Antenna
Roof type antenna
If your vehicle has an audio system,
an amplifying antenna is installed in
your vehicle.
This antenna can be removed from
the vehicle when you wash your
vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• 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.
How car audio works
AM(MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers
located around your city. They are inter-
cepted 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.
