Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your comfort control system uses
ozone
-friendly R-134a refrigerant.
With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has a
flow
-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Standard Climate Control System
H±23±4002±S
Fan Knob
The left knob is the fan knob and selects the force of air
you want. Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan speed
and counterclockwise to decrease fan speed. The fan will
always run unless the right control knob is turned to OFF.
The fan must be on to run the air conditioning compressor.
Temperature Knob
The center control regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area
for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.
Mode Knob
The right control has settings for air conditioning and
non
-air conditioning modes. The mode control allows
you to choose the direction of air delivery.
MAX: This setting provides maximum cooling with the
least amount of work. MAX recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle so it cools quickly. The air is
directed through the instrument panel outlets.

Setting the Tone
EQUALIZER: A seven
-band equalizer is part of your
audio system. Slide the levers up to boost or down to
reduce frequency range.
Adjusting the Speakers
BAL: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn it to
move the sound to the left or right speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
FADE: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn it to
move the sound to the front or rear speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you're not using them.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player.While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE and BAL
controls just as you do for the radio. The display will
show an arrow to show which side of the tape is playing.
When the down indicator arrow is lit, selections listed
on the bottom side of the cassette are playing. When the
up arrow is lit, selections listed on the top side of the
cassette are playing. The tape player automatically
begins playing the other side when it reaches the end of
the tape.
If E and a number appear on the radio display, the tape
won't play because of an error.

E10: The tape is tight and the player can't turn the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and try to turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape
may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.

E11: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.
