Ge ne ral ad vi ce
During norm al radio rece ption, you m ay
experience frequency interference and
static if items such as mobile phone
charge rs , v ehicle conve nience a cces s orie s,
and e xte rnal elec tronic de vice s are
plugge d into the acc es sory power s ocke t.
If there is inte rfe rence or static, unplug the

FM reception
Des pite a high de gree of technical
pe rfe ction, re cep tion in v ehicle radio se ts is
different from that in home radio sets
a n d s o m e i nt e r f er en ce m a y o ccu r , e ven
with F M-RDS stations.
Tall buildings or hills can interfere w ith FM
s igna ls, causing s ound to fade in and out.
FM stereo w ill give the best sound,
but F M s ignals w ill re ach only a pprox.
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).AM reception
The range for most AM stations is g re ater
than for F M, e spe cially at nig ht. The longer
ra ng e can cause sta tion freq uencies to
inte rfe re with each other. For be tter rad io
re ce ption, most AM radio s tations will
boos t the powe r le vels during the day, and
the n reduce these le ve ls d uring the night.
Static can a ls o occur whe n eve nts s uch as
storms interfe re with radio re cep tion. W he n
this happe ns, try red ucing the treble on
your Infotainment sy stem.Hand ling C Ds
