tion mode ( ) will give rise to misting
of the windshield and side windows and
the air within the passenger compart-
ment will become stale. In addition, pro-
longed use of the air conditioning with
the recirculation mode ( ) selected
may result in the air within the passenger
compartment becoming excessively dry.

AIR CONDITIONER FILTER
(IN FRONT OF BLOWER UNIT)B760A03E-AAT(If installed)The air conditioner filter is located in front of the
blower unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease the amount of pollutants
entering the car.
To replace the air conditioner filter, refer to the
page 6-18.
CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 12,500 miles
(20,000 km) or once a year. If the car is
being driven in severe conditions such
as dusty, rough roads, more frequent air
conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it
must be checked by an authorized dealer.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-
cies. 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. AM and FM radio signals are broadcast 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 the best possible quality repro-
duction. However, in some cases the signal
coming to your 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 stations or the presence of
buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-
cies and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
