset tuning: Touch the switch (1 — 6) for
the station you want. The switch is high-
lighted in green and the station frequency ap-
pears on the screen.
Seek tuning: Push the “SEEK·TRACK” but-
ton on either side. The radio will begin seek-
ing up or down for a station of the nearest fre-
quency and will stop on reception. Each time
you push the button, the stations will be
searched automatically one after another.
To scan all the frequencies: Touch the
“SCAN” switch on the screen or push the
“SCAN” button briefly. “SCAN” appears on
the screen. The radio will find the next station
and stay there for a few seconds, and then
scan again. To select a station, touch the
“SCAN” switch or push the “SCAN” button
again.

(c) Air intake selector
1RECIRCULATED — Recirculates the
air inside the vehicle.
2FRESH — Draws outside air into the
system.
Each time you push the air intake control
button.
The mode changes in order from the RECIR-
CULATED mode to FRESH mode, then back
to the RECIRCULATED mode.
Each indicator light shows which mode is now
selected.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired,
push the air intake selector button for RECIR-
CULATED mode.For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake
selector button set to the FRESH mode. If re-
circulated air is used during heating, the win-
dows will fog up more easily.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the
air intake mode may change automatically to
the FRESH mode depending on the condition
of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient temperature
is low, the air intake mode may change auto-
matically to the FRESH mode. This is not a
malfunction.
When the air conditioning is ON, if the engine
coolant temperature becomes extremely
high, the RECIRCULATED mode is automati-
cally selected. This is not a malfunction.
When the engine coolant temperature is low-
ered, the previous mode resumes.(d) Onoff of the air conditioning
Touch the “A/C” switch.
To turn the air conditioning on and touch it
again to turn the air conditioning off.
The air conditioning does not work if the out-
side temperature is lowered down to around
0C (32F).
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in
dry weather or removing frost or exterior fog
on the windshield, turn the air conditioning off
once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioning can be
used for year−round automatic temperature
control including cooling and dehumidifying
operation.
If the air conditioning compressor does not
operate, the display light of the “A/C” switch
will blink. If the display light of the “A/C” switch
blinks even when the “A/C” switch is touched
again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest dealer.
If the engine coolant temperature becomes
extremely high, the air conditioning may shut
off automatically to resolve emergency situa-
tion for engine cooling. This is not a malfunc-
tion. When the engine coolant temperature is
lowered, the air conditioning comes on auto-
matically.

162
— Outside temperature
display
Outside temperature is displayed on the
screen.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−30C (−22F) up to 50C (122F). If the
temperature does not appear on the display
or it shows “− − −”, take your vehicle to your
dealer.
— Operating tips
To cool off your vehicle after it has been
parked in the hot sun, drive with the win-
dows open for a few minutes. After the ex-
cess heat has blown away, close the win-
dows. This vents the hot air, allowing the
air conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
Make sure the air intake grilles in front of
the windshield are not blocked (by leaves
or snow, for example).
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check
the side vents. (See “(e) Side vents”.)
On humid days, do not blow cold air on the
windshield. The windshield could fog up
because of the difference in air tempera-
ture on the inside and outside of the wind-
shield.
Keep the area under the front seats clear
to allow air to circulate throughout the ve-
hicle.
On cold days, set the fan speed to high for
a minute to help clear the intake ducts of
snow or moisture. This can reduce the
amount of fogging on the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all win-
dows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is
still drawn into the vehicle after closing the
windows, it is recommended that the air in-
take control button be set to the FRESH
mode to take in the fresh air and the fan
speed selector to any setting except OFF.
If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty condi-
tions, it is recommended that the air intake
be temporarily set to the RECIRCULATED
mode, which will close off the outside pas-
sage and prevent outside air and dust
from entering the vehicle interior.

164 For manual operation —
Fan speed — To the desired fan speed
Temperature — Towards high temperature
to heat;
low temperature to cool
Air intake — FRESH (outside air)
Air flow — WINDSHIELD
When the windshield air flow button is
pushed, air flows mainly from the windshield
vents and turns on the defogging function with
the purpose of clearing the front view.
Pushing this button once again returns the air
flow mode to the last one used.
This button allows the air intake to select
FRESH mode automatically. This is to clean
up the front view more quickly.
It is not possible to return to RECIRCULATE
in this mode.
Touch the “A/C” switch for dehumidified heat-
ing or cooling. This setting clears the front
view more quickly.
On humid days, do not blow cold air on the
windshield — the difference between the
outside and inside temperatures could
make the fogging worse.— The outside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:
For automatic operation —
Temperature — Towards high temperature
Air intake — FRESH (outside air)
Air flow — WINDSHIELDFor manual operation —
Fan speed — To the desired fan speed
Temperature — Towards high temperature
Air intake — FRESH (outside air)
Air flow — WINDSHIELD
When the windshield air flow button is
pushed, air flows mainly from the windshield
vents and turns on the defrosting function with
the purpose of clearing the front view.
Pushing this button once again returns the air
flow mode to the last one used.
This button allows the air intake to select
FRESH mode automatically. This is to clean
up the front view more quickly.
It is not possible to return to RECIRCULATE
in this mode.
Touch the “A/C” switch for dehumidified heat-
ing or cooling. This setting clears the front
view more quickly.
To heat the vehicle interior while defrost-
ing the windshield, choose floor/wind-
shield air flow.
— Side vents
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check
the side vents. The side vents may be
opened or closed as shown.
When outside temperature is cold like a winter
season, air flow temperature from the side
vents may not be warmed up enough for a
while until that the engine coolant tempera-
ture becomes high enough.
If air flow from the side vents is not satisfacto-
ry, air flow direction can be changed manually
by adjusting the vents fin direction or the vents
may be closed.
