RADIO Notes on radio reception
Your car radio receiver is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic sets. Both MW/LW and FM recep- tion are subject to various forms of interference which are not a reflection on the quality of your set, but are dueto the nature of the signals and the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing underneath high voltage power lines or bridges or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of distance from the transmitter, reflection of the signal by obstacles (moun-
tains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter. Selecting the radio Press the " J" button.

tion and stability. Starting is in 2ndgear and changing down is at lowengine speeds. Special operating features During prolonged braking, the
gearbox changes down automatically,
so as to provide efficient enginebraking.
