grid lines to attach a cellular
telephone antenna without
interfering with radio reception.Notice:

sharp object to clear the inside of
the rear side windows may affect
radio reception or damage the
rear side window antenna.
Repairs would not be covered by
the warranty. Do not clear the
inside of the rear side windows
with sharp objects.
Notice: Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the antenna due to metallic tinting
materials will not be covered by
the warranty.

located on the roof of the vehicle.
