noise. If the signal becomes extremely
weak, the radio switches from stereo to
mono reception. In this case, “Stereo”
disappears from the screen.

When RDS is on, the radio can
—select only stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting
the same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning lo-
cal and national emergencies (even if
RDS function is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use
only on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information.

message on the display on and off.
“Alternate Frequency”: Turn automatic
selection of RDS network playing the
same network broadcast on and off.
“Regionalization”: Turn RDS network

Alert announcements will come on when
the RDS station is received. “ALERT” ap-
pears on the screen when an alert an-
nouncement plays. The radio uses inter-
rupt volume during these announcements.
When an alert announcement comes on
the tuned radio station or a related net-
work station, you will hear it even if the
volume is muted or a compact disc is
playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for an alert announce-
ment, it will return to the original station
when the announcement is finished. If the
compact disc player is playing, play will
stop for the announcement and resume
when the announcement is finished.

(e) Traffic announcement
When in FM1 or FM2 mode, quickly push
and release the “TA” button to toggle the
TA icon on and off and change the ra-
dio’s response to traffic announcements.
Push and hold the “TA” button for more
than 2 seconds to cause the tuner to
seek to the next RDS station capable to
broadcasting traffic announcements. If the
tuner stops on a radio station that is an
active traffic program, “TP” will be dis-
played and TA will be set to on. If no
traffic program is found during traffic
seek, TA will still be turned on. If a traffic
interrupt is received and TA is active, the
volume will be increased to the prede-
fined interrupt volume setting for the
duration of the traffic interrupt.
When TA is on and the audio mode is
compact disc or compact disc changer
operation, a traffic interrupt will also
pause playback and change the audio
mode to tuner. The volume will be in-
creased to the predefined interrupt vol-
ume setting for the duration of the traffic
interrupt. Once the traffic interrupt has
ended, the previous audio mode will re-
sume.

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
Compact Disc into the slot.
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, a 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 prob-
lems 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 in-
crease 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 weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again.AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference—When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the
broadcast.
Static—AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
