D280500AENPower outletThe power outlet is designed to provide
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.
D281300AHMAC inverter (if equipped)The AC inverter supplies 115VAC/150W
electric power to operate electric acces-
sories or equipment when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or engine is
running.
CAUTION
Use the power outlet only whenthe engine is running and removethe accessory plug after use.Using the accessory plug for pro-longed periods of time with theengine off could cause the bat- tery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 10A in elec-tric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operatinglevel when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
(Continued)
(Continued) 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 put a finger or a foreign ele-
ment (pin, etc.) into a power outlet
and do not touch with a wet hand.
You may get an electric shock.

conducts a self-check.
WARNING
The AC inverter can be dangerous!
When using the AC inverter, care-
fully observe the following precau-
tions to avoid serious injuries.
Do not use heated electric prod-
ucts (coffeepot, toaster, heater,
iron, etc.).
Do not insert foreign objects into or touch the AC inverter; you may
get shocked.
Do not let children operate or touch the AC inverter.
When not using the AC inverter, close the cover.
CAUTION
When not using the AC inverter, make sure that the switch isturned off, and is closed the ACinverter cover.
Only use the AC inverter when the engine is running, and removethe plug from the AC inverter afterusing the accessory. Using when the engine is not running or leav-ing the accessory plugged in for along time may cause the battery to discharge.
Do not use electric accessories or equipment with maximum elec-tric power consumption greaterthan 150W (115VAC).
(Continued)
(Continued) Some electronic devices can cause electronic interferencewhen plugged into the AC invert-er. These devices may cause excessive audio noise and mal-functions in other electronic sys-tems or devices used in your vehicle.
Do not use broken electric acces- sories or equipment, as they maydamage the AC inverter and vehi-cle's electrical system.
Do not use two or more electric accessories or equipment at thesame time.
When input voltage is under 11V, the outlet LED and indicator willblink, and will automatically turnoff.

CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance, be sure that theroof antenna is removed.
Be sure to remove the roof anten- na before washing the car in anautomatic car wash or it may bedamaged.
When reinstalling your roof antenna, it is important that it isfully tightened and adjusted tothe upright position to ensureproper reception. But it could be removed when parking the vehi-cle or when loading cargo on theroof rack.
When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo nearthe antenna pole to ensure properreception.
CAUTION
Do not clean the inside of the rear quarter glass with a cleaner oruse a scraper to remove any for- eign deposits as this may causedamage to the antenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. Thesecan interfere with FM reception.

D300800AHMHow vehicle audio worksAM(MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This signal is then received by the radio
and sent to your vehicle 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(MW, LW) broadcasts can be
received at greater distances than FM
broadcasts. This is because AM(MW,
LW) radio waves are transmitted at low
frequencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature of
the earth rather than travelling straight
out into the atmosphere. In addition, they
curve around obstructions so that they
can provide better 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:
