Power antenna maintenance and care
*
[AS14950(ALL)02/95]
q
Never drive your vehicle through a car wash
with the power antenna mast extended. This
can cause damage to the antenna mast, which
is not covered under warranty. Turn off your
radio and/or the vehicle. This will
automatically retract the antenna.
*
[AS15000(ALL)02/95]
q
If your power antenna mast ever becomes
damaged, the mast may not extend or retract
properly which might limit reception
performance. In this case, it is not necessary
to replace the entire power antenna assembly.
A replacement mast can be obtained from
your dealership for a nominal fee.
*
[AS15050(ALL)02/95]
q
Occasionally, the power antenna mast should
be wiped clean with mild soap and water or
denatured alcohol. This prevents debris from
accumulating on the mast which can cause
excessive wear and decrease the power
antenna life. Never use petroleum-based
products to clean your antenna mast.
