NOTICE
• While using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the engine temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills or
in heavy traffic when outside temper-
atures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• Opening the windows in humid weather while the air conditioning
operates may create water droplets
inside the vehicle. Since excessive
water droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic. Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic.
If you operate the air conditioner excessively, the difference between the
temperature of the outside air and that
of the windshield could cause the outer
surface of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this case,
set the mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan speed con-
trol to the lower speed.

HD RadioTMTechnology
(for HD RADIOTMequipped model)
HD Radio Technology manufactured
under license from iBiquity Digital
Corporation. U.S. and Foreign Patents.
HD Radio™ and the HD, HD Radio, and
“Arc” logos are proprietary trademarks of
iBiquity Digital Corp. Program Service Data: Contributes to the
superior user experience of HD Radio
Technology. Presents song name, artist,
station IDs, HD2/HD3 Channel Guide,
and other relevant data streams.
Adjacent to traditional main stations are
extra local FM channels. These
HD2/HD3 Channels provide new, original
music as well as deep cuts into tradition-
al genre.
Digital, CD-quality sound. HD Radio
Technology enables local radio stations
to broadcast a clean digital signal. AM
sounds like today’s FM and FM sounds
like a CD.
HD RadioTMsignal delay
To overcome the delay that digital sys-
tems inherently produce, HD RadioTM
technology first uses the audio signal of
the analog broadcasting when you tune
to an AM station or to the main channel
of a FM station. After that, the system will
blend from analog to digital signal.
Normally, this blending is very smooth. If
you experience a skip in program content
of several seconds, the radio station has
not implemented HD Radio
TMbroadcast-
ing correctly. This is not a problem with
your audio system.
Due to the fact that sub channels are only
broadcasting digital, blending from analog
to digital signal is not possible if you tune
to a sub channel. In this case playback of
the sub channel starts after several sec-
onds, this is a normal function.
