the damage.

and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different
words.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Sensors
The solar sensor (A) on your vehicle monitors solar
radiation and uses the information to maintain the
selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments
to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery
system. Do not cover the solar sensor located in
the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.There is also a temperature sensor located beside the
audio system on the driver’s side of the vehicle. This

establish ventilation system requirements while operating
in AUTO mode. Do not cover the temperature sensor or

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle – like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio – be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with
the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio or other
systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s
systems may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle, find
out what your audio system can do, and how to operate
all of its controls to be sure you are getting the most out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.
