AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“ON” position before turning on the radio.
If you listen to the radio with the engine or
the hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with
monaural (single station) FM having
slightly more range than stereo FM. Ex-
ternal influences may sometimes interfere
with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance between the transmitter
and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-
sight path, exhibiting many of the same
characteristics as light. For example they
will reflect off objects.
