(d) Your radio antenna
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear quarter windows.
NOTICE
Attaching the film (especially con-
ductive or metallic type) on the rear
quarter windows will noticeably re-
duce the sensitivity of the radio.
(e) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, insert it with
the exposed tape side to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the cassette
player, and do not insert anything
except a cassette tape into the slot.
(f) Your compact disc player
When you insert a compact disc, insert
it with the label side up. The compact
disc player will play from track 1 through
the end of the disc. Then it will play from
track 1 again.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Do
not insert anything other than com-
pact discs into the slot.
The player is intended for use with 12
cm (4.7 in.) discs only.

To ensure the correct audio system
operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the system.
Do not put anything other than a

the slot.
The use of cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the system
which you are listening to. Howev-
er, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—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 prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations—Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi−path—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.
