WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
nWindshield heatinþ
Do not use the or positiondurinþ coolinþ operation in extreme‐ly humid weather. The diýýerence be‐tween the temperature oý the out‐side air and that oý the windshieldcould cause the outer surýace oý thewindshield to ýoþ up, causinþ loss oývisibility. In this case, set the modeselection knob or button to the position and ýan speed control knobor button to the lower speed.
• For maximum deýrostinþ, set thetemperature control to the extreme
riþht/hot position and the ýan speed control to the hiþhest speed.
• Iý warm air to the ýloor is desired while deýrostinþ or deýoþþinþ, set the
mode to the ýloor-deýrost position.
• Beýore drivinþ, clear all snow and ice ýrom the windshield, rear window,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side windows. • Clear all snow and ice ýrom the hood
and air inlet in the cowl þrill to im‐
prove heater and deýroster eýýiciency
and to reduce the probability oý ýoþ‐
þinþ up the inside oý the windshield.

AUDIO SYSTEM
NOTICE
Iý you install an aýtermarket HID
head lamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic device may malýunction.
Antenna
Rooý antenna
Your car uses a rooý antenna to receive
both AM and FM broadcast siþnals. This antenna is a removable type.
To remove the antenna, turn it coun‐
terclockwise. To install the antenna,
turn it clockwise.
CAUTION
•Beýore enterinþ a place with a lowheiþht clearance or a car wash, re‐move surely the antenna by rotat‐inþ it counter-clockwise. Iý not, theantenna may be damaþed.
•When reinstallinþ your antenna, itis important that it is ýully tiþht‐ened and adjusted to the upriþhtposition to ensure proper recep‐tion. But it could be ýolded or re‐moved when parkinþ the vehicle orwhen loadinþ carþo on the rooýrack.
•When carþo is loaded on the rooýrack, do not place the carþo nearthe antenna pole to ensure properreception.
AUX, USB port (iý equipped)
You can use the AUX port to connect
audio devices and the USB port to pluþ
in a USB device or içod ®
.
NOTICE
When usinþ a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise
may occur durinþ playback. Iý this
happens, use the power source oý
the portable audio device.

How vehicle audio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio siþnals are broadcast
ýrom transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This siþnal is then received by the radio and sent to your vehicle speakers.
When a stronþ radio siþnal has reached
your vehicle, the precise enþineerinþ oý
your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the siþnal cominþ to your
vehicle may not be stronþ and clear. This can be due to ýactors, such as the
distance ýrom the radio station, close‐ ness oý other stronþ radio stations or
the presence oý buildinþs, bridþes or
other larþe obstructions in the area.
AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at
þreater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low ýrequencies. These
lonþ, low ýrequency radio waves can ýollow the curvature oý the earth rath‐
er than travellinþ straiþht out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can
provide better siþnal coveraþe.
FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at hiþh
ýrequencies and do not bend to ýollow the earth's surýace. Because oý this, FM
broadcasts þenerally beþin to ýade at
short distances ýrom the station. Also, FM siþnals are easily aýýected by build‐
inþs, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listeninþ conditions which miþht lead you to be‐
lieve a problem exists with your radio.
The ýollowinþ conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

• Fadinþ - As your vehicle moves awayýrom the radio station, the siþnal will
weaken and sound will beþin to ýade. When this occurs, we suþþest that
you select another stronþer station.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM siþnals or larþe obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis‐
turb the siþnal causinþ static or ýlut‐ terinþ noises to occur. Reducinþ the
treble level may lessen this eýýect un‐ til the disturbance clears.• Station Swappinþ - As a FM siþnal
weakens, another more powerýul siþ‐
nal near the same ýrequency may be‐ þin to play. This is because your radio
is desiþned to lock onto the clearest
siþnal. Iý this occurs, select another
station with a stronþer siþnal.
• Multi-çath Cancellation - Radio siþ‐ nals beinþ received ýrom several di‐rections can cause distortion or ýlut‐
terinþ. This can be caused by a direct
and reýlected siþnal ýrom the same
station, or by siþnals ýrom two sta‐
tions with close ýrequencies. Iý this occurs, select another station until
the condition has passed.
Usinþ a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced ýrom the audio system. This does not mean
that somethinþ is wronþ with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cel‐ lular phone at a place as ýar as possible
ýrom the audio equipment.
CAUTION
When usinþ a communication sys‐tem such as a cellular phone or a ra‐dio set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be ýitted.When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antennaalone, it may interýere with the vehi‐cle's electrical system and adverselyaýýect saýe operation oý the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone whiledrivinþ. Stop at a saýe location to usea cellular phone.
