Audio System(s)
Determine which audio system the
vehicle has and then read the
following pages to become familiar
with its features.
{CAUTION
This system provides you with
far greater access to audio
stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to
entertainment tasks while
driving can cause a crash and
you or others can be injured or
killed. Always keep your eyes on
the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in
extended searching while
driving.Keeping your mind on the drive is
important for safe driving. See
Defensive Driving on page 8-16.
Here are some ways in which you
can help avoid distraction while
driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its
controls.
Familiarize yourself with its
operation.
Set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio
stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then,
when driving conditions permit,
you can tune to your favorite radio
stations using the presets and
remote control on the steering
wheel. SeeAudio Steering Wheel
Controls on page 6-24and the
audio system manual for more
information.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound,
but FM signals only reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere
with FM signals, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can
withstand most car washes without
being damaged, or it can be
removed. If the mast should ever
become slightly bent, straighten
it out by hand. If the mast is badly
bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure
the mast is still tightened to the
antenna base located on the roof of
the vehicle.
