Do the following measures eliminate the noise?
@ Tune to a station with a strong signal.
l Extend the antenna completely. (Whip antenna)
l Adjust the sound quality to suppress high tones.

About multipath noise and fading noise
Because the frequency of FM waves is extreme-
ly high, it is highly susceptible to effects from
geological formations and buildings. These ef-
fects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct
‘reception in several ways.l Multipath noise
This describes the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruc-
tion and enters the receiver with a slight time
delay relative to the direct signal (repetitious
buzzing).l Fading noise
This is a buzzing noise that occurs when the
broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing ob-
jects and the signal strength fluctuates intricately
within a narrow range.

ANTENNA POLE REPLACEMENT(1) Remove the ring nut.
(2) Set the radio switch to ON. After the antenna pole has
extended, remove the antenna pole and rack cable as
an assembly._.(3) Extend the antenna pole up to its farthest point.
NOTEIf the motor end of the rack cable is bent, straighten it.
(4) Force the rack cable into the motor assembly with the
tooth side of the rack cable toward the luggage compart-
ment.(5) Turn the tooth side of the rack cable toward the rear of
the vehicle
(90” clockwise) to bring the rack cable into
mesh with the motor gear.
(6)Lightly pull the rack cable. If it comes out without resistance,
it means that the rack cable is not in mesh with the motor
gear. Recheck that the rack cable end is not bent before
repeating the above-mentioned steps (2) and (3).(7) With the antenna pole upright and the radio switch at
OFF, take up the rack cable. As the rack cable is takenup, insert the antenna pole toward the motor antenna.
(8) After the ring nut has been tightened, set the radio switchto ON and OFF to check the operation of the antenna
pole.

1.ARMING / DISARMING RELATIONSHIP
Trouble symptomThe system is not armed (The
SECURITY light doesn’t illumi-
nate, and the alarm doesn’t func-
tion.)
(The central door locking system
functions normally.
If the central locking system doesnot function normally, refer to
GROUP 42.)
The arming procedures are fol-
lowed, but the SECURITY light
does not illuminate.(There is an alarm, however,
when an alarm test is conductedafter about 20 seconds have
passed.)
The alarm sounds in error when,
while the system is armed, a door
or the liftgate is unlocked by us-

NOTEIf the
lifigate unlock switch or door key cylinder unlock switch is operated roughly, or if these switches have
been installed incorrectly or switches themselves are defective the ECU may not accept the warning or alarmcancelling signal. In such case, the alarm operation will take place when the door is opened using a key.
[When the door key cylinder switch has been shorted, however, if the ignition switch is turned ON, the ECU
judges the detection-switch as faulty and thereafter, it will prevent setting of (warning) alarm until the shorting
is corrected.]
If the
liftgate is opened using a key and is left opened when the door key cylinder switch system has a trouble
(wiring harness damage, open circuit, etc.), the ECU judges it as the
liftgate holding mode and does not producealarm even when the door is opened.
