NOTICE Use the power outlet when the engine
is running, and remove a plug from
the power outlet after using the elec-
tric appliance. Using the power outlet
excessively or while the engine is not
running or leaving appliances plugged
into the power outlet when not in use
will cause battery discharge
 Only use the electric appliances which are less than 12V and 10A in electric
capacity.
 Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operation level when you
have to use the power socket while
using air-conditioner or heater.
 Close the cover when not in use.
 Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when plugged
into a vehicle’s power outlet. These
devices may cause excessive audio
static and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used in your
vehicle.
Digital clock (if equipped)Whenever the battery terminals or mem-
ory fuse are disconnected, you must
reset the time.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or
ON position, the clock buttons operates
as follows:  HOUR:
Pressing the “H”button with your fin-
ger, a pencil or similar object will
advance the time displayed by one
hour.
 MINUTE: Pressing the “M”button with your fin-
ger, a pencil or similar object will
advance the time displayed by one
minute.
 RESET:
To clear away minutes, press the “R”
button with your finger, a pencil or sim-
ilar object. Then the clock will be set
precisely on the hour.
For example, if the “R ” button is
pressed while the time is between 9:01
and 9:29, the display will be reset to
9:00.
9:01 ~ 9:29 ➾ 9:00

3To keep items from shifting in the trunk,
you can use the four rings located in the
trunk to attach the cargo net.
✽ ✽

Roof type antenna (if equipped)If your vehicle has an audio system, an
amplifying antenna is installed in your
vehicle.
This antenna can be adjusted up and
down or removed from the vehicle when
you wash your vehicle.✽ ✽NOTICE Be sure to remove the antenna before
washing the car in an automatic car
wash or it may be damaged.
 When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tightened to
ensure proper reception.

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your car. This signal is
then received by the radio and sent to
your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:AUDIO SYSTEM

3 Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you select
another stronger station.
 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears. 
Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-
er station with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar 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 radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.

Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped)Because the thickness of a cassette tape
with the total playback time of over 60
minutes (C-60) are too thin, we suggest
that you do not use any of them to avoid
having tapes being tangled.
 To achieve better sound quality, periodi-
cally clean the tape head using a cotton
stick with colorless alcohol (once per
month).
 If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by
winding with objects like a pencil.
 Because dust or foreign objects on a cas-
sette tape may damage the playback
head, always store tapes in their cases
when not in use.
 Make sure cassette tapes are kept away
from magnetic devices (TV, stereo sys-
tem, etc) in order to achieve better sound
quality.
 Be certain that no objects or substances
other than cassette tapes are inserted
into the cassette tape player.
 Because tape media can be distorted
when exposed to direct sunlight, Do not
leave cassette tapes on the seats, dash-
board or near the back windshield.
Care of disc (if equipped)If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows for ventila-
tion before using your car audio.
 It is illegal to copy and use
MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission. Use CDs that are created
only by lawful means.
 Do not apply volatile agents such as
benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
 To prevent the disc surface from get-
ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by
the edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
 Clean the disc surface with a piece of
soft cloth before playback (wipe it from
the center to the outside edge.)
 Do not damage the disc surface or
attach pieces of sticky tape or paper
onto it.
 Make sure on undesirable matter other
than CDs are inserted into the CD
player (Do not insert more than one
CD at a time). 
Keep CDs in their cases after use to
protect them from scratches or dirt.
 Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-
RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturing
companies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your car
audio system.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
- Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy-protected CDs, which do not
comply with the international audio CD
standards(Red Book), may not play on
your car audio. Please note that if you
try to play copy protected CDs and the
CD player of your car audio is not per-
forming to your expectation, this may be
caused by those CDs and not a defect in
the device itself. Please replace those
CDs.
