Audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system operations:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or CDinto the cassette tape slot or CD slot.
The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehiclemay cause a noise from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to. However, thisdoes 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:
