6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM

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 2 signals to reach the vehi-
cle’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 sig-
nals 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 lis-
tened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the sec-
ond 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 sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound al-
ternately 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 oth-
er, making it difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.

2. SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls to
be made and received without having to
take your hands off the steering wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth
®.
Bluetooth® is a wireless data system
that enables cellular phones to be used
without being connected by a cable or
placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the tele-
phone is explained here.
WA R N I N G
●Use a cellular phone or connect the
Bluetooth® phone only when safe and
legal to do so.
●Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should main-
tain a reasonable distance between
themselves and the Bluetooth
® antennas.
The radio waves may affect the operation
of such devices.
●Before using Bluetooth® devices, users
of any electrical medical device other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the manufac-
turer 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.
