Car audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio
system.
Do not put anything other than a cassette tape
or CD magazine into the cassette tape slot or
CD changer.
The use of 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, 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 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 problems 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
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.
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.

Correct
Wrong
Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you
set them into the magazine. Hold them on the edge
and do not bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints on
them, particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc
damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a
section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up
to the light.)
