This does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the audio equipment.In such a case, use the cellular phone at aplace as far as possible from the audio equip-ment. CAUTION: When using a communication system such as a mobile phone or a radio inside thevehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted.When a mobile phone or a radio set isused with an internal antenna alone, it mayinterfere with the vehicle's electrical sys-tem and adversely affect safe operation ofthe vehicle. WARNING: Don't use a mobile phone when you are driving, you must stop at a safe place touse a mobile phone.

o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is becauseyour radio is designed to lock onto the clearestsignal. If this occurs, select another stationwith a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be- ing received from several directions can causedistortion or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and a reflected signal from the samestation, or by signals from two stations withclose frequencies. If this occurs, select an-other station until the condition has passed.SSAR013A
o Fading - As your car moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select another strongerstation.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter andyour radio can disturb the signal causingstatic or fluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen this effect untilthe disturbance clears.
