B740D01A-AATOperation 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 windowsclosed 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 ofthe engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak oper- ating condition.
For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch (1).
o Turn on the air conditioning switch(4). The air conditioning indicatorlight should come on at the sametime.
o Set the air intake control (5) to the
fresh air ( ) position.
o Set the air flow control (2) to the face ( ) position.
o Adjust the fan control (1) to the de- sired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control (3) to provide the desired amount ofwarmth.

94STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at highfrequencies 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 listen- ing conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your ra-dio. 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 around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. Howev-er, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors suchas the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations
