AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position before turning on the radio. If
you listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
4-2

from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
(for U.S.)
HD RadioTMTechnology reception needs to
be activated to receive HD Radio broad-
casts.
“Audio settings” (page 4-32)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive
analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large building
for the satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite service is available only to those at least 18 and older in the 48 contiguous
United States and DC.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
