sensor has deviated for reasons such
as a collision.
The vehicle is affected by other sound
waves such as the horn, engine noise,
ultrasonic sensor of another vehicle.

hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident. Set the temperature control to
the hot or warm position when using the
switch.
NOTE
(With A/C switch)
Fogging on the windows clears up more
easily while the air conditioner is on,
but they will fog up more easily if the air
conditioner is turned off.
