1. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATION
The portable player will be automatically
connected under the following conditions:
• The engine switch is in either the “ACC”
or “ON” position.
• When “Bluetooth* Power” is switched
from off to on.
• When the portable player is discon-
nected for some reason.
CAUTION
● This equipment complies with IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled environment and meets
RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules. This equipment has
very low levels of RF energy that it
deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE).
But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 20
cm and more between the radiator and
person’s body (excluding extremities:
hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Cet équipement se conforme aux limites
d’exposition aux radiations établies par
Industrie Canada pour un
environnement non contrôlé ainsi qu’aux
directives d’exposition aux fréquences
radioélectriques (RF) émises par
Industrie Canada dans la norme
CNR-102. Cet équipement émet un
niveau d’énergie RF faible à un point tel
qu’il se conforme sans devoir effectuer
d’évaluation d’exposition maximum
admissible (MPE). Lorsque l’équipement
est utilisé, il est toutefois souhaitable de
laisser au moins 20 cm entre l’antenne
et le corps (à l’exception des
extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et
chevilles).
● Co-location: This transmitter must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Co-implantation: cet émetteur ne doit
pas être co-implanté ou actionné en
même temps qu’aucune autre antenne
ou émetteur.
CONNECTING A Bluetooth®
AUDIO PLAYER
To use the Bluetooth® audio system, it
is necessary to register a portable
player with the system. Once the porta-
ble player has been registered, it is
possible to listen to the music.
Once the portable player has been reg-
istered, it is possible to listen to music
through the navigation system. (See
“REGISTERING A Bluetooth
® DE-
VICE” on page 157.)
INFORMATION
● For operating the portable player, see
the instruction manual that comes with
it.

13. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two 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 fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another st
rong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static. Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier,
especially metal objects, may adversely
affect the reception of XM Satellite Radio.
Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may
invalidate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.
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 reception
does not mean there is a problem with
the radio — it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can inter-
fere with AM signals. And of course, ra-
dio signals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.
