GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with the vehicle.
NS vehicles are equipped with an Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center
located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio sta-
tion sets and clock will require resetting.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isrequired or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehicles are
equipped with a capacitor to suppress radio fre-
quency interference/static.
Capacitors are mounted in various locations inter-
nal to the generator, instrument cluster and wind-
shield wiper motor.
To eliminate radio interference, ground straps are
used in different areas of the vehicle. These ground
circuits should be securely tightened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very small high frequency electrical signals to ground
and require clean surface contact area. The radio
ground is supplied from the instrument panel har-
ness and is attached to the rear of the radio. Some
engines have other ground straps to eliminate fur-
ther radio interference:
²Radio chassis to instrument panel structure
²Engine to dash panel
²Engine to chassis
²A/C h valve to dash panel
Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the
interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated
spark plug wires should be replaced.
RADIOS
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This group covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and
Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model.
Whenever feasible, the RHD versions of affected
vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-
image of the LHD versions. While most of the illus-
trations used in this group represent only the LHD
version, the diagnostic and service procedures out-
lined can generally be applied to either version.
Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as
LHD or RHD, if a special illustration or procedure
was/is required.
The speed control system used with the 2.5L diesel
engine is basically identical to the system used with
gasoline powered engines. Features unique to the
diesel engine will be covered in this section.
²Models equipped with the 2.5L diesel engine do
not use a vacuum reservoir to retain engine vacuum
for speed control operation. There are no vaccum-op-
erated speed control servos used in vehicles with the
2.5L diesel engine.
²The range of the speed control system operation
is restricted to speeds between 56 km/h (35 MPH) to
145 km/h (90 MPH).
²Inputs to the MSA that allow speed control oper-
ation are from the vehicle speed sensor and the
Speed Control Switch.²Two separate speed control switch modules are
mounted on the steering wheel to the left and right
side of the driver's airbag module. Switch features
are:
a. Within the two switch modules, fivemomen-
tarycontact switches, supporting seven different
speed control functions are used.
b. The outputs from these switches are filtered
into one input. The MSA determines which output
has been applied throughresistive multiplexing.
The input circuit voltage is measured by the MSA
to determine which switch function has been
selected.
c. A speed control indicator lamp, located on the
instrument panel cluster is energized by the MSA
via the CCD Bus. This occurs when speed control
system power has been turned ON, and the engine
is running.
d. The two switch modules are labeled: ON/OFF,
SET, RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on speed control switch functions and setting pro-
cedures. The individual switches cannot be
repaired. If one individual switch fails, the switch
module must be replaced.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on the
left side of the steering column just ahead of the
steering wheel. The signals are automatically turned
off by a canceling cam (two lobes molded to the clock-
spring mechanism). The cam comes in contact with
the cancel actuator on the turn signal (multi-func-
tion) switch assembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on
the cancel actuator, returns the switch to the OFF
position.
Lane change signaling is actuated by applying par-
tial turn signal stalk movement toward the direction
desired until the indicator lamps flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the switch stalk is released
the stalk will spring back into the neutral position
turning OFF the turn signal.
With the ignition switch ON and the turn signal
switch stalk actuated left or right, current flows
through the:
²Combination flasher
²Multi-function switch
²Turn indicator lamp
²Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 0.5 mile with the turn sig-
nal ON.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher is a
module providing the vehicle with turn signal and
hazard warning functions and has been designed
with internal relays to take advantage of low current
switching requirements in the vehicle. It is plugged
into the Junction Block at position 4 (Fig. 1), where
all wiring associated with its operation is terminated.The Junction Block is adjacent to and left of the
steering column of the vehicle.
To gain access to the flasher, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker. Refer to
