Audio remote control
(if equipped)
The steering wheel audio remote control
button is installed to promote safe driv-
ing.
CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,
remove the antenna by rotating it
counter-clockwise. If not, the
antenna may be damaged.
When reinstalling your antenna, it
is important that it is fully tight-
ened to ensure proper reception.
But it could be removed when
parking the vehicle or when load-
ing cargo on the roof rack.

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.
Satellite radio reception
You may experience problems in receiv-
ing XMTMsatellite radio signals in the fol-
lowing situations.
If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov-
ered parking area.
If you are driving beneath the top level
of a multi-level freeway.
If you drive under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vechi-
cle(such as a truck or a bus) that block
the signal.
If you are driving in a valley where the
surrounding hills or peaks block the sig-
nal from the satellite.
JBM005CAUTION
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
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.
