AUDIO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system operations:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audiosystem.
Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or CDinto the cassette tape slot or CD slot.
The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehiclemay cause a noise from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to. However, thisdoes not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is
a problem with your radio Ð it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with
FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range. The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with your radio: FM
Fading
and drifting stations Ð Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi±path Ð FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering Ð These occur when signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.

AUDIO
288Station swapping Ð If the FM signal you are listening to is
interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked up again.
AM
Fading Ð AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere Ð especially at night. These reflected signals can
interfere with those received directly from the radio station,
causing
the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference Ð When a reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static Ð AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
 A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)

REAR SEAT AUDIO SYSTEM
The rear seat audio system is designed for the rear seat
passengers to enjoy the audio sound separately between
the front seats and the rear seats.
The rear seat audio system can be turned on with the rear
audio system remote control even if the front audio system is
off. When the front audio is turned off, the rear audio system
will be turned off simultaneously.
The rear passengers can enjoy all the modes (AM and FM
radio, cassette tape player and CD player with changer) with
the rear seat audio system when a cassette tape and a CD are
loaded in the front audio system.
When the same mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, the system can be operated on the
front audio system.
If the radio mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, AM and FM modes cannot be
changed on the rear seat audio system.
