the cover on the roof hole as the illus-
tration.
✽✽ NOTICE
To prevent loosing the roof carrier
cover, install the cover on the roof before
you install the roof carrier.
3. After using the roof carrier, install the cover back on the roof in the reverse
order.

EXTERIOR FEATURE
Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
be sure not to position cargo onto the
roof rack in such a way that it could
interfere with sunroof operation.
WARNING
 The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible on the roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage above
specification on the roof rack
may damage your vehicle.
(Continued)
ROOF 75 kg (165 lbs.)
RACK EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
(Continued)
 The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover causing anaccident.
 Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof rack.
This is especially true when car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. Thiscould cause the items to fall off
the roof rack and cause damage
to your vehicle or others around
you.
 To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.CAUTION
 When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-
tions to make sure the cargo doesnot damage the roof of the vehicle.
 When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof lengthor width.

CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,
remove the antenna by rotating it counter-clockwise. If not, theantenna may be damaged.
 When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-ened to ensure proper reception.
 When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo nearthe antenna pole to ensure proper
reception.

How car audio works
AM (MW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible audio reproduction. However in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong an clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM (MW) broadcasts can be received at
greater distances then FM broadcasts.
This is because AM (MW) radio waves
are transmitted at low frequencies. These
long low radio frequency waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather then
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bent to follow the
earth’s surface. Because of this FM
broadcasts begin to fade at short dis-
tances from the station. Also FM signal
are easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a prob-
lem exists with your radio. The following
conditions are normal and do not indicate
radio trouble.

 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.
 Flutter/Static – Weak FM signal 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 sta-tion signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or flut-
tering. This can be caused by a director reflected signal from the same sta-
tion, or by signals from two stations
with close frequencies. If this occurs,select another station until the condi-tion 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 meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possiblefrom the audio equipment.
JBM005
CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antennaalone, it may interfere with the vehi- cles electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.
