When one of the manual control buttons is depressed while
operating in automatic mode, the operation corresponding to
the button depressed is set. Other conditions continue to be
adjusted automatically.
2. Turn the “Push AUTO
.TEMP” knob until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The “Push AUTO
.TEMP” knob is used to set the desired
passenger compartment temperature. The temperature of air
delivered to the passenger compartment will be controlled
automatically according to the setting. The figures on the panel
indicate degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade.SETTING OPERATION − manual control
If manual air flow selection is desired −
The outlets from which air is delivered can be selected manually
by pushing either side of the air flow control
(MODE)
button. The mode appears on the display. The function of each
mode is as follows:
FACE mode − Directs air flow at face level.
BI-LEVEL mode − Directs air flow at face level, and at
floor level for both front and rear. Except in ventilation, the air
to the floor is slightly warmer than air to the face.
FLOOR mode − Directs air flow mostly at floor level for
both front and rear.
FLOOR/WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow to the
windshield and front side windows as well as floor level for both
front and rear.
FRONT WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow mostly to
the windshield and front side windows.
When this mode is selected while operating in automatic
mode, the air conditioner is set to operate and the OUTSIDE
AIR mode is set.

AIR CONDITIONER AND AUDIO
71 CAUTION:
Do not use the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode during cooled
air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up and block your vision.
If quick heating or cooling is desired −
Obtain maximum power by turning the “Push AUTO
.TEMP”
knob fully. At this time, “MAX.HOT” or “MAX.COLD” will appear
on the display.
If manual fan speed control is desired −
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by pushing
either side of the fan speed control
(FAN) button. The
higher the fan speed, the more air is delivered. Pushing the
(OFF) button turns off the fan.
To remove exterior windshield frost, use the high speed
setting.
Stopping the fan −
Push the
(OFF) button.
The fan stops in automatic mode or manual mode.If manual switching of air intake is desired −
The
(AIR INTAKE) button is used to switch the air intake
between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR
mode.
With the button in the OUTSIDE AIR mode, the OUTSIDE AIR
mode indicator light will come on and the system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The
RECIRCULATED AIR mode indicator light will come on.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control button
set to OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easily.
If manual on-off of the air conditioner is desired −
Push the
(A/C) button.
The air conditioner on − off button is used to turn the air
conditioner on and off. Push the button to turn the air
conditioner on and push it again to turn the air conditioner off.
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in dry weather or
removing frost or exterior fog on the windshield, turn the air
conditioner off once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioner can be used for year-round
automatic temperature control including cooling and
dehumidifying operation.

AIR CONDITIONER AND AUDIO
77 (a) Listening to the radio
1. Push the
(AM), (FM1) or (FM2) button to turn
the radio on and to select either an AM or FM broadcast
(without compact disc player).
2. Push the
(AM) or (FM1/2) button to turn the radio
on and to select either an AM or FM broadcast (with compact
disc player).
“AM”, “FM 1” or “FM2” will appear on the display.
The radio can also be turned on by pushing the “PWR.VOL”
knob if the radio was being used when the system was turned
off.
3. Turn the “PWR.VOL” knob to adjust the volume.
4. Tune in the desired station. (See “(b) Selecting a station”.)
The radio will change automatically to stereo reception when
an AM (Motorola type) or FM stereo broadcast is being
received. At the same time, “ST” will appear on the display.
When the receiving signal gets weak, the channel separation
will automatically be reduced for lowest noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio will switch over to
monaural reception.
5. Adjust the tone and sound balance. (See “(d) Adjusting the
tone” and “(e) Adjusting the sound balance”.)
6. To turn the radio off, push the “PWR.VOL” knob.
(b) Selecting a station
Tune in the desired station using one of the following methods.
The frequency will appear on the display.Preset tuning: Use for tuning-in to a desired preset station.
Push the station selector button to which the desired station
has been preset. The radio will tune in to the station and the
button number will appear on the display. (See “(c) Presetting
a station”.)
Seek tuning: Use for automatic station search and stop.
Push the (SEEK) button until a beep is heard. The radio will
begin seeking up or down for a station of the nearest frequency
and will stop on reception. Each time you push the button,
stations will be searched out one after another.
If the radio cannot seek out any stations in one pass because
signals are too weak, the radio will begin seeking again with
sensitivity boosted for searching out weak stations. At this
time, “DX” will appear on the display.
Scan tuning: Use for scanning preset station channels or
station-to-station scanning.
Push the
(SCAN) button for less than 2 seconds. With “P.
SCAN” blinking on the display, the radio will automatically seek
out a preset station of a higher channel number in the AM/FM
mode. If there is a preset station on the channel, then the tuning
is held for 5 seconds. If there is no station on the channel, then
the tuning is only held for 1 second. If the (SCAN) button
is pushed while listening to a preset station channel, then the
scan proceeds to the next highest channel, proceeding in turn
through the 6 channels of FM1 and then the 6 channels of FM2,
then repeating the process. To continue listening to the
channel of your choice, simply push the (SCAN) button
once again.

AIR CONDITIONER AND AUDIO
78Push the (SCAN) button for longer than 2 seconds. With
“SCAN” on the display, the radio will automatically seek out a
station of higher frequency, hold it for 5 seconds and scan to
the next. To continue listening to the broadcast of your choice,
simply push the (SCAN) button once again.
If the radio scans over all frequencies without stopping
because the signals are too weak or because you leave it
scanning, the radio will begin scanning again with sensitivity
boosted for searching out weak stations. At this time, “DX” will
appear on the display.
Manual tuning: Push the (TUNE) button within 0.5
seconds. Each time you push the button, the radio will step up
or down to another frequency where stations could exist.

2. Push one of the station selector buttons and hold it until a
beep is heard. This sets the station to the button and the button
number will appear on the display.

change the preset station to a different one, follow the same
procedure.
The preset station will be cancelled when the power source is
severed (battery disconnected, burnt fuse, etc.).(d) Adjusting the tone
To adjust the low-pitched tone, push the “BASS” knob (if
depressed) and turn it.
To adjust the middle-pitched tone. push the “MID” knob (if
