Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-5
4-30Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner
operate only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or con-
trols and inadvertently become
involved in a serious accident
and injure themselves. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause
the interior air to become stale
and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driv-
ing so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate
when the engine is running. The air blower will operate even if the engine is
turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
ventilators.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into
the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
4-34Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
selected, the air conditioner automatically
turns on if the outside temperature is
more than 36°F (2°C). This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
The air conditioner is always on in front
defroster or
mode, regardless of
whether the indicator light is on or off.
NOTE:
. The air conditioner system should
be operated for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the air
conditioner system due to the lack
of lubrication.
. A visible mist may be seen coming
from the ventilators in hot, humid
conditions as the air is cooled ra-
pidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
. If the engine coolant temperature
becomes too high, the air recircula-
tion mode will be activated and the
indicator light will come on automa-
tically.
. If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn the air conditioner off. (See “If your
vehicle overheats” (P.6-11).)
automatically switch to the outside air
circulation mode.
To turn the system off:
To turn off the heater and air conditioner,
push the ON·OFF button.
Push the ON·OFF button again, the sys-
tem will turn on in the mode which was
used immediately before the system was
turned off.
Remote engine start logic (if so
equipped)
When the remote engine start function is
activated, the vehicles equipped with the
automatic air conditioner and heater may
go into automatic heating or cooling
mode depending on the outside and
cabin temperatures. During this period,
the display and the buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. When the
temperature is low, the rear defroster
and the heated steering wheel (if so
equipped) may also be activated auto-
matically with the activation of the re-
mote engine start function. (See “Remote
engine start” (P.3-22).)

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate for a maximum of 150 seconds.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
and, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, it may

FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) 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
away from a station transmitter, thesignals 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 re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect and reflected signals reach the
receiver at the same time. The signals
may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere 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 pas-
sing through freeway underpasses or in
areas with many tall buildings. It can also
occur for several seconds during iono-
spheric turbulence even in areas where
no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electri- cal 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 re-
placed, 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 away from any
metal or large buildings for the satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an
active SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscrip-
tion. The satellite radio is not available in
Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA)
Explanation of terms:
.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pic-
tures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed digital audio file format. This
format allows for near “CD quality”
sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of
an audio track can reduce the file size
by approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality.
The compression reduces certain
parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people. .
WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created
by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3.
The WMA codec offers greater file
compression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of more digital audio
tracks in the same amount of space
when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
This product is protected by certain
intellectual property rights of Micro-
soft Corporation and third parties. Use
or distribution of such technology
outside of this product is prohibited
without a license from Microsoft or an
authorized Microsoft subsidiary and
third parties.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the
samples of a signal are converted
from analog to digital (A/D conver-
sion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to med-
ia. Writing data once to the media is
called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multises-
sion.
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about
the digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.
