Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system will go off after a four-minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
PARK (P), the system will only cyclc for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again? press the switch. It will go on for two-minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pressing the switch again.
Use
the defroster or defog features of the Electronic Climate Control to
clear fog from the windshield as previously described. In warm weather
the heated windshield system helps keep the vehicle's interior cool by
blocking much of the sun's heat producing radiation. The system's solar
control properties
also help reduce intcrior fading.
There
is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore,
the hcated windshield will reduce the
useful range of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however, FM signals will only
rclich about 10 to 40 miles ( 16 to 65 km), Ell1 buildings or hills may
interfere with
FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping. crackling
or momentary hissing noises.
Y
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer
range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other. (FCC regdations require some AM radio stations to reduce
signal strength
at nieh to mhimize interference.) AM can pick up noise
from things like
stohs and powcr lines. Try reciucing the treble to reduce
this noise if you ever gct it.
