Troubleshooting
Digital Audio Delay :Wait for the
signal to process. This can take
several seconds.
Volume Change, Audio Skip,
Echo, Digital Audio Lost : Channel
signal strength may be weak or the
channel is out of range. Verify
proper reception on another
channel.
If the HD Radio signal loses
reception while listening to channel
HD1, the radio will go back to the
main non-HD Radio channel.
If the HD Radio signal loses
reception while listening to channels
HD2 to HD8, the radio mutes until
the signal can be recovered or until
the channel is changed.
HD can be disabled if driving in a
weak signal area. Touch Menu from
the AM-FM screens, then touch HD
Radio to toggle HD on and off.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the
accessory power outlets if there is
interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
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. Static can also occur
when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception.
When this happens, try reducing the
treble on the radio.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as
making or receiving phone calls,
charging, or just having the phone
on may cause static interference in
the radio. Unplug the phone or turn
it off if this happens.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger in the
rear window. Do not scratch the
inside surface or damage the lines
in the glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.
If attaching a cell phone antenna to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear
window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
