TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system's tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
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 differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
CoupeÐ
Your vehicle has a glass antenna (built±in
on the rear window glass).
NOTICE
Attaching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the rearglass will noticeably reduce the sensi-tivity of the radio.
ConvertibleÐ
Your vehicle has a mast type power an-
tenna.
To lower a power antenna, turn off the
audio system by pushing ªPWR´VOLº, or
turn the ignition key to ªLOCKº.
The power antenna automatically retracts
when the radio mode is switched off to
turn on the cassette tape player or com-
pact disc player. YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than cas-sette tapes into the slot, or the tapeplayer may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side

On models with the compact disc auto
changer, next disc will be played from
track 1.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Donot insert anything except a compactdisc into the slot.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm

AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps control the spinning of the
front wheels which may occur when ac-
celerating on slippery road surfaces,
thus assisting driver to control the driv-
ing power of the front wheels. When
you turn the ignition switch on, the
traction control system always turns on
automatically, and the slip indicator
light and ªTRAC OFFº indicator/warning
light will come on. The indicator lights
will go off after a few seconds.

driving so that it can operate when
needed. When traction control is ap-
plied, the slip indicator light blinks.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the traction
control system is in the self±check mode,
and does not indicate malfunction. When
the traction control system is operating,
you may feel vibration or noise of your
vehicle, caused by operation of the
brakes. This indicates the system is func-
tioning properly.When getting the vehicle out of mud or
new snow, etc. the traction control system
will help operate to prevent the wheels
from spinning.

system by pushing the ªTRAC OFFº
switch. The ªTRAC OFFº indicator/warn-
ing light will come on. Pushing the
ªTRAC OFFº switch a second time
