Antenna system & Roof antenna
The shark-fin type roof antenna is installed
in the center at the rear of the roof. & FM reception Although FM is normally static free,
reception can be affected by the surround-
ing area, atmospheric conditions, station
strength and transmitter distance. Build-
ings or other obstructions may cause
momentary static, flutter or station inter-
ference. If reception continues to be
unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station.5-2
