B730A01L-EAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at "Recircula- tion". Be sure to return the control to"Fresh" when the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in the ve- hicle. This will help keep the driveralert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just aheadof the windscreen. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc-tions.

o Station Swapping - As a FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig- nal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto the clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger sig- nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several di-rections can cause distortion or flut- tering. This can be caused by adirect and a reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from two stations with close frequencies. Ifthis occurs, select another station until the condition has passed. B750B03Y-EAT 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 doesnot mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as faras possible from the audio equipment.
!
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such as a mobile phone or aradio inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a mobile phone or a radio set isused with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical system and adversely affectsafe operation of the vehicle.
!WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone whilst you are driving.
