• 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
clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother 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.
JBM005
CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a mobile phone or a radioset inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted. When a mobile 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 mobile phone when you
are driving. You should stop at a
safe place to use a mobile phone.

WARNING - ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment,
move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows.
• Never inhale exhaust gas.
Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may
result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is
inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists.
Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is danger-
ous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage.
If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to
the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area.
To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed b y
snow leaves etc..
