The pollen filter is located in front of the
evaporator unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease the amount of
pollutants entering the car.
To replace the pollen filter, refer to the
page 6-20.

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 condi-
tioning system, keep all windows
closed to keep hot air out.
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 air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning 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 the air conditioning
once every month for a few min-
utes. This will help circulate the
lubricants and keep your system in
peak operating condition. Inside of

o Replace the filter every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or once a year. If
the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent pollen filter
inspections and changes are re-
quired.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, it must be checked at
an authorized dealer.

Iron bridges
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequency and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FM broadcasts generally begin to fade
at short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-
tions. These can result in certain lis-
tening conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT
STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering
of your audio system ensures high
quality reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your ve-
hicle is not strong and clear. This can
be due to factors such as the distance
from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger sig-
nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to
fade. When this occurs, we suggest
that you select another stronger sta-
tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or flut-
tering noises to occur. Reducing the
treble level may lessen this effect
until the disturbance clears. 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 equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far
as possible from the audio equipment.
!
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and ad-
versely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving, you must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.

Storage
When not in use, place your discs in
their individual cases and store them in
a cool place away from the sun, heat,
and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into
the unit by the self loading mechanism.
Do not pull the unit from the dash
immediately after a disc is inserted or
the eject switch has been pressed. If
the unit is pulled out before an opera-
tion is completed, the disc will be un-
stable in the unit and may be dam-
aged.
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the
unit when the unit is out of the dash or
the power is off.
B850A01F-AAT
CARE OF DISC
Proper Handling
Handle your disc as shown. Do not
drop the disc. Hold the disc so you will
not leave fingerprints on the surface. If
the surface is scratched, it may cause
the pickup to skip signal tracks. Do not
affix tape, paper, or gummed labels on
the disc. Do not write on the disc.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play damaged,
warped or cracked discs. These could
severely damage the playback mecha-
nism.
B850A01L
B850A02L
Keep Your Discs Clean
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the sur-
face of a disc could cause the pickup to
skip signal tracks. Wipe the surface
clean with a clean soft cloth.
If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen
a clean soft cloth in a solution of mild
neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See
drawing.

o Be sure that the cassette label is not
loose or peeling off or tape ejection
may be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio
tape surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as electric motors, speakers or trans-
formers away from your cassette
tapes and tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place
with the open side facing down to
prevent dust from setting in the cas-
sette body.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60
minutes total). Tapes such as C-
120 or C-180 are very thin and do
not perform as well in the automo-
tive environment. o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage
to replay one given tune or tape
section. This can cause poor tape
winding to occur, and eventually
cause excessive internal drag and
poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be
corrected by fast winding the tape
from end to end several times. If this
does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your
vehicle.
B860A01A-AAT
CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
Proper care of your cassette tapes will
extend the tape life and increase your
listening enjoyment. Always protect
your tapes and cassette cases from
direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty
conditions. When not in use, cassettes
should always be stored in the original
protective cassette case. When the
vehicle is very hot or cold, allow the
interior temperature to become more
comfortable before listening to your
cassettes.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in
the player when not being played.
This could damage the tape player
unit and the cassette tape. B860A01L

ANTENNA
Roof Antenna
Your car uses a roof antenna to re-
ceive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is a removable type. To
remove the antenna, turn the antenna
counterclockwise. To install the an-
tenna, turn the antenna clockwise.
o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating
of tape residue that can result in
deterioration of sound quality, such
as a wavering sound. They should
be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning
tape or special solution available
from audio specialty shops. Follow
the supplier's directions carefully and
never oil any part of the tape player
unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before in-
serting in the player. Rotate a pencil
in the drive sprockets to wind up any
slack. B860A03L
NOTE:
Look at a tape before you insert it.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning one of the hubs with a pen-
cil or your finger.
If the label is peeling off, do not put
it in the drive mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where
they are exposed to hot, warm, or
high humidity, such as on top of
the dashboard or in the player.
If a tape is exposed to extreme heat
or cold, let it reach a moderate tem-
perature before putting it in the
player.

CAUTION:
o Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the car in an au-
tomatic car wash or it may be
damaged.
o Before entering a place with a low height clearance, be sure to
adjust the roof antenna low.
o When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-
ened to ensure proper reception.!
