INFORMATION
The radio automatically changes to

reduces the amount of channel sepa-
ration to prevent the weak signal from
creating noise. If the signal becomes
extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception.

WHEN RECEIVING FMRDS (RADIO DATA
SYSTEM)
Depending on the availability of
RDS infrastructure, the service may
not function properly.
AF (ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCY) FUNCTION
A station providing good reception is
automatically selected if current re-
ception worsens.
TA (TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT)
FUNCTION
The tuner will automatically seek a
station that regularly broadcasts traf-
fic information and the station broad-
casts when the traffic information
program starts.
“TP” will appear on the screen.
INFORMATION
When TA is set to “On”, the radio will
begin seeking a TP station. If the
radio seeks out a TP station, the pro-
gram name will appear on the screen.
If a TA (Traffic Announcement) sta-
tion is received, the radio will be
switched to the traffic information
program automatically. When the pro-
gram ends, the initial operation
resumes. Also, when in AF mode, the
radio will seek a TP station by using
the AF list.
EON (Enhanced Other Network) sys-
tem: If the RDS station (with EON
data) currently being listened to is not
broadcasting a traffic information
program in TA (Traffic Announce-
ment) mode, the radio will be
switched to the traffic information
program automatically by using the
EON AF list. After the traffic infor-

7. Bluetooth® AUDIO OPERATION
Bluetooth is a trademark owned by
Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
The Bluetooth® audio system en-
ables users to enjoy listening to mu-
sic that is played on a portable player
on the vehicle speakers via wireless
communication.
This audio system supports
Bluetooth
®, a wireless data system
capable of playing portable audio
music without cables. If your porta-
ble player does not support
Bluetooth
®, the Bluetooth® audio
system will not function.
CAUTION
Do not operate the player’s controls
or connect to the Bluetooth® audio
system while driving.
An antenna for the Bluetooth® con-
nection is built in the instrument
panel. People with implanted pace-
makers or cardiac defibrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance
between themselves and the
Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices.
Before using portable players, users
of any electrical medical device other
than implanted pacemakers and
implanted cardiac defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its
operation under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your portable player in
the vehicle. In particular, high tem-
peratures inside the vehicle may dam-
age the portable player.

9. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
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 accompa-
nied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’s antenna at the same time.
If this happens, the signals will cancel
each other out, causing a momentary
flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees
or other large objects. Increasing the
bass level may reduce static and flutter-
ing.
Station swapping: If the FM signal be-
ing listened to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until the orig-
inal signal can be picked up again.
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system
operations:
• Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
• The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/video system which you are
listening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with the radio — it is just the normal
result of conditions outside the vehi-
cle.
For example, nearby buildings and
terrain can interfere with FM recep-
tion. Power lines or telephone wires
can interfere with AM signals. And
of course, radio signals have a limit-
ed range. The farther the vehicle is
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the vehi-
cle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.
