WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, please note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explosion.
Before refueling always 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 dangerous 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyester,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehi-
cle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the contain-
er on the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the fill-
ing is complete. Use only portable
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use 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 vapors
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone use it in a
place away from the gas station.
When refueling always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.

3Power 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.
Aux, USB and iPod port
(if equipped)If your vehicle has an aux and/or
USB(universal serial bus) port or iPod
port, you can use an aux port to connect
audio devices and an USB port to plug in
an USB and also an iPod port to plug in
an iPod.✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen using a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise may
occur during playback. If this happens,
use the power source of the portable
audio device. ❈ iPod

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 radioset inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted.When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system and adverse- 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.
