Tall buildings or hills can interfere w ith FM

FM stereo w ill give the best sound,
but F M s ignals w ill re ach only a pprox.
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).AM reception
The range for most AM stations is g re ater
than for F M, e spe cially at nig ht. The longer
ra ng e can cause sta tion freq uencies to
inte rfe re with each other. For be tter rad io
re ce ption, most AM radio s tations will
boos t the powe r le vels during the day, and
the n reduce these le ve ls d uring the night.
Static can a ls o occur whe n eve nts s uch as
storms interfe re with radio re cep tion. W he n
this happe ns, try red ucing the treble on
your Infotainment sy stem.Hand ling C Ds
