Turn signal lever and functions
*
[SC01800(ALL)11/89]
If the turn indicator light in the instrument panel does not
illuminate or remains on (doesn't flash) when you signal a turn,
the turn signaling system is malfunctioning. Have this condition
corrected as soon as possible, but make sure that you use the
accepted hand signals in the meantime.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(ALL)08/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:
*
[AS35400(ALL)08/95]1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)08/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM
signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this
distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal
becomes weaker.
*
[AS35600(ALL)08/95]2.
Terrain
*
[AS35700(ALL)08/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS35900(ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ºbendsª around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ºshadowª of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.

Electronic Sound Systems
153
*
[AS36000(ALL)08/95]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the
reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to
pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
*
[AS36100(ALL)08/95]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has
been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically
switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS36400(ALL)08/95]
When several broadcast towers are present (common in
metropolitan areas) several stations may overload the receiver,
resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS36500(ALL)08/95]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has
been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal
capture and overload.

n
oncoming motorists frequently signal you to turn off your
vehicle's high beams when you do not have the high beams
on
*
[SV45600(ALL)01/95]
n
the headlamps do not seem to give you enough light to see
clearly at night
*
[SV45700(ALL)01/95]
n
the headlamp beams are pointed substantially away from a
position slightly down and to the right
