FM reception
Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the
surrounding area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and trans-
mitter distance. Buildings or other obstructions may cause momentary
static, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsat-
isfactory, switch to a stronger station.
Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing a citizen band ra- dio or other transmitting device in your vehicle. Such devices may cause
the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly
installed or if they are not suited for the vehicle.
