Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
*
[AS01600(ALL)08/95]
You can activate theAuto Memory Load
feature by pressing and holding the ªAUTO
PRESETº buttonfor approximately three
seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory
buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by
seeking out the first five strong stations for
the respective band and storing them in
memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the
second set of strong stations from the FM
band.)
*
[AS01650(ALL)08/95]
With Auto Memory Store, you can
continually set strong stations into your
memory buttons without losing your existing
memory presets, which is especially handy
while traveling. Your radio will automatically
set your memory buttons to the strong local
stations so you don't have to continually
manually tune to existing stations.
*
[AS01700(ALL)08/95]
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the
ªAUTO PRESETº button once. Your radio
will set the first five strong stations of the
band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
ªAUTOº, then run through the frequencies,
stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is
now in the ªAUTOº mode and the display
will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is
activated.
*
[AS01750(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.

Rocking the vehicle
*
[DR27950(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle gets stuck (for example, in mud
or snow), you may rock it out of the spot. Shift
in a steady rhythm between forward and reverse
gears. Allow the transmission to fully engage,
then press lightly on the accelerator. Do not rock
the vehicle for more than a few minutes. This
may overheat the engine and transmission,
causing damage to both. In addition, other
vehicle systems and components may also be
damaged.

[DR27975(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph
(55 km/h). The tires may fail and injure a
passenger or bystander.

[DR28050(ALL)03/95]
Driving With a Heavy Load
*
[DR28101(ALL)01/95]
There are limits to the amount of weight your
vehicle can carry or tow. The total weight of
your vehicle, plus the weight of the passengers
and cargo, should never be more than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Also, the weight
that your vehicle carries over the front axle and
rear axle should never be more than the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the respective
axle.
*
[DR28150(ALL)08/95]
The weight limits of your vehicle's tires affect
the GVWR or GAWR limitations. Usage of
replacement tires with higher weight limits than
originals does not increase GVWR or GAWR.
Usage of lower capacity replacement tires may
lower GVWR and GAWR limitations.
