RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio
and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies
are:
AM 530, 540±1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9±107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
²Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by ªsignal modulation.º Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
²Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle's
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its ªshadowº) returns your reception to normal.
²Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it
will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

Turning the system off
Press OFF. The outside temperature
(EXT) function (if selected) will
continue to operate until the
ignition is turned off.
DATC automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired
temperature. The selected
temperature will appear in the
display window, and an indicator
above the AUTO control will light.
The DATC system will either heat or
cool the vehicle to achieve the
selected temperature. The system
will automatically determine the fan
speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is
required.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs
the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some
airflow out of the defroster, demister outlets and outer instrument panel
registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is
not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed
and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor. In
approximately 3
1¤2minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase
and the airflow location will change to the floor area.
When in AUTO mode, the DATC system automatically controls the air
conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and
determines whether outside or recirculated air is required. Manual
control of the A/C, air recirculation and fan speed are available in auto
mode.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging), the manual override
controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To return to
full automatic control, press the AUTO control.

For continuous maximum heating, press the temperature control until
32É C (90É F) is shown in the display window. The DATC will continue
maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
cooler temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control. If
maximum heating is selected, the passenger set point is not displayed
and the passenger temperature adjustments will be disabled.
A change of the driver-selected temperature to a temperature other than
16É C (60É F) or 32É C (90É F) will display the passenger set point. The
passenger side set point will increase or decrease along with the driver
side temperature set point until a change is made using the passenger
temperature control.
Passenger side temperature selection
To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 19ÉC
(65ÉF) and 29ÉC (85ÉF) by pressing
the temperature control on the
passenger side of the system.
If the driver side temperature
selection is set for maximum cooling
(16ÉC (60ÉF)) or maximum heating
(32ÉC (90ÉF)), the passenger side
temperature adjustments will be
disabled and the passenger set point will not be displayed.
Temperature conversion
Press the Fahrenheit/Celsius
(ÉFÉC)control to switch between
Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature
on the display only. The
temperature in Celsius will be
displayed in half-degree increments.
The English/Metric control on the
trip computer and message center
(if equipped) will not change the
temperature display. Refer toElectronic message centerin theDriver
controlschapter.

Fan speed ()
When AUTO is pressed, fan speed is adjusted automatically for existing
conditions. You can override fan speed at any time. To control fan speed
manually, press the fan control to cancel the automatic fan speed
operation. Press the control up for higher fan speed or down for lower
fan speed. The display will show
and a bar graph to indicate manual
fan speed operation and relative speed.
When the fan is adjusted in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator will
remain lit and the system will remain in auto operation.
To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO. The fan icon and bars
will disappear from the display, and the DATC system will return to full
automatic operation.
²A/C control
A/C(air conditioning) Ð Used to manually enable or disable the
operation of the air conditioning in all modes except defrost. In all
modes, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature
is about 2É C (35É F) or higher. When manual A/C is selected (ON) the
indicator will be lit. When manual A/C is selected (OFF) the indicator
will not be lit.

When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. You may override the automatic recirculated air
operation at any time. To manually control the recirculated air operation
and cancel automatic recirculated air operation, press the recirculated air
control. When the recirculated air is manually controlled in the AUTO
mode, the AUTO indicator light will remain lit. To return to full automatic
recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp
conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear
windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DATC system will
turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all operating
override controls. More than one override control indicator may turn on
when an override control is selected.
The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except OFF.
However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 2É C (35É F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.

system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers.
When floor/defrost is selected, if the outside temperature is about 2É C
(35É F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce window fogging. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the windshield defroster ducts. When floor/defrost is selected,
the system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window
fogging. Recirculation and A/C override controls can be selected.
(defrost) Ð Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the
outer instrument panel registers. If the outside temperature is about 2É C
(35É F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce window fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not
illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override
controls cannot be selected.
²Turn DATC off
OFF-Outside air is shut out. The fan, heating and air conditioning will
not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected
with the ignition in the RUN position.
Heated wiper rest
(heated wiper rest) Ð Located at the base of the windshield, this
feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front
defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When
activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the
chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.

With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be
automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5ÉC (40ÉF). The
feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time. However, the
automatic feature will be enabled each time the engine is started.
In cold, dry conditions where wet snow or ice is not present it is
acceptable to manually deselect the operation of this feature.
The feature will run continuously unless a low battery condition is
detected, or unless the feature is manually deselected, and will only
activate when the vehicle engine is running (to prevent excessive drain
of the vehicle battery).

Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT to display the outside air temperature. It will remain selected
until the EXT control is pressed again.
If the driver or passenger temperature or the fan speed is changed, or
the AUTO or
modes selected while the outside temperature is
displayed, the driver and passenger temperature display will be displayed
for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature display will return
to the window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the DATC system is in the
OFF mode and the DATC is turned on, the driver and passenger
temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside
temperature display will return to the window.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings may not agree with temperatures given on the
radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
