Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system
work for you.
You can control the heating, cooling and ventilation
systems in your vehicle. Guidelines for using these
systems are found later in this section.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.Driver's Side Temperature Knob
The driver's side TEMP/AUTO knob adjusts the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise to increase the
temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the
temperature. Pressing this knob puts the climate control
system in an automatic mode. For more information,
see ªAutomatic Operationº later in this section.
Passenger's Side Temperature Knob
The right front passenger can control the temperature
of heated air for their own zone, independent from
the driver's temperature setting. The passenger's
temperature can be set anywhere between 60
F (16
C)
and 90
F (32
C).
To turn the system on, press the passenger's side
TEMP/OFF knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
temperature and counterclockwise to decrease. Pressing
the knob again turns off the dual
-zone function and
returns the system to the one
-zone function, where the
driver controls the temperature.

3-6 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The climate control system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. While in the automatic operation
mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary
to cool the air. You may also need to adjust the
interior temperature. Turn either the TEMP/AUTO or
TEMP/OFF knob clockwise to increase the temperature
or counterclockwise to decrease temperature. Adjust the
fan speed as needed.
In order to obtain the maximum cool setting, both
the driver's TEMP/AUTO knob and the passenger's
TEMP/OFF knob must be turned to 60
F (16
C).
Heating
Adjust the interior temperature to your comfort level by
turning the TEMP/AUTO knob or the TEMP/OFF knob
clockwise to increase the temperature or counterclockwise
to decrease the temperature. If the fan speed needs
adjusting, press the up or down arrow.Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
In order to obtain the maximum heat setting, both
the driver's TEMP/AUTO knob and the passenger's
TEMP/OFF knob must be turned to 90
F (32
C).
Defrosting
Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Pressing the defrost button on the control panel
(located above the rear window defogger button)
automatically turns the fan blower to high speed.
Make sure that the side air vents are opened.
Turn both the TEMP/AUTO knob and the
TEMP/OFF knob clockwise as needed to adjust the
temperature. To warm the foot area while in defrost,
press the MODE button until the heater/defrost
symbol appears (see ªManual Operationº earlier in
this section).
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.

3-8
The direction of airflow for the rear seats can also be
adjusted. Move the center control dial between each
vent up or down to adjust the airflow from low to high.
Turn the dial to the ªOº position to stop airflow.
Move the lever in the center of each vent to direct
airflow toward the upper or floor outlets.
The airflow temperature from the rear outlets is the
same as the driver's temperature setting.
Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.Passenger Compartment Air Filter
This ventilation system includes a charcoal air filter that
helps to remove dust, pollen, etc. from air flowing into
your vehicle. A restriction in the airflow coming into
the passenger compartment could be the result of dirt
in the filter. For more information, see ªPassenger
Compartment Air Filterº in the Index. Also see the
Maintenance Schedule booklet for when to change
the filter.
Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR or MN until the time display begins
to change. Release the button as you get close to the
correct time. The time may be set anytime the clock is
displayed. There is a two
-second delay before the clock
goes into time
-set mode.

3-9 AM-FM Stereo with Cassette Tape Player

SEEK
-TUNE button is released. Tuning stops when
you release this button. If you press and hold the
SEEK
-TUNE button again within five seconds of
being in the tune mode, tuning will continue. Waiting
longer than five seconds places the radio back in the
seek mode.
SCAN: Press this button and SCAN will appear on
the display. Use SCAN to listen to stations for a few
seconds. The radio will go to a station, stop for a few
seconds, then go on to the next station. Press this
button again to stop scanning.

3-10
PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite stations. You can set up to
18 stations (six AM, six FM1 and six FM2). Just:
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Press BAND to select AM, FM1 or FM2.
3. Tune in the desired station.

for more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
Whenever you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the station you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your radio presets because the
radio remembers them.
PRESET SCAN: Press and hold SCAN for two to
three seconds until PRESET SCAN appears on the
display to listen to each of your preset stations for
a few seconds (factory presets which have not been
reprogrammed with your stations will be ignored).
The radio will go to the first preset station stored on
your pushbuttons, stop for a few seconds, then go on
to the next preset station. Press SCAN again to stop
scanning. If a preset station has weak reception,
the radio will not stop at the preset station.Setting the Tone

want to decrease the treble.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you're not using them.
Adjusting the Speakers
BAL: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the
knob clockwise to adjust sound to the right speakers
and counterclockwise for the left speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
FADE: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the
knob clockwise to adjust the sound to the front speakers
and counterclockwise for the rear speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
