straint could be struck by the supple-
mental air bag in a crash and could
seriously injure or kill your child.
cIf you install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat,
place the passenger seat as far back
as possible.A child restraint with a top strap should not
be used in the front passenger seat.
WARNING
cThe 3-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The seat
could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in
a sudden stop or collision.

engine not running, turn the key to the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.

On vehicles equipped with an AM-FM radio
and cassette player, a clock is integrated
into the audio system. For further details,
