Radio reception can be af f ected by
atmospheric conditions such as
thunderstorms, high humidity, and
even sunspots. You may be able to
receive a distant radio station one
day and not receive it the next day
because of a change in conditions.
Electrical interf erence f rom passing
vehicles and stationary sources can
cause temporary reception problems.The audio system display usually
shows the time when the ignition
switch is in ACCESSORY (I) or ON
(II). It shows the operation mode of
the radio, cassette player, or CD
changer when you operate them,
then goes back to the time display
af ter f ive seconds.
If an error occurs while operating
the CD changer, the display will
keep showing the error code and will
not switch to the time display until
the error is corrected (see page ).
You can set the time only when the
