ELECTRICAL OUTLET
The electrical outlet is located on the
lower right in the center of the
dashboard.
NOTE: Maximum capacity: 180 VACONTROL AND OPERATION OF RADIO
TRANSMITTERS
Radio, Telephone and Two Way Radio
CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent engine starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
WARNING!
Please do not forget that your primary responsi-
bility is to drive the vehicle. Only operate the ra-
dio, telephone, navigation system, two-way radio
or fax when road and traffic conditions permit.
Otherwise you could be distracted from the traffic
and cause an accident. Always obey local laws and
regulations.
Remember that at a speed of just 30 mph (about 50
km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 50
feet (about 14 m) every second.

MOBILE AND TWO WAY RADIO AND FAX
MACHINES
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone or a citizens
band unit should only be used inside the vehicle they
are connected to an antenna that is installed on the
outside of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation instructions
regarding use of an external antenna.CUP HOLDER
The cup holder in the driver’s compartment is located
below the instrument panel between the driver’s and
front passenger’s seats.
WARNING!
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a
built-in or attached antenna (i.e., without being
connected to an external antenna) from inside the
vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so
could lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s elec-
tronic system, possibly resulting in severe person-
al injuries and death.

only. Actual data on tires are specific to each vehicle
and may vary from data shown in the illustration.
This marking tells you about the type of cord and
number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread.Tire and Loading Terminology
Accessory Weight
The combined weight (in excess of those standard
items which may be replaced) of automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, power
windows, radio, and heater, to the extent that these
items are available as factory-installed equipment
(whether installed or not).
Air Pressure
The amount of air inside the tire pressing outward on
each square inch of the tire. Air pressure is expressed
in pounds per square inch (psi), or kilopascal (kPa) or
bars.
Aspect Ratio
Dimensional relationship between tire section height
and section width expressed in percentage.
Bar
Another metric unit for air pressure. There are 14.5038
pounds per square inch (psi) to 1 bar; there are 100
kilopascals (kPa) to 1 bar.
