Interior Features
■Control Switches
●When the mode is set to or with the fan control dial in a posi-
tion other than 0 and the temperature control dial in the maximum cold posi-
tion, the air intake selector switches to the recirculated air position and the
A/C turns on automatically. If A/C is not desired, press the A/C switch to turn
it off.
● The mode selector dial can be set at the intermediate positions ( )
between each mode. Set the dial to an intermediate position if you want to
split the airflow between the two modes.
● For example, when the mode selector dial is at the position between
the and positions, airflow from the floor vent is less than that of
the
c position.
● The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperature
approaches 32 °F (0 °C).
WARNING
■Do not use the recirculated air po sition in cold or rainy weather:
Using the recirculated air position in cold or rainy weather is dangerous as it
will cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could
lead to a serious accident.
■ Do not use the position in cold or rainy weather
Using the position in cold or ra iny weather is dangerous as it will
cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could
lead to a serious accident.

NOTICE
If the air conditioner is used while driving up long hills or in heavy traffic,
monitor the engine coolant temperature warning light to see if it is illumi-
nated or flashing ( →P. 148).
The air conditioner may cause engine overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or flashing, turn the air conditioning off ( →P. 502).

control dial to the extreme hot position, and the fan control dial to position 4.
● If warm air is desired at the floor, set the mode selector dial to the
position.
● In the or position, the air conditioner is automatically turned on
and the outside air position is automatically selected to defrost the wind-
shield. In the or position, the outside air position cannot be

Windshield Defrosting and Defogging
WARNING
■Do not defog the windshield using the position with the tempera-
ture control set to the cold position
Using the position with the temperature control set to the cold posi-
tion is dangerous as it will cause the outside of the windshield to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident. Set
the temperature control to the hot or warm position when using the
position.

Interior Features
Operate the air conditioner in cool or cold weather to help defog the
windshield and side windows.Set the mode selector dial to the desired position.
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position.
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C switch.
■Dehumidifying
One of the functions of the air conditioner is dehumidifying the air and, to use
this function, the temperature does not have to be set to cold. Therefore, set
the temperature control dial to the desired position (hot or cold) and turn on
the air conditioner when you want to dehumidify the cabin air.

Antenna
The antenna is embedded into the window glass.
Embedded Type (if equipped)
NOTICE
When washing the inside of the window which has an antenna, use a soft
cloth dampened in lukewarm water, gently wiping the antenna lines. Use of
glass cleaning products could damage the antenna.●To prevent damage to the antenna, remove it before entering a car wash
facility or passing beneath a low overhead clearance.
● Be careful around the antenna when removing snow from the roof. Other-
wise the antenna could be damaged.

Operating Tips for Audio System
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
Do not insert any objects, other
than CDs, into the slot.
●To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the engine is not running.
● If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system, however, this does not indicate that
the system has been damaged.
WARNING
■ Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is stopped
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehicle. Adjusting
the audio while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your
attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking down at them so that you can keep your
maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle.
NOTICE
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

4-2. Audio System
■AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and
bounce off the ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may sometimes be picked up on the
same frequency at the same time.Ionosphere
Station 2
Station 1
■FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 25 - 30 miles (40 - 50 km)
from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into two channels, stereo FM has even less range than mon-
aural (non-stereo) FM.FM Station

Interior Features
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light
because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon.
Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.Ionosphere

60 - 120 miles (100 - 200 km)
Obstruction
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM reception. High humidity
will cause poor reception. However, cloudy days may provide better
reception than clear days.

4-2. Audio System
●Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by obstructions, it is possible
to receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be
heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close proximity to the transmitter.
Direct
Reflected wave
● Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmit-
ter move in straight lines and
become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, moun-
tains, and other obstacles.
When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the
reception conditions may
change suddenly, resulting in
annoying noise.
● Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast
signals become weak
because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in
such fringe areas is charac-
terized by sound breakup.
