B690A01S-AAT HEATING CONTROLSFor normal heating operation, set the air intake control to the "Fresh" position and the air flowcontrol to "Floor". For faster heating, the air intake control should be in the "Recirculation" position. If the windows fog up, move the air flow control to the "Def" (defroster) position. (The A/C will be onautomatically and it will be changed to "Fresh"mode.) For maximum heat, move the temperature con- trol to "Warm".
B730A01FC-EAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from enter-
ing the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at "Recir-culation". Be sure to return the control to"Fresh" when the irritation has passed tokeep fresh air in the vehicle. This will helpkeep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-screen. Care should be taken that these arenot blocked by leaves, snow, ice or otherobstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windscreen, set the air intake control to the fresh air ( )position and fan speed to the desi-red posi-tion.
NOTE:When the A/C is operated continuously onthe floor-defrost level (
) or defrost level
(), it may cause fog to form on the exterior
windscreen by the temperature differential. At this time set the air flow control to the facelevel position (
)and fan speed control to the
low position.
Use the heating/ventilation system to defrost or defog the windscreen: To remove the interior fog on the windscreen;
o Set the air flow control to the defrost (
)
position. (The A/C will be on automatically and it will be changed to "Fresh" mode.)
o Set the temperature control at the desired position.
o Set the fan speed control between "1" and "4" position.
To remove the frost or exterior fog on thewindscreen;

SSAR014A B750B02Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be produced from the audio equip-ment. This does not mean that something iswrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far aspossible from the audio equipment. CAUTION: When using a communication system such acellular phone or a radio set inside the vehi-cle, a separate external antenna must befitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set isused with an internal antenna alone, it mayinterfere with the vehicle's electrical systemand adversely affect safe operation of thevehicle. WARNING: Don't use a cellular phone when you aredriving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellularphone.SSAR013A
o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-ens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This isbecause your radio is designed to lock ontothe clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, select an-other station until the condition has passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and soundwill begin to fade. When this occurs, wesuggest that you select another stronger sta-tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and yourradio can disturb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treblelevel may lessen this effect until the distur-bance clears.
