Things You Need to Know

WARNING

Always adjust the audio while the 

vehicle is stopped:

Do not adjust the audio control 

switches while driving the vehicle. 

Adjusting the audio while driving 

the vehicle is dangerous as it could 

distract your attention from the vehicle 

operation which could lead to a 

serious accident. 

Even if the audio control switches are 

equipped on the steering wheel, learn 

to use the switches without looking 

down at them so that you can keep 

your maximum attention on the road 

while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION

For the purposes of safe driving, 

adjust the audio volume to a level that 

allows you to hear sounds outside of 

the vehicle including car horns and 

particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

NOTE



  To prevent the battery from being 

discharged, do not leave the audio 

system on for a long period of time 

when the engine is not running.



  If a cellular phone or CB radio is used 

in or near the vehicle, it could cause 

noise to occur from the audio system, 

however, this does not indicate that the 

system has been damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio 

system.

 Radio Reception

AM characteristics

AM signals bend around such things as 

buildings or mountains and bounce off the 

ionosphere.

Therefore, they can reach longer distances 

than FM signals.

Because of this, two stations may 

sometimes be picked up on the same 

frequency at the same time.
