GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio frequencies:
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors:
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
CD/CD player care
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
•Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner
and wipe from the center out.

transferred in the Hybrid system to either accelerate the vehicle, or
re-charge the battery. The screen also provides you with titles to
describe the mode which is currently active in the Hybrid system. These
screens are informational and do not require any input from you. Note

graphics, the display may not show the actual vehicle status.

•Instantaneous Fuel Economy
(IFE):The IFE is displayed on
the vertical bar on the left of the
screen ranging from 0 mpg up to
MAX, which indicates excellent
fuel economy. Your vehicle must
be moving to calculate
instantaneous fuel economy.
When the vehicle is not moving,
the IFE function will display no
bar on the IFE graph indicating 0
mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this
function will display MAX. IFE cannot be reset.
•Average Fuel Economy (AFE):The AFE is displayed on the white
bar across the graph. The AFE will be retained when the key is turned
OFF, and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing
RESET will reset the AFE to zero.
•One minute average graph:The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the average fuel economy bar will
retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation System has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy Screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/100KM. In Consumption (L/100KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter.
