CASSETTE TAPE AND PLAYER MAINTENANCE To keep the cassette tapes and player in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Do not use cassette tapes longer than C-90; otherwise, sound quality and tape durability will be greatly dimin- ished. 2. Keep the cassette tape in its case to protect from slackness and dust when it is not in use. 3. Keep the cassette tape away from direct sunlight, heat and magnetic fields such as the radio speakers. 4. Before inserting a tape, make sure that the label is adhering flat to the cassette. 5. A loose tape should be corrected before use. To rewind a loose tape, insert the eraser end of a pencil into the tape drive gear and twist the pencil in the required directions. Maintain your cassette tape player. The head and capstan shaft in the cassette player can pick up dirt or tape deposits each time a cassette is played. The result of deposits on the capstan shaft may cause the tape to wrap around and become lodged in the tape transport. The other adverse condition is low or “muddy” sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available WET cleaning cassette. As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple WET cleaning cassette. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 275 CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE To keep the CD/DVD discs in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the surface. 2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge. 3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the disc; avoid scratching the disc. 4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic sprays. 5. Store the disc in its case after playing. 6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. 7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high. 276 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL CLIMATE CONTROLS The Air Conditioning and Heating System is designed to make you comfortable in all types of weather.

The heater outlets are located in the passenger side trim panel just behind the sliding door. Do not block or place objects directly in front of the inlet grille or heater outlets. The electrical system could overload causing damage to the blower motor. Rear Temperature Control To change the temperature in the rear of the vehicle, press the temperature control button down for cold and up for heated air. 296 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Rear Mode Control The Rear Mode Control, located in the headliner near the center of the vehicle can be used to select between Auto, Headliner, Bi- Level and Floor modes. Auto Mode The rear system automatically maintains the correct mode and comfort level desired by the rear seat occu- pants. Floor Mode Air comes from the floor outlets. Bi-Level Mode Air comes from both the headliner outlets and the floor outlets. In many temperature positions, the bi-level NOTE: mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the head- liner outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets. Headliner Mode Air comes from the outlets in the headliner. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. Moving the air vane knob on the outlets to one side will shut off the air flow. Summer Operation The engine cooling system in air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion protection and to protect against engine overheating. A 50% solution of ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in water is recommended. Refer to section 7, Maintenance Procedures, of this manual for proper coolant selection. Winter Operation To insure the best possible heater and defroster perfor- mance, make sure the engine cooling system is function- ing properly and the proper amount, type, and concen- tration of coolant is used. Refer to section 7, Maintenance Procedures, of this manual for proper coolant selection. Use of the air Recirculation mode during winter months is not recommended because it may cause window fogging. Vacation Storage Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air condi- tioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will insure adequate UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 297 system lubrication to minimize the possibility of com- pressor damage when the system is started again. Window Fogging Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild rainy or humid weather. To clear the windows, select ⬙defrost⬙ or ⬙mix⬙ mode and increase the front blower speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods as fogging may occur. Outside Air Intake Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow and if they enter the plenum they could plug the water drains. In winter months make sure the air intake is clear of ice, slush and snow. 298 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Operating Tips A/C Air Filter — If Equipped On vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Con- trol (ATC), the climate control system filters out dust and pollen from the air. Refer to section 7 “Air Conditioning” for filter replacement instructions.
