AUDIO SYSTEM
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you install an aftermarket HID
head lamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic device may malfunction.
Antenna
Roof antenna
Your car uses a roof antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast
signals. This antenna is a removable
type.
To remove the antenna, turn it coun-
terclockwise. To install the antenna,
turn it clockwise.
When reinstalling your antenna, it is
important that it is fully tightened and
adjusted to the upright position to
ensure proper reception. But it could
be removed when parking the vehi-
cle or when loading cargo on the roof
rack. When cargo is loaded on the roof
rack, do not place the cargo near the
antenna pole to ensure proper
reception.
CAUTION
Before entering a place with a
low height clearance or a carwash, remove surely the anten-na by rotating it counter-clock-wise. If not, the antenna may bedamaged.

AUX, USB port (if equipped)
You can use the AUX port to connect
audio devices and the USB port to
plug in a USB device or iPod
®.
✽ ✽NOTICE
When using a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise
may occur during playback. If this
happens, use the power source of the
portable audio device.
How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to many factors,
such as the distance from the radio
station, closeness of other strong
radio stations or the presence of
buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.

FM reception
SC CAN (ENG) 5(audio).qxp 6/7/2019 9:52 AM Page 3
Page 229 of 516

Audio system
54AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature
of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstruc-
tions so that they can provide better
signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade at short distances from
the station. Also, FM signals are eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The
following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears.

Station Swapping - As a FM signalweakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. If this occurs,
try using the cellular phone as far
away as possible from the audio
equipment.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
JBM005
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle control
that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and death.
The driver's primary responsibili-
ty is in the safe and legal opera-
tion of the vehicle, and any hand-
held devices, other equipment, or
vehicle systems which take the
driver's eyes, attention, and focus
away from the safe operation of
the vehicle, or which are not per-
missible by law, should never be
used during operation of the
vehicle.
