Comfort Controls
With this system you can control the heating, air
conditioning and ventilation in your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has the flow
-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Fan Knob
The knob on the left of the control panel is used to select
the force of air. Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan
speed and counterclockwise to decrease fan speed.Temperature Knob
Turn the center knob to change the temperature of the
air flowing from the system. Turn it toward the red area
(clockwise) for warmer air and toward the blue area
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
OFF: In this setting the system is off.
MAX (Maximum): This setting provides maximum
cooling for quick cool
-down on very hot days. It
recirculates most of the air inside your vehicle. If it is
used for long periods of time, the air may become dry.
This setting directs air through the upper air vents.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Use A/C for normal cooling
on hot days. This setting cools outside air and directs it
through the upper air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates in MAX,
A/C, bi
-level, blend and defrost when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power due to the operation of
the compressor.

3-5 Ventilation System
Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the vents.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan is running.
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
1. Turn the mode knob to the vent symbol.
2. Turn the temperature knob to a comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan knob to the desired speed.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 your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan knob clockwise for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

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 of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.

Playing the Radio
PWR (Power): Press this knob to turn the system on
and off.
VOL (Volume): Turn the knob clockwise to increase
volume. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume.
SCV (Speed
-Compensated Volume): With SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Turn the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust the SCV. Each notch on the
control ring allows for more volume compensation at
faster vehicle speeds. Then, as you drive, SCV
automatically increases the volume, as necessary, to
overcome noise at any speed. The volume level should
always sound the same to you as you drive. If you don't
want to use SCV, turn the control all the way down.
RECALL: Pressing this button will display the station
being played or it will display the clock. Clock display

to a station, play for a few seconds and flash the station
frequency, then go on to the next station. Press one of
the arrows or one of the SEEK arrows again to stop
scanning. The radio will scan to stations with a strong
signal only. The sound will mute while scanning.
P.SCAN (Preset Scan): This button lets you scan
through your favorite stations stored on your
pushbuttons. The radio will scan to the first preset
station stored on your pushbuttons, play for a few
seconds and flash the station frequency, then go on to
the next preset station. Press one of the arrows or one of
the pushbuttons again to stop scanning. SCAN will be
displayed whenever the tuner is in the preset scan mode.
The channel number (P1 through P6) will appear with
the frequency. In FM mode, this function will scan
through the current band such as FM1 or FM2. The
radio will scan preset stations with a strong signal only.
The sound will mute while scanning.
