signal lights to simultaneously flash
once upon receiving the signals
from the remote control unit.
Should you lose the remote control

Avoid getting water on the remote
control unit, dropping it, hitting it
against another object, or stepping
on it; otherwise, the remote control
unit could malfunction.
Do not leave the remote control unit
on the dashboard or any other
surface where the unit might be
exposed to high temperatures
(exceeding 60°C/140°F). Doing so
may result in shorter battery life or
malfunction of the remote
control unit.
If the keyless entry system fails to
operate normally, lock and unlock
the doors using the key and have
the system inspected by your
dealer.The lock or unlock buttons on the
remote control unit must be fully
pressed for more than 1 second
to work.
If you do not open any doors within
about 30 seconds after pressing the
unlock button to unlock the doors,
the automatic locking function of the
system will lock the doors again to
prevent theft.
In areas near a TV tower, electric
power plant, radio station, etc. or
under any conditions involving
strong electrical disturbances, the
remote control unit operating range
might change or the keyless entry
system might not work.
The keyless entry system does not
operate in the following cases:
.
The engine control switch is in
the "ON" position.
. The key is inserted in the engine
control switch.
. One of the doors is open.Replacing the Battery in the

{Warning
Adjust the radio or CD player only
while the vehicle is stationary.
Adjusting them while the vehicle
is moving could cause a crash.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Adjust the volume so that sound
outside of the vehicle can be heard.
If outside sound cannot be heard,
crashes may be harder to avoid.
Do not install a radio equipment
antenna near the vehicle's radio
antenna. This could cause
unwanted noise on the radio or
while playing a CD. The radio or CD/USB player can be
used when the ignition is on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY. Continued use
while engine is stopped may cause
the battery to discharge.
Take care not to spill liquids, etc. on
the radio or CD player. It may cause
damage to the player.
Do not disassemble or apply oil to
radio or CD player.

is stored, the Preset button
number and station frequency
appear on the display window.Radio Reception
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there is a
problem with your radio. It is just the
normal result of conditions outside
the vehicle. For example, nearby
buildings and terrain can interfere
with FM reception. Power lines or
telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals.
And of course, radio signals have a
limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with your radio.
FM Transmissions
Fading and drifting stations -
Generally, the effective range of FM
is about 40 km (25 miles). Once
outside this range, you may notice
fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path - FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for two
signals to reach your antenna at the
same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss
of reception.
Static and fluttering - These occur
when signals are blocked by
buildings, trees, or other large
objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping - If the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
