The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, above the radio. The
EATC operates only when the ignition is
turned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature you
select and controls the airflow for your com-
fort. It also allows you to override the auto-
matic operation with manual function selec-
tor buttons.
To turn the EATC on, push either the AU-
TOMATIC button or any of the five function
selector buttons:
,,,,or. To turn the EATC off,press the OFF button.
When you select AUTOMATIC the system
determines fan speed, airflow location and
discharge air temperature. When one of the
function selector buttons is pressed, your
selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed and discharge air temperature
remain automatic. You can override fan
speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel
located at the extreme right of the
control panel.
The display window indicates the status of
the system. It shows the selected tempera-
ture and AUTO when in the AUTOMATICmode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a
is shown.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select
the desired temperature. The selected tem-
perature and AUTO show in the display
window. The EATC heats or cools to
achieve the set temperature.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather condi-
tions require heat, air is sent to the floor.
However, a feature is included in the EATC
to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the
engine coolant is not warm enough to allow
heating. In three or four minutes the fan
speed gradually increases and airflow
changes to the floor.
If unique conditions exist, such as window
fogging, the five override buttons allow spe-
cific airflow selection. The thumbwheel al-
lows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.

TheTEMPbutton on the left
side of the control panel is for temperature
selection. The

loading feature, the cassette tape is auto-
matically pulled into the player and begins

door. Forcing a tape in or pushing too hard
could damage the player.
When a cassette is inserted into the audio
system, the word TAPE and a cassette sidesymbol (either 1 or 2) illuminate in the
display window.
A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition ON whether or not the radio power
is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the
radio power off causes the audio system to
turn on. After the cassette is ejected, the
audio system turns off. Also, the power
antenna (if so equipped) stays in the down
position during cassette tape operation.
The cassette tape automatically changes
directions to play the other side when the
first side is completed.
cTo maintain good quality sound, NIS-
SAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
moisture, and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
