Clock
Your vehicle has a digital clock. If you have the
wagon, the clock is located in the center of the
instrument panel below the air outlets. If you have a
hatchback, the clock is located in the center of the
instrument panel above the air outlets. When the
ignition is turned to ACC or ON, the time is
displayed in the digital clock. There are
three adjusting buttons for the digital clock:H (Hour):To go forward one hour, press the
H button once. To go forward more than one hour,
press and hold the button until the correct hour
is reached.
M (Minute):To go forward one minute, press
the M button once. To go forward more than
one minute, press and hold the button until the
correct minute is reached.
S (Set):To reset the time to the nearest hour,
press the S button.
For example, if this button is pressed while the
time is between 8:00 and 8:29, the display is set to
8:00. If this button is pressed while the time is
between 8:30 and 8:59, the display is set to 9:00.
After disconnecting the battery or replacing the
fuse, reset the clock.

A/C (Air Conditioning):If your vehicle has air
conditioning, follow these steps to use the system.
Start the engine and set the fan control knob to
the desired fan speed. The air conditioning
compressor does not operate when the fan control
knob is in the OFF position. Press the A/C
button to turn the air conditioning system on and
off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator light in
the button will come on to let you know that air
conditioning is activated.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Press the A/C button.
4. Press the recirculation button.
5. Select the coolest temperature.Using these settings together for long periods of
time may cause the air inside of your vehicle
to become too dry. To prevent this from
happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
?(Recirculation):This mode keeps outside air
from coming into the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly.
Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on.
When the button is pressed, an indicator light in
the button will come on. Press this button again to
return to outside air mode.
Using the recirculation mode for extended periods
may cause your windows to fog. If this happens,
select the defrost mode.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There can be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loadingand ejecting. If these problems occur, check the
bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD
is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the
surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs
on page 203for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more
than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While using the CD player, use only
CDs in good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
