PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate
the audio system while the vehicle is in
motion, so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before operat-
ing the audio system and playing movies
(if equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods of
time with the engine turned off can dis-
charge the vehicle battery.

Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is 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 ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in re-
ception quality are normally 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 ex-
tend 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 best quality equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are com-
pletely normal in a given reception area, and
do not indicate any malfunction in your radio
system.
