Cargo loads precautions
CAUTION
!●Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of
the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage
cannot move once your vehicle is moving.
Having either the rear view blocked, or your cargo
being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have
to brake can cause a serious accident or injury.●Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of the vehi-
cle. If the load in the back of the vehicle is too heavy,
steering may become unstable.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
E00725100026
●You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
●CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a vehicle for extended periods may damage them
and make playback impossible.
●The unit may not successfully play back a CD-R/RW that
was made by the combination of writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incom-
patible with one another.
●This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session
is not closed.
●This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).
●Be sure to observe the handling instructions for the
CD-R/RW disc.
WARNING
!●Operating the CD player in a manner other than
specifically instructed herein may result in hazard-
ous radiation exposure. Do not remove the cover
and attempt to repair the CD player by yourself.

Emergency starting
E00800501216
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or
dead, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can
reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t
want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
WARNING
!●To start the engine by use of jumper cables from
another vehicle, perform the correct procedures
according to the instruction manual. Incorrect pro-
cedures could result in a fire or explosion or damage
to the vehicles.
CAUTION
!●Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can dam-
age both vehicles.
