Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage
your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can
damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.
But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different
colors or in different words.
You'll also see warning labels on your vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
Your vehicle may be equipped with components and
labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,
used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text
describing the operation or information relating to a
specific component, control, message, gage or indicator.
If you need help figuring out a specific name of a
component, gage or indicator reference the following
topics in the Index:

ªEngine Compartment Overviewº

This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for the temperature, fan speed
and the direction of the airflow.
The memory buttons (1 or 2) for this feature are located

do the following:
1. Choose a temperature setting for the driver and if
desired, for the passenger. See ªElectronic Climate
Control System (Option)º earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the fan speed and the direction of the airflow.3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.
4. Press a memory button (1 or 2) until you hear two
beeps. The beeps confirm that your selection has

Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings.
For more information on the memory feature, see
ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
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 Power (RAP)º in the Index.

Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). With RDS, the radio can do
the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.
RDS is always on. RDS features are only available
for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information. The RDS features of your radio rely
upon receiving specific RDS information from these
stations. These features will only work when the RDS
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the
radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY)
for their current programming.
