(CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
■

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is operating while set-
ting up the display features.
