Advanced climate control system
The advanced climate control system keeps
the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the ion control and the automatic air intake
control with outside odor and exhaust gas
detecting sensor.SAA2734
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, the sensor detects odors and exhaust
gas, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”side will
illuminate and the outside odor and
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
. The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industrial

FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves awayfrom a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the treble
setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct
and reflected signals reach the receiver at
the same time. The signals may cancel
each other, resulting in momentary flutter
or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric
turbulence even in areas where no obsta-
cles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
Satellite radio reception (if so equipped):
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large
building for the satellite radio to receive
all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
XM®Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite radio is not available in Alaska,
Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
