Information Provided by:To prevent items from being thrown about the vehicle and possibly hurting someone in an accident or sudden stop, be sure the storage area lids are securely closed before driving away.

You can store items in the floor storage area up to 22 lbs (10 kg). Do not exceed this weight limit, or you may damage the floor storage area.

The inside of the storage area can get very hot. Do not store any items that should be kept cool, or items that can be easily damaged, warped, or deformed by heat.

Dust, sand, etc., can accumulate in the floor storage area. If you spill liquid on the floor around the floor storage area, it can get inside the storage area, and the moisture can be trapped inside. Always keep the inside of the storage area dry and clean.

Interior Convenience Items

To lock the small lid, open the large lid, and turn the lock knob clockwise.

LAZY SUSAN

Interior Convenience Items

The Lazy Susan can be damaged if it is kept in a humid place. Always store the Lazy Susan in a dry place when it is removed.

On EX and Touring models, the floor storage area has a Lazy Susan inside which makes it easier to find items through the small lid.

The Lazy Susan can be removed. When it is removed, a larger item, such as the stowable second row plus-one seat, can be stored.

HANDLE

To remove the Lazy Susan, open the large lid. Attach the hook to the grab rail on the back of the front seat to keep the lid open. Hold the two handles on the edge of the Lazy Susan, and pull it out of the storage area. Store the removed Lazy Susan in a safe place outside the vehicle. Do not place it on the vehicle floor or seat, or in the cargo area. It can fly around the interior in a crash.

Accessory Power Sockets

There are three accessory power sockets in your vehicle. Two accessory power sockets are above the center pocket for the front seat passengers, and another is on the cargo area sidewall on the driver’s side.

182

AC Power Outlet

These sockets are intended to supply power for 12 volt DC accessories that are rated 120 watts or less (10
amps).

None of the sockets will power an automotive type cigarette lighter element. When more than one socket is being used, the combined power rating of the accessories should be 120 watts or less (10 amps).

There is a 115 volt AC power outlet in the rear compartment on the driver’s side. To use the AC power outlet, open the rear compartment lid and open the outlet cover. Insert the plug into the receptacle slightly, turn it 90° clockwise, then push in the plug all the way.

Always run the engine when you use the AC Power Outlet.

Information Provided by:The maximum capacity for this power outlet is 115 volt AC at 100
watts or less. If you use an appliance which requires more than 100 watts, it automatically stops supplying the power. If this happens, turn the ignition switch off and turn it on again.

The AC power outlet is not

NOTE: designed for electric appliances which require high initial peak wattage such as cathode-ray tube type televisions, refrigerators, electric pumps, etc. It is also not suitable for devices that process precise data such as medical equipment or measuring instruments. Any appliances that require an extremely stable power supply such as microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc., should not be connected to this outlet.

Information Provided by:Radio Frequencies The radio can receive the complete AM and FM bands. Those bands cover these frequen- cies:

AM band: 530 to 1,710 kilohertz FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 megahertz

Radio stations on the AM band are assigned frequencies at least ten kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).

Stations must use these exact frequencies. It is fairly common for stations to round-off the frequency in their advertising, so your radio could display a frequency of 100.9 even though the announcer may identify the station as ‘‘FM101.’’

Radio Reception How well the radio receives stations is dependent on many factors, such as the distance from the station’s transmitter, nearby large objects, and atmospheric conditions.

A radio station’s signal gets weaker as you get farther away from its transmitter. If you are listening to an AM station, you will notice the sound volume becoming weaker and the station drifting in and out. If you are listening to an FM station, you will see the stereo indicator flickering off and on as the signal weakens. Eventually, the stereo indicator will go off and the sound will fade completely as you get out of range of the station’s signal.

AM/FM Radio Reception

Driving very near the transmitter of a station that is broadcasting on a frequency close to the frequency of the station you are listening to can also affect your radio’s reception. You may temporarily hear both stations, or hear only the station you are close to.

CONTINUED

205

Information Provided by:AM/FM Radio Reception

AsrequiredbytheFCC: Changesormodificationsnotexpressly approvedbythepartyresponsiblefor compliancecouldvoidtheuser’s authoritytooperatetheequipment.

Radio signals, especially on the FM band, are deflected by large objects such as buildings and hills. Your radio then receives both the direct signal from the station’s transmitter, and the deflected signal. This causes the sound to distort or flutter. This is a main cause of poor radio reception in city driving.

Radio reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as thunderstorms, high humidity, and even sunspots. You may be able to receive a distant radio station one day and not receive it the next day because of a change in conditions.

Electrical interference from passing vehicles and stationary sources can cause temporary reception problems.

Information Provided by:The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause satellite reception interruptions. To help compensate for this, ground-based repeaters are placed in major metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains the farther north you travel from the equator.
