compact discs and inside the audio system, prevent-
ing normal operation.
²When there is high humidity (for example, when it
is raining).
²When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right
after the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to
dry out.

tions, such as during off-road driving, the tracking

the center hole.
