WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, pleas e note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines may result in
s evere per sonal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo sion.
• Before refueling alway s note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at
the gas station facility.
Note and follow all safety precau-
tions and warning posted at the
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should elimi-
nate potentially dangerou s static
electricity discharge by touching
another metal part of the front of
the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source.

• Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyes ter,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity dis charge can ignite
fuel vapor s res ulting in explo-
sion. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
s tatic electricity dis charge by
touching a metal part of the vehi-
cle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
•
When us ing a portable fuel con-
tainer be s ure to place the contain-
er on the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity dis charge from
the container can ignite fuel vapor s
caus ing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
s hould be maintained until the fill-
ing is complete. Us e only portable
fuel container s des igned to carry
and store gas oline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not us e cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone u se it in a
place away from the ga s station.
• When refueling alway s shut the
engine off. Spark s produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. Alway s insure that
the engine i s OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling i s
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.

Power outlet (if equipped)
The power outlets are designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate with
vehicle electrical systems. The devices
should draw less than 10 amps with the
engine running.
✽NOTICE
 Use when the engine is running and
remove a plug from the power outlet
after using the electric appliance.
Using when the engine stops or
remaining the electric appliance
plugged in for many hours may cause
the battery to discharge.
 Only use the electric appliances which are less than 12V and 10A in electric
capacity.
 Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operation level when you
have to use the power outlet while
using the air-conditioner or heater.
 Close the cover when not in use.
 Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference and when
plugged into a vehicle's power outlet.
These devices may cause excessive
audio static and malfunctions in other
electronic systems or devices used in
your vehicle.

Knowing your vehicle
• Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you select
another stronger station.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.
• Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-
er station with a stronger signal. • Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed 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.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

CAUTION
When using a communication sys-tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna mus t be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set is u sed with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi- cle's electrical system and adver se-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. The driver should
stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
