NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio/video
system operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a cas-
sette tape or magazine into the cas-
sette tape slot or DVD player.
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, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio − it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power lines
or telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a
limited range, and the farther you are from a
station, the weaker its signal will be. In addi-
tion, reception conditions change constantly
as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
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 increase
with the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi path − FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your
antenna at the same time. If this happens,
the signals will cancel each other out, caus-
ing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
