RDS uses PI (program identification) sig-
nal and AF(alternative frequency) list
transmitted in addition to the normal UKW
broadcasting programs, and pick up the
UKW stations that are transmitting the
same program from the EON (enhanced
other network) and automatically tunes
to the station with the strongest signal
intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to
one program in, for example, a long dis-
tance driving without returning to other
station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of
the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited
reception of the program types, the break-
in reception of the traffic announcement
and emergency broadcast, and the lim-
ited/unlimited reception of the regional
programs.PTY (Program type)
RDS broadcasts are classified according
to program type (PTY) as follows. Use the
TUNE/SEEK button (4 or 5) to select your
desired PTY.
1. SPEECH
2. NEWS
3. AFFAIRS
4. INFO (Information)
5. SPORT
6. EDUCATE (Education)
7. DRAMA
8. CULTURE
9. SCIENCE
10. VARIED
11. MUSIC
12. POP M
13. ROCK M
14. M.O.R.M. (Middle of road music)
15. LIGHT M (Light/classic)
16. CLASSIC
17. OTHER M (Other music)
NOTE
If “1” or “11” is selected, the program
search is made widely under the category
of speech or music.Automatic retuning function
The automatic retuning function finds sta-
tions that are broadcasting the same pro-
gram and automatically tunes to the sta-
tion with the strongest signal.
Press the UML button (3) for more than 2
seconds, and the AF indicator (11) will illu-
minate in display (7). Press the UML but-
ton for more than 2 seconds again to re-
set.
PI (Program identification)
When listening to stations programmed
into the Memory select buttons (6), you
may listen to broadcasts with the same PI.
If the very same station as memorized
cannot be received, a station broadcast-
ing the same program in the same net-
work is automatically selected. The dis-
play (7) will then show the REG indicator
(12).

Handling of cassette tapesEH02B-Ad
CAUTIONTo maintain the cassette tape player
in good condition, observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
(1) Do not use cassette tapes
longer than C-90, otherwise
sound quality and tape durabil-
ity will be greatly diminished.
(2) Keep the cassette tape in
its case to protect from tape
looseness and dust when it
is not used.
(3) Keep the cassette tape away
from direct sunlight, heat and
magnetic fields such as the ra-
dio speakers.
(4) Before inserting the cassette,
make sure that the label is ad-
hered securely to the cassette.
(5) A loose tape should be correct-
ed before use.
(6) Do not oil any part of the player
and do not insert any object
other than tape cassettes into
the slot, or the tape player may
be damaged. Also, avoid insert-
ing your fingers into the slot.
There is a danger of being burnt
by the hot internal parts.

Handling of compact discsEH12E-Dc
(1) Use only the compact discs with the
mark shown in the illustration above.
(Playback of CD-R discs may cause
problems. CD-RW discs cannot be
played.) The use of heart-shaped, oc-
tagonal, or any other non-circular
discs will result in damage.
(2) When the temperature suddenly
rises, i.e. immediately after the heater
is turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of op-
eration. In such a case, allow some
time before use.
(3) When the CD player is subjected to
violent vibration as during off-road
driving, detracking may result.(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause
a malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen,
pencil, etc. to write on the label sur-
face of the disc, and do not attach any
other labels, seals, etc.
CD player laser warning
Use of controls or adjustments, or per-
formance of procedures other than
normal use, may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Avoid direct exposure to beam. (4) When storing compact discs, always
store them in their individual cases.
Never place compact discs in direct
sunlight, or in any place where the
temperature or humidity is high.
(5) Take care never to touch the flat sur-
face of the disc where there is no
label. Doing so will contaminate the
disc surface and might adversely
affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by
grasping the outer circumference and
the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean,
dry cloth. Wipe directly from the cen-
tre hole toward the outer-edge, do not
wipe in a circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

NOTE
On an air conditioned vehicle, the cool air
from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will
clear after a few moments.NOTE

Heater/Air conditioning*
EH04ABNa
The heater/air conditioning can be oper-
ated while the engine is running.
The performance of the heater is directly
related to the temperature of the engine
coolant, so operate the heater after the
engine has had a chance to warm up. The
amount of air flow can be regulated by ad-
justing the blower speed.
1 - Air conditioning switch*
Push the switch, and the air condition-
ing unit (cooling/dehumidifying func-
tion) will operate, turning the oper-
ation indicator lamp on.
Push the switch again, and the air
conditioning unit will stop.

is switched on/off automatically.
Especially for vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission, while the vehi-
cle is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTE
If the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated, or if increased cooling perfor-
mance is desired, set the air selection
lever to the “ ” (recirculation) position
and the temperature control dial all the
way to the left.
Set the “
”(outside) position periodi-
cally to increase ventilation so that the
windows do not become fogged up.
