AntennaFixed Rod Antenna (if equipped)Your car uses a fixed rod antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals. This antenna is a removable type.
To remove the antenna, turn it counter-
clockwise. To install the antenna, turn it
clockwise.
Glass antenna (if equipped)When the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the ON
or ACC position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals

CAUTION
• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass or quarter glass
with a cleaner or use a scraper to
remove any foreign deposits as
this may cause damage to the
antenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coating
such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can interfere with AM/FM recep-
tion.

CAUTION
Be sure to remove the antenna
before washing the car in an auto-
matic car wash or it may be dam-
aged.
When reinstalling your antenna, it
is important that it is fully tight-
ened to ensure proper reception.
Features of your vehicle90 4 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 stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-
er station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
We recommend that you never use
a cell phone while driving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or property damage.
You must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
