NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
z Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
z Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the CD/DVD
player slot.
z The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/video system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the 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,
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
— Gener-
ally, 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 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.
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.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected
by the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can in-
terfere with those received directly from
the radio station, causing the radio sta-
tion to sound alternately strong and
weak.
Station interference — When a re-
flected signal and a signal received di-
rectly from a radio station are very nearly
the same frequency, they can interfere
with each other, making it difficult to hear
the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by exter-
nal sources of electrical noise, such as
high tension power lines, lightening, or
electrical motors. This results in static.
