Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur duringnormal radio reception if items such as cell phonechargers, vehicle convenience accessories, andexternal electronic devices are plugged into theaccessory 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 stationfrequencies to interfere with each other. For better radioreception, most AM radio stations boost the powerlevels during the day, and then reduce these levelsduring the night. Static can also occur when things likestorms and power lines interfere with radio reception.When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit thatautomatically works to reduce interference, some staticcan occur, especially around tall buildings or hills,causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio receptionfrom coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hillscan interfere with satellite radio signals, causing thesound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling orstanding under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,or tunnels may cause loss of the XM signal for a periodof time.
4-107

Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with thevehicle's radio. This interference may occur whenmaking or receiving phone calls, charging the phone'sbattery, or simply having the phone on. Thisinterference causes an increased level of static whilelistening to the radio. If static is received while listeningto the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.
Rear Side Window Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is located in the passenger rearside windows. Make sure the inside surfaces of the rearside windows are not scratched and that the lines onthe glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces aredamaged, they could interfere with radio reception.
If a cellular telephone antenna needs to be attached tothe glass, make sure that the grid lines for the AM-FMantenna are not damaged. There is enough spacebetween the grid lines to attach a cellular telephoneantenna without interfering with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clearthe inside of the rear side windows may affect radioreception or damage the rear side window antenna.Repairs would not be covered by the warranty. Donot clear the inside of the rear side windows withsharp objects.
Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting withmetallic film. The metallic film in some tintingmaterials will interfere with or distort the incomingradio reception. Any damage caused to the antennadue to metallic tinting materials will not be coveredby the warranty.
XM™Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof ofthe vehicle. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions forclear radio reception.
