Face-Level
Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be discharged through the face level vents and rear ventilator.
B980E01TG-GAT Air Flow Control
B980E01TG

Floor-Defrost Level
Air is discharged through the wind- shield defroster nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle and side ventila-tor . If the "Floor-Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will turn on automatically and"Fresh" mode will be activated. B980C01TG-GAT Defrost Switch When the "Defrost" button is pressed, the " " mode will be automatically selected and the air will be dischargedthrough the windshield defrost nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventila- tor. If the "Defrost" mode is selected,the A/C will turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated to im- prove windshield defrosting. To assistin defrosting, the air conditioning will operate if ambient temperature is higher than 3°C and automatically turns off ifthe ambient temperature drops below 0°C in manual operation.

B725A01LZ-AAT
B725A01TG
Use the heating/ventilation system to defrost or defog the windshield: To remove interior fog on the windshield:
o Set the air flow control to the defrost( ) position. (The A/C will turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.)
o Set the fan speed control to the maximum speed.
o Set the temperature control to the
desired position. B725A02TGTo remove frost or exterior fog on the windshield:
o Set the air flow control to the defrost
( ) position. (The A/C will turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode willbe activated.)
o Set the fan speed control to the
maximum speed.
o Set the temperature control to warm.
In automatic operation, the air condi-tioning will operate if ambient tempera-ture is higher than 1.5°C and automati- cally turns off if the ambient tempera- ture drops below 0.6°C

B980G01TG-GAT Auto de-humidified control (If Installed)
NOTE: When the A/C is operated continu- ously on the floor-defrost level ( ) or defrost level ( ), it may causefog to form on the exterior wind- shield. If this occurs, set the air flow control to the face level position ( )and fan speed control to the low position.
There is a humidity sensor on the cen- ter fascia panel. If it becomes very humid inside the car, the air condition-ing is turned on automatically to control the humidity. B980G01TG
B730A01L-AAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at the
posi-
tion. Be sure to return the control to the
position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help keep the driveralert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just aheadof the windshield. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc-tions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control tothe fresh air (
) position and fan
speed to the desired position, turn on the air conditioning system, and ad-just temperature control to desired temperature.

o Replace the filter every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or once a year. If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, roughroads, more frequent air condi- tioner filter inspections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is sud- denly decreased, it must bechecked at an authorized dealer.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fadeat 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 yourradio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth ratherthan travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they canprovide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineeringof your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. Howev- er, in some cases the signal coming toyour vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station,closeness of other strong radio sta- tions or the presence of buildings,bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

B750B03Y-GAT Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be producedfrom 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 radioset inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical system and ad-versely affect safe operation of the vehicle.

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 theclearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger sig- nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from severaldirections can cause distortion orfluttering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from twostations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.B750A04L
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 thetransmitter and your radio can dis- turb the signal causing static or flut- tering noises to occur. Reducing thetreble level may lessen this effect until the disturbance clears.

!WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when you are driving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident that may cause death, serious in-jury, or property damage. You must stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone.
