This light will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds when the vehicle security system is arming and then flash slowly when the system is armed. The light will also turn on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. (See page 18 for more information.) 33. Airbag Warning Light

This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light does not turn on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. (See page 57 for more information.)

34. Vacuum Fluorescent Display (Mid Line & Premium Clusters Only) On vehicles equipped with a Premium Cluster, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages when the appropriate conditions exist. (See page 206 for more information.) On vehicles equipped with a Mid Line Cluster, this display shows the compass heading (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, and SW) and the outside temperature. Setting Compass Variance (Mid Line Cluster Only) Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic North and Geographic North. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic North is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set using the following procedure:

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 205

NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top of the right rear quarter window. This is where the compass sensor is located. NOTE: The vehicle speed must be at 0 mph (0 km/h) (manual transmission) or the gear selector lever in “P” (Park) (auto transmission) to enter the variance setting mode. To set the variance, first, turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Next, press and hold the trip odometer button until the current variance zone number displays (approximately ten seconds). Then, press and release the button to increment the variance value by one, until the proper variance zone is selected according to the map. Finally, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position to exit this mode.

206 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

NOTE: The factory default zone is 8. During program- ming, the zone value will wrap around from zone 15 to zone 1. Calibrating the Compass (Mid Line Cluster Only) If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, or abnormal, you may wish to calibrate it. However, prior to calibrat- ing the compass, make sure the proper Compass Variance value is selected. NOTE: The vehicle speed must be at 0 mph (0 km/h) (manual transmission) or the gear selector lever in “P” (Park) (auto transmission) to enter the calibration mode. To calibrate the compass, first, start the engine. Next, press and hold the trip odometer button until the current variance zone number displays (approximately ten sec- onds). Then, press and hold the button again until the direction displays with the “CAL” indicator on continu- ously (approximately ten seconds). Finally, drive the

vehicle in one or more complete circles, at speeds under 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from power lines and large metallic objects, until the “CAL” indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC) — IF EQUIPPED The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea- tures a driver-interactive display.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Broadcast Signals Your new radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals... AM (Ampli- tude Modulation), in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary... and FM (Frequency Modulation), in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 221

Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: For vehicles not equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the radio and steering wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain active for

222 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with the EVIC, the radio and steering wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. The time is program- mable. For details, refer to “Delay Power Off to Accesso- ries Until Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Vehicle In- formation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual.

Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3/ WMA files). Discs created with an option such as 9keep disc open after writing9 are most likely multisession discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3/ WMA playback may result in longer disc loading times.

234 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

If a disc contains multi formats, such as CD audio and mp3/wma tracks, the radio will only play the mp3/wma tracks on that disc. Supported MP3/WMA File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.MP3/WMA extension as MP3/WMA files. Non-MP3/WMA files named with the *.MP3/WMA extension may cause play- back problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3/WMA and will not play the file. When using the MP3/WMA encoder to compress audio data to an MP3/WMA file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3/WMA files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.

NOTE: The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix and Defrost, or a blend of these modes, even if the Air Conditioning Snowflake button is not pressed. This de- humidifies the air to help dry the windshield. To improve fuel economy, use these modes only when necessary. † Recirculation Control

Use this button to block the flow of outside air from coming into the passenger compart- ment. A light will illuminate when the sys- tem is in recirculation mode. Only use the recirculation mode as a temporary means to block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start up in very hot or humid weather.

NOTE: † Continuous use of the recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 263

† The use of the recirculation mode in cold or damp weather will cause windows to fog on the inside, because of moisture build-up inside the vehicle. Select the Outside Air position for maximum defogging. † The A/C will engage automatically to prevent fogging when the recirculation button is pressed and the mode control is set to panel or panel / floor. † The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb-

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If Equipped

Automatic Operation The Infrared Climate Control System automatically maintains the climate in the cabin of the vehicle at the comfort levels desired by the driver and passenger. To accomplish this, the system gathers information from the

cabin infrared sensor mounted between the sun-visors and from various sensors located throughout the vehicle. The controls on the climate control provide the system with operator input. Other sensors take account of ve- hicle speed, A/C pressure, outside temperature, and engine cooling temperature. Using all of these inputs, the system automatically adjusts airflow temperature, air- flow distribution, airflow volume, and the amount of outside air recirculation. This maintains a comfortable temperature even under changing conditions. Operation of the system is quite simple. 1. Turn the Mode Control knob (on the right) and the Blower Control knob (on the left) to AUTO. NOTE: The AUTO position performs best for front seat occupants only.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 265

2. Dial in the temperature you would like the system to maintain by rotating the Temperature Control knob.

Once the comfort level is selected, the system will main- tain that level automatically using the heating system. Should the desired comfort level require air conditioning, the system will automatically make the adjustment. You will experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to function automatically. Selecting the “O” (Off) position on the blower control stops the system completely and closes the outside air intake. 72°F (22°C) is the recommended setting for maximum comfort for the average person; however, this may vary.

NOTE: † The temperature setting can be adjusted at any time † Pressing the Air Conditioning Control button while in AUTO mode will cause the LED in the control button to flash three times and then turn off. This indicates that the system is in AUTO mode and requesting the air conditioning is not necessary. † If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser: lo- cated in front of the radiator, for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
