power for mobile telephones or other
devices designed to operate with vehicle
electrical systems. The devices should
draw less than 10 amps with the engine
running.Digital clock
Whenever the battery terminals, related
fuses are disconnected, you must reset
the time.

CAUTION
Only use the power outlet when
the engine is running. The use ofthis outlet with the engine notrunning may cause the battery to
be discharged.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 10A in elec-tric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use. Some electronic devices can cause electronic interferencewhen plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices maycause excessive audio static and malfunctions in other electronicsystems or devices used in your
vehicle.

WARNING
Do not adjust the clock while driv-
ing. You may lose your steering
control and cause severe personal
injury or accidents.

Antenna
Manual antenna (if equipped)
Your car uses a manual stainless steel
antenna to receive both AM and FM
broadcast signals. Pull up the antenna
using your fingers, as shown in the draw-ing.
✽✽
NOTICE
Before entering an automatic car wash
or a place with a low height clearance,
be sure that the antenna is fully retract-ed.
Glass antenna (if equipped)
When the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the ON
or ACC position, your car will receiveboth AM and FM broadcast signals
through the antenna in the rear window
glass.

CAUTION
• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass or quarter glasswith a cleaner or use a scraper to remove any foreign deposits as
this may cause damage to the antenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. Thesecan interfere with AM/FM recep-
tion.

How car audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around your
city. They are intercepted by the radio anten-
na 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:

Features of your vehicle
Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you selectanother 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, selectanother station until the condition haspassed. Using a mobile phone or a two-
way radio When a mobile phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the
mobile phone at a place as far as possi-
ble from the audio equipment.

CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a mobile phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted. When a mobile phone or a radio setis 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.
