too high.
NOTE:If you experience difficulty in playing a particu-
lar disc, it may be damaged, oversized, or have theft
protection encoding. Try a known good disc before

RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES
Under certain conditions, the operation of a cellular
phone in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy perfor-
mance from your radio. This condition may be lessened
or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily ªclearº by the repo-
sitioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio
volume be turned down or off during cellular phone
operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
Heater Only
The controls are as follows:
Fan Control
Use this control to regulate the
amount of air forced through the
system in any mode you select.
Turn the control clockwise to in-
crease fan speed. Turn the control
to the full counterclockwise posi-
tion to turn the fan off.
NOTE:There is always a small amount of air entering
the vehicle even when the fan is turned off. If this
becomes objectionable during cold weather, place the
mode control on FLOOR to direct the air flow away from
passengers.

Temperature Control
Use this control to regu-
late the temperature of
the air inside the passen-
ger compartment. Turn
the control clockwise to
increase the temperature
of the air entering the ve-
hicle.
Side Window Demisters
A side window demister outlet is at each end of the
instrument panel. These nonadjustable outlets direct air
toward the side windows when the system is in either the
FLOOR, MIX, or DEFROST mode. The air is directed at
the area of the windows through which you view the
outside mirrors.
Outside Air Intake
When operating the system during the winter months,
make sure the air intake, directly in front of the wind-
shield, is free of ice, slush, snow or other obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum
may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.The blower air will heat faster in cold weather if you use
only a low blower speed for the first few minutes of
vehicle operation.
During engine warm-up in cold weather, use the Defrost
mode to direct any cold air away from the occupants.
Air Conditioning Ð If Equipped
The Air Conditioning System allows you to balance the
temperature, amount, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle.
The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains
R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer
in the upper atmosphere.
CAUTION!
If your vehicle was not built with air conditioning, The
manufacturer does not recommend that you install any
non-factory A/C system. The design of add-on air
conditioning kits may be inadequate. This may cause
damage to your engine or other components.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 103

The controls are as follows:
Fan and Air Conditioning Control
Use this control to regulate
the amount of air forced
through the system in any
mode you select. The fan
speeds to the left of the OFF
position are for Air Condi-
tioning. Choosing one of
these speeds turns on the air
conditioning compressor. The
fan speed increases as you
move the control counterclockwise from the OFF posi-
tion.
NOTE:The air conditioning compressor will not en-
gage until the engine has been running for about 10
seconds.
Fan speeds to the right of OFF are for heater or ventila-
tion operation. The fan speed increases as you move the
control clockwise from the OFF position.
Mode Control (Air Direction)
The mode control allows you
to choose from several pat-
terns of air distribution. You
can select either a primary
mode, as identified by the
symbols, or a blend of two of
these modes. The center point
between modes gives an even
blend of both modes. The
closer the control is to a par-
ticular mode, the more air distribution you receive from
that mode.
Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the instru-
ment panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct
air flow.
