For quick defrosting

1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.
2. Turn the temperature control dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise to the desired temperature between middle (
)
and “H” position.
3. Press the MAX switch (A).
NOTE
When the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position,
the air conditioning compressor runs automatically. Out-
side air introduction will also be selected automatically.

When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to
the maximum cool position. This would blow cool air on
the window glass and fog it up.

Since defogging or defrosting with the MAX switch con-
sumes a large amount of power, stop the switch after
defogging or defrosting.
Use the MAX setting for a long time decreases the cruis-
ing range.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
N00751900112

You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs and can therefore
be damaged and rendered unplayable if left inside your
vehicle for a long time.

Depending on the combination of the writing software,
the CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive), and the disc used to
create a CD-R/RW, the disc might not play successfully.

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session
is not closed.

This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain
data other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).

Be sure to observe the handling instructions for the CD-
R/RW disc.

5General information about your radio
N00733900439
Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations.
The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles,
and signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Opera-
tion is subject to the following conditions:

The device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference recieved, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Signal transmissionFM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they
reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, FM broad-
casts cannot be received over long distances. AM signals fol-
low the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper
atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received
over longer distances.Weak reception (fading)Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM
waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM recep-
tion. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar
obstructions, reception can be disturbed.
CAUTION
!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party meeting the above conditions could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not
touching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehicle and move the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position.
4. Set the parking brake firmly on the other vehicle. Put the
automatic transaxle in “P” (PARK) or the manual
transaxle in “N” (Neutral).
5. Turn the ignition switch (the electric motor switch) on
each vehicle to the “LOCK” position.NOTE
Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This
will help avoid sparks.6. Remove the battery cover, and then make sure your 12V
starter battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (Refer to
“Checking 12V starter battery electrolyte level” on page
7-14.)
7. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the discharged battery (A), and then con-
nect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the
booster battery (B).
