Dolby Surround Pro Logic II - HU-850 only
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is a further development of the previous version of the system and provides enhanced
sound quality. The improved sound is particularly apparent to passengers in the rear seat.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, together with a center speaker in the dashboard, offers you a sound experience very
close to a live performance. The normal left-right stereo channels are divided to left-center -right. In addition, surround
sound is produced by the rear speakers. This surround sound mirrors the ambience of a concert hall.
NOTE
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is optimized for CD mode.
When listening to FM radio stations, Dolby Surround Pro Logic II functions best in areas with strong reception. If
reception is weak, selecting 2 or 3-channel stereo may provide better sound quality.
3 channel stereo is recommended for AM and FM broadcasts.

NOTE
The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the service life of the vehicle. However, it may be
necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when
towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driving in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven short
distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C).

Engine specifications
Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is
located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

Three-way catalytic converter
Three-way catalytic converter - general information
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor
ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your
vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine
overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way
catalytic converter.
Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the
hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way
catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
