Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, an
d signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation is subject to the following conditions: The device may not cause harmful inter- ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signals follow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received over longer dis- tances.
Because of the limite
d range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM reception.When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception ca
n be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before the reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
NOTE
Reset the time after the 12V starter battery terminals are disconnect
ed and reconnected.
Seconds do not appear
in the clock display,
but after adjusting the
“minutes” setting, the
clock begins to opera
te from 0 seconds.

Remove the valve insert (G) by turning it counterclockwise using the valve remover(F). Put the removed valve insert in a clean place so it does not get dirty.
WA R N I N G The tire sealant can
cause health damage
if swallowed. If you
accidentally swallow
it, drink as much water as possible and immediately seek medical attention. If the tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your skin, rinse it away with lots of water. If you still sense an
abnormality, seek
medical attention. Consult a doctor immediately if any aller- gic reactions occur. Do not allow children to touch the tire sealant.CAUTION If the vehicle body is contaminated by the tire sealant, wipe the tire sealant off immedi- ately with a wet cloth. Immediately wash clothes contaminated with tire sealant.
NOTE
Do not pull out an object, such as a nail or screw, that penetrat
es the punctured tire.
Move the vehicle so that the tire valve is positioned away from the point where the tire touches the ground. If the valve is nearthe point where the tire touches the ground, the sealant may not enter the tire easily.
