o Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto theclearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger sig- nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from severaldirections can cause distortion orfluttering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from twostations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal willweaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that you select another stronger sta-tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between thetransmitter and your radio can dis- turb the signal causing static or flut- tering noises to occur. Reducing thetreble level may lessen this effect until the disturbance clears. B750B02Y-AAT Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be producedfrom the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment.!
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such a cellular phone or a radioset inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical system and ad-versely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone whenyou are driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone.

!WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer- ing and braking performance causing a crash in which youmay be seriously injured.
o For automatic transmission ve-
hicles, the trailer should be towedwith the towing vehicle unloaded, with the exception of the driver. Otherwise, the automatic trans-mission oil temperature may rise to a temperature that may result in serious damage of the auto- matic transmission. C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow downto get out of the other vehicle’s air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set theparking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or "R" (manual transmission) or "P" (automatictransmission). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brakecontroller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection atthe same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion-
ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.

22IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
CAUTION:
o Do not allow the jumper cable clips to touch one another.
o Do not connect the jumper cable
to the negative terminal of the flat battery. The battery generates explosive gas, and a spark caused whenthe jumper cable is disconnected from the negative terminal could ignite this gas and cause an ex-plosion.
o Be careful that the jumper cable
becomes not caught in the cool-ing fan, etc.
! D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing and the engine is probably too hot.If this happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic transmission), or neutral (manual transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

8. Start engine as described "Starting the engine" in section 3.
9. After the engine is started, discon- nect the cables in the reverse order.
1. Both batteries must be 12V. The
capacity (Ah) of the battery supply- ing current should not be signifi- cantly below that of the discharged battery.
2. Use only heavy-duty jumper cables.
3. A discharged battery can freeze. A
frozen battery must be thawed out before connecting the jumper cables.
4. There should be no contact be-
tween the two vehicles; otherwisecurrent may flow when the positive terminal is connected.
5. The discharged battery must be correctly connected to the vehicleelectrical system.
6. Run the engine of the vehicle sup- plying current.
7. Connect the jumper cables as fol-
lows:
(1) Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the flat battery, and the other end to the positive terminal of the booster battery.
(2) Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative ter-minal of the booster battery, and
