B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioner off to avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch.
o Set the air intake control to the position.
o Set the air flow control to the position.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the
higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount of warmth.

AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis- tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AMradio waves are transmitted at low frequency.These long, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the ionosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.

FM reception
SSAR010A
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on your car.This signal is then received by the radio and sentto your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radiostation, closeness of other strong radio stationsor the presence of buildings, bridges or otherlarge obstructions in the area. FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencyand do not bend to follow the earth's surface.Because of this, FM broadcasts generally beginto fade at short distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun-tains, or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with your radio. Thefollowing conditions are normal and do not indi-cate radio trouble:
Mountains
Buildings
Obstructed area Iron bridges
