Common Radio Reception
Conditions
*
[AS35300(F )08/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
*
[AS35400(F )08/95]
1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(F )08/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.
*
[AS35575(F )08/95]
NOTE: Always make sure your antenna
(whether you have a power antenna or
a manually adjustable antenna) is fully
extended to its maximum length for
proper reception. If your antenna is not
fully extended, you may experience
signal loss while traveling in fringe
reception areas.

Lap Belts
[SS16900(F )05/96]
The lap belts for center seating position
occupants do not have retractors, but do have a
locking adjustable tongue. They should be
shortened and fastened to buckle when you are
not using them. To lengthen your belt, tip the
belt tongue at a right angle to the belt and pull
the belt over your lap until the tongue reaches
the buckle.

Safety Belt Extension Assembly
*
[SS20200(F )01/96]
For some people, the safety belt may be too
short even when it is fully extended. You can
add about eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length
with a safety belt extension assembly (part
number 611C22). Safety belt extensions are
available at no cost from your dealer.
*
[SS20300(F )01/96]
Use only extensions manufactured by the same
supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer
identification is located at the end of the
webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt
extension only if the safety belt is too short for
you when fully extended. Do not use extension
to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.
