Climate Control System  
Voice Control System  
Using Automatic Climate Control  
The automatic climate control  
system in your vehicle maintains the  
interior temperature you select. The  
system also adjusts the fan speed  
and airflow levels.  
Temperature Control  
On vehicles with navigation system  
The climate control system for your  
vehicle can also be operated using  
the voice control system. See the  
navigation system manual for  
complete details.  
The driver’s side temperature and  
the passenger’s side temperature can  
be set separately. Turn the dial of  
the appropriate temperature control  
clockwise to increase the  
temperature of airflow. Turn the dial  
counterclockwise to decrease it.  
Each set temperature is shown in the  
display.  
1. Press the AUTO button.  
2. Set the desired temperature by  
turning the driver’s side  
temperature control dial. You will  
see AUTO and the selected  
temperature in the display. You  
can also set the passenger’s side  
temperature by turning the  
passenger’s side dial.  
When you set the temperature to its  
lower limit (  
) or its upper limit  
(
), the system runs at full  
cooling or heating only. It does not  
regulate the interior temperature.  
When the indicator in the dual  
button is on, the driver’s side and  
passenger’s side temperature can be  
controlled independently (see page  
140 ).  
The system automatically selects the  
proper mix of conditioned and/or  
heated air that will, as quickly as  
possible, raise or lower the interior  
temperature to your preference.

the temperatures for both sides are  
synchronized to the driver’s side set  
temperature. When defrost mode is  
selected, dual mode operation is  
canceled.  
Select the fan speed by pressing  
either side of the fan speed control  
bar ( or ). The fan speed is  
shown in vertical bars on the display.  
Keep the system completely off

This button turns the air  
conditioning on and off. You will see  
A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display.  
To keep stale air and mustiness  
from collecting, you should have  
the fan running at all times.  
When you turn the A/C off, the  
system cannot regulate the inside  
temperature if you set the  
temperature control dial below the  
outside temperature.  
Semi-automatic Operation  
You can manually select various  
functions of the climate control  
system when it is in fully automatic  
mode. All other features remain  
automatically controlled. Making any  
manual selection causes the word  
AUTO in the display to go out.

AM/FM Radio Reception  
Radio Frequencies  
Radio Reception  
The radio can receive the complete  
AM and FM bands.  
How well the radio receives stations  
is dependent on many factors, such  
as the distance from the station’s  
transmitter, nearby large objects,  
and atmospheric conditions.  
Those bands cover these frequen-  
cies:  
AM band: 530 to 1,710 kHz  
FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 MHz  
A radio station’s signal gets weaker  
as you get farther away from its  
transmitter. If you are listening to an  
AM station, you will notice the sound  
volume becoming weaker, and the  
station drifting in and out. If you are  
listening to an FM station, you will  
see the stereo indicator flickering off  
and on as the signal weakens.  
Radio stations on the AM band are  
assigned frequencies at least 10 kHz  
apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the  
FM band are assigned frequencies at  
least 0.2 MHz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).  
Driving very near the transmitter of  
a station that is broadcasting on a  
frequency close to the frequency of  
the station you are listening to can  
also affect your radio’s reception.  
You may temporarily hear both  
stations, or hear only the station you  
are close to.  
Stations must use these exact  
frequencies. It is fairly common for  
Eventually, the stereo indicator will  
stations to round-off the frequency in go off and the sound will fade

display a frequency of 100.9 even  
though the announcer may identify  
the station as ‘‘FM101.’’  
completely as you get out of range of  
the station’s signal.  
250  
09/07/16 18:27:51 31SWA630_256  
AM/FM Radio Reception  
Electrical interference from passing  
vehicles and stationary sources can  
cause temporary reception problems.  
As required by the FCC:  
Changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s  
authority to operate the equipment.  
Radio signals, especially on the FM  
band, are deflected by large objects  
such as buildings and hills. Your  
radio then receives both the direct  
signal from the station’s transmitter,  
and the deflected signal. This causes  
the sound to distort or flutter. This is  
a main cause of poor radio reception  
in city driving.  
Radio reception can be affected by  
atmospheric conditions such as  
thunderstorms, high humidity, and  
even sunspots. You may be able to  
receive a distant radio station one  
day and not receive it the next day  
because of a change in conditions.

When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, When a disc is not being played,

for audio use.  
store it in its case to protect it from  
dust and other contamination. To  
prevent warpage, keep discs out of  
direct sunlight and extreme heat.  
When recording a CD-R or  
CD-RW, the recording must be  
closed for it to be used by the  
system.  
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth.  
Wipe across the disc from the center  
to the outside edge.  
Play only standard, round, 5-inch  
(12 cm) discs. Smaller or odd-  
shaped discs may jam in the drive  
or cause other problems.  
A new disc may be rough on the  
inner and outer edges. The small  
plastic pieces causing this roughness  
can flake off and fall on the  
recording surface of the disc,  
causing skipping or other problems.  
Remove these pieces by rubbing the  
inner and outer edges with the side  
of a pencil or pen.  
Handle a disc by its edges; never  
touch either surface. Do not place  
stabilizer rings or labels on the disc.  
These, along with contamination  
from fingerprints, liquids, and felt-tip  
pens, can cause the disc to not play  
properly, or possibly jam in the drive.  
Handle your discs properly to  
prevent damage and skipping.  
Never try to insert foreign objects in  
the system or the magazine.

Radio Theft Protection  
Your vehicle’s audio system will  
disable itself if it is disconnected  
from electrical power for any reason.  
To make it work again, you must  
enter a specific code using the preset  
buttons (icon on vehicle’s with  
navigation system). Because there  
are hundreds of number  
combinations possible from specific  
digits, making the system work  
without knowing the exact code is  
nearly impossible.  
If your vehicle’s battery is  
disconnected or goes dead, or the  
radio fuse is removed, the audio  
system will disable itself. If this  
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER  
CODE’’ in the frequency display the  
next time you turn on the system.  
Use the preset buttons to enter the  
code. On vehicles with navigation  
system, touch the icon to enter the  
code number, then touch the Done  
icon to set the code. The code is on  
the radio code card included in your  
owner’s manual kit. When it is  
entered correctly, the radio will start  
playing.  
You should have received a card that  
lists your audio system’s code and  
serial numbers. It is best to store this  
card in a safe place at home. In  
addition, you should write the audio

sequence, then enter the correct  
code. You have 10 tries to enter the  
correct code. If you are unsuccessful  
in 10 attempts, you must then leave  
the system on for 1 hour before  
trying again.  
If you lose the card, you must obtain  
the code number from a dealer. To  
do this, you will need the system’s  
serial number.
