WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause theinterior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
The cabin air filter (if so equipped) requires
periodic maintenance. See the ``Do it your-
self'' section for additional information.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, below the radio. The
EATC operates only when the ignition isturned 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 six function
selector buttons:
,,,,
or MAX. 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 AUTOMATIC
mode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a
is shown.

broadcast. Most RDS stations are currently
in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.
AHA1107

cMusic or programming type such as
``Classical'', ``Country'', or ``Rock''.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.

TRAFFIC ON, then use the seek or scan
control to look for a station that may transmit
traffic reports, the radio will display a
``TRAF'' icon to show it is in traffic mode and
tuned to a station that may transmit traffic
reports. If the radio searches through the
whole band and then returns to the previous
station it was originally playing there are nostations in the area that are transmitting
traffic reports.
If a cassette or compact disc is being played
while the traffic option is on and the station
previously tuned into displays a traffic bul-
letin the radio will pause the cassette or
compact disc and broadcast the bulletin,
then resume playing the cassette or com-

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, dust,
moisture, and magnetic sources.
