## What is wrong

NOTE: GASOLINE POWERED FUEL INJECTED VEHICLES.

DURING WINTER PERIODS OF LOW TEMPERATURE WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, THE AIR PRE\-HEATING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT THROTTLE ICING DURING LONG DISTANCE DRIVING DUE TO PRE\-HEATER VACUUM SWITCH CONTAMINATION.  THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED.

CORRECTION:  A DE\-ICING KIT WILL BE INSTALLED IN AFFECTED VEHICLES.
