Manual antenna (if equipped)
Your car uses a manual stainless
steel antenna to receive both AM
and FM broadcast signals. Pull up
the antenna using your fingers, as
shown in the drawing.
✽✽NOTICE
Before entering an automatic car
wash or a place with a low height
clearance, be sure that the antenna
is fully retracted.
Power antenna (if equipped) The antenna will automatically be
extended when the radio power
switch is turned “ON” while the igni-
tion key is either in the “ON” or “ACC”
position. The antenna will automati-
cally be retracted and stored when
either the radio power switch is
turned “OFF” or the ignition key is set
to the “LOCK” position.

How car audio works
AM(MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers
located around your city. They are
intercepted by the radio antenna on
your car. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or
the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area. AM(MW, LW) broadcasts can be
received at greater distances than
FM broadcasts. This is because
AM(MW, LW) radio waves are trans-
mitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth
rather than travelling straight out into
the atmosphere. In addition, they
curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal cover-
age.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade at short distances from
the station. Also, FM signals are eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The
following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:

• Fading - As your car moves awayfrom the radio station, the signal
will weaken and sound will begin to
fade. When this occurs, we sug-
gest that you select anotherstronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerfulsignal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,select another station with astronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from sever-
al directions can cause distortion
or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals
from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the conditionhas 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 doesnot mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a
place as far as possible from theaudio equipment.
¢¢¢
JBM004JBM005CAUTION
When using a communicationsystem such a cellular phone ora radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna mustbe fitted. When a cellular phoneor a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it mayinterfere with the vehicle's elec-trical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehi-cle.
WARNING
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving, You must stop
at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
