6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
1. OPERATING INFORMATION
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
INFORMATION
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio/visual
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
RADIO
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.
