AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Operat-
ing the audio system for extended
periods of time with the engine turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to mal-
function.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio with the engine not
running, the ignition switch should be placed
in 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 AM and FM 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

3. Audio system
BLUETOOTH® AUDIO
.Some Bluetooth® audio devices may not
be recognized by the in-vehicle audio
system.
. It is necessary to set up the wireless
connection between a compatible Blue-
tooth® audio device and the in-vehicle
Bluetooth® module before using the
Bluetooth® audio.
. The Bluetooth® audio may stop playing
when
— receiving a hands-free call.
— checking the connection to the hands- free phone.
— connecting the hands-free phone or the audio device.
— downloading the phonebook memory from the connected cellular phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth® audio device
in an area surrounded by metal or far
away from the in-vehicle Bluetooth®
module to prevent tone quality degrada-
tion and wireless connection disruption.
. While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth® wireless connec-
tion, the battery of the device may discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth®
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Con-
trol Profile (AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or
disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.AUDIO OPERATIONS
