to the position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and comfort-
able.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position and fan speed to the desired posi-
tion.
o When the A/C is operated continuously on
the floor-defrost level ( ) or defrost level
( ), it may cause fog to form on the exterior

o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens,
another more powerful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This is be-
cause your radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select another
station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being
received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has passed.
B750B02Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
noise may be produced from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that something is
wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION:When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna alone,
it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical
system and adversely affect safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving, you must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
