surrounding area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and trans-
mitter distance. Buildings or other obstructions may cause momentary
static, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsat-
isfactory, switch to a stronger station.

the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly
installed or if they are not suited for the vehicle.
