Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(ALL)02/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
*
[AS35400(ALL)04/95]
1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)02/95]
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.

[AS36200(ALL)01/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(ALL)01/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS36400(ALL)01/95]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas) several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS36500(ALL)01/95]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM
and FM bands has been incorporated into this
system to reduce strong signal capture and
overload.

All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS36700(ALL)06/95]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM radio stations may use for their
broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM:
530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM:
87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
*
[AS36800(ALL)06/95]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given
area. This radio will tune to each of these
frequencies using manual tune and no fine
tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use
other frequencies.

Octane recommendations
*
[SV08850(ALL)05/95]
Your engine is designed to use fuel with an
octane rating of 87. In most cases it is not
necessary to use a fuel with an octane rating
higher than 87. At service stations, the octane
rating is displayed in a label on the pumps.
[SV09000(ALL)05/95]
Your 2.5L engine is designed to use fuel with
an octane rating of 91 or higher.In some parts
of the country ªpremiumº grade fuels are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91 especially in
high altitude areas. We recommend that you use
only those ªpremiumº fuels with an octane
rating of 91 or higher.
*
[SV09100(ALL)05/95]
Using a fuel with a lower octane rating can
cause persistent and heavy knocking, which can
damage the engine.
*
[SV09200(ALL)05/95]
Do not be concerned if your vehicle sometimes
knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when
you accelerate. However, see your dealer or a
qualified service technician if persistent heavy
knocking occurs because this can damage the
engine.
