fore refueling, always stop the engine
and never smoke or allow sparks and
open flames near the filler area.

filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a colli-

WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks produced by elec-
trical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and during
refueling. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave
a lit cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during re-
fueling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station or contact the
police and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions they
provide.

MANUAL OPERATIONThe heating and cooling system can be
controlled manually as well by pushing
buttons other than the "AUTO" button. In
this state, the system sequentially works
according to the order of buttons selected.
The function of the buttons which are not
selected will be controlled automatically.
Press the "AUTO" button in order to convert
to automatic control of the system.
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso 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 conditioning
system, keep all windows closed 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 com-
pressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regu-
larly, run the air conditioning once ev-
ery month for a few minutes. This will
help circulate the lubricants and keep
your system in peak operating condi-
tion.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short dis-
tances from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, 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:
STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio WorksAM 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 pos-
sible quality reproduction. 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 pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
