Features of your vehicle
Power outlet (if equipped)
The 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.

CAUTION- Vanity mirrorlamp
If you use the vanity mirror lamp,
turn off the lamp before return thesunvisor to its original position. Itcould result in battery dischargeand possible sunvisor damage.
CAUTION
Use the power outlet only when the 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. 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 yourvehicle.
WARNING
Do not put a finger or a foreign ele-
ment (pin, etc.) into a power outlet

Features of your vehicle
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
buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-
tions. These can result in certain listening
conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your radio.
The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another 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 another
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, select
another station until the condition has
passed.

Satellite radio receptionYou may experience difficulties in receiv-
ing SIRIUS®satellite radio signals in the
following situations.
If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov- ered parking area.
If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
If you drive under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks
the signal.
If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the
signal from the satellite. If you are driving on a mountain road
where is the signal blocked by moun-
tains.
If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (30 ft. / 10m
or more), for example on an road that
goes through a dense forest.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the SIR-
IUS
®Satellite Radio repeater network.
NOTE:
There may be other unforeseen cir-
cumstances leading to reception
problems with the SIRIUS
®satellite
radio signal.
