With this feature, your audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road and wind noise as you drive. The radio will go to a station, play for a few seconds, then go on to the next station.
Press either SCAN arrow again to stop scanning. To turn alternate frequency off press and hold BAND again for two seconds. If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled.
Turn the ignition on. This will clear the CD-sensing feature and enable CDs to be loaded into the player again. Use this feature to listen to 10 seconds of each track of the currently selected CD. The recorded tracks will begin to play in the order that they were saved.
When the temperature returns to normal, the CD should play. When the road becomes smoother, the CD should play. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise.
Page Care Of Your Cds The broken tape detection feature of your cassette tape player may identify the cleaning cassette as a damaged tape, in error. To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use the following steps: 1. Turn the radio off. Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up.
Page Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half the adult population — choose never to drink alcohol, so they never drive after drinking. For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U. There are good medical, psychological and developmental reasons for these laws. Page There is a gender difference, too. Women generally have a lower relative percentage of body water than men. Since alcohol is carried in body water, this means that a woman generally will reach a higher BAC level than a man of her same body weight will when each has the same number of drinks.
You can have a serious — or even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking. Please do not drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking. Page Braking Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That is perception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That is reaction time. But that is only an average. ABS is an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid.
When you start your engine and begin to drive away, your anti-lock brake system will check itself. You may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while this test is going on. Page Braking In Emergencies The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could.
The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Page Steering Steering Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
Steering Tips Driving on Curves It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed. Page Steering In Emergencies Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you are following a larger vehicle. Also, you will not have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.
