12. AUDIO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading  and  drifting  stations:  Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25 miles
(40 km). Once outside this range, you may
notice  fading  and  drifting,  which  increase
with  the  distance  from  the  radio  transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing 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  re-
ception.
Static  and  fluttering :  These  occur  when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other  large  objects.  Increasing  the  bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station  swapping :  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.
Fading :  AM  broadcasts  are  reflected  by
the  upper  atmosphere    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 :  When  a  reflected
signal and a signal received directly from a
radio station are very nearly the same fre-
quency, they can interfere with each other,
making it difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static :  AM  is  easily  affected  by  external
sources  of  electrical  noise,  such  as  high
tension  power  lines,  lightening,  or  electri-
cal motors. This re sults in static.
NOTICE
●To avoid damaging the audio system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
• Do  not  put  anything  other  than  on appropriate  discs  into  the  CD  player
slot.
INFORMATION
● The  use  of  a  cellular  phone  inside  or
near the vehicle may cause a noise from
the  speakers  of  the  audio  system  which
you  are  listening  to.  However,  this  does
not indicate a malfunction.
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 ter-
rain  can  interfere  with  FM  reception.
Power lines or telephone wires can in-
terfere with AM signals. And of course,
radio signals have a limited range, and
the  farther  you  are  from  a  station,  the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception  conditions  change  constantly
as your vehicle moves.
Here  are  some  common  reception
problems that probably do not indicate
a problem with your radio.
