2. Terrain
*
[AS61500( ALL)08/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.
*
[AS61700( ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between
the antenna and station, some of the signal
ªbendsº around the building, but certain spots
receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station
to return to normal.
*
[AS61800( ALL)08/95]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.
*
[AS61900( ALL)08/95]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS62000( ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS62100( ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.

[CF09300( GV)01/96]
If you select AUTOMATIC, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If an override button is selected, your
selection determines airflow location only. Fan
speed remains automatic unless you override it
by rotating the vertical thumbwheel located at
the extreme right of the control panel.

To change the temperature in the display
window, select any temperature between65ÊF
(18ÊC) and 85ÊF (29ÊC)using the BLUE (cooler)
or RED (warmer) buttons. The Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control will do the rest.

If you want continuous maximum cooling, push
the BLUE button until60ÊF (16ÊC) isshown in
the display window. Your EATC will cool at
maximum and disregard the60ÊF (16ÊC)setting
until you select a warmer temperature with the
RED button. If you want continuous maximum
heating, push the RED button until90ÊF (32ÊC)
is shown in the display window. Your EATC
will provide maximum heat regardless of the
90ÊF (32ÊC)setting until you select a cooler
temperature with the BLUE button.

[CF09900( GV)01/96]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected temperature
and AUTO will be shown in the display
window. The EATC will automatically heat or
cool to achieve the set temperature. Under
normal conditions, your EATC will need no
additional attention.

[CF10100( GV)12/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.
*
[CF10200( GV)12/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. A
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed
to suit your needs.

[CF10400( GV)12/95]
The RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of
the Control are for temperature selection. The
RED button will increase the set temperature
and the BLUE button will lower the set
temperature. Pressing a button and releasing it
will change the set temperature one degree.
Holding either button in will rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to
either65ÊF (18ÊC)(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED).
Then, the set temperature will jump 5Ê and stop
at either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is maximum cooling
or 90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.

The average temperature range used is between
68ÊF (20ÊC) and 78ÊF (26ÊC).Changing the
temperature setting by several degrees outside
this range will not speed up the heating or
cooling process.
