TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
OPERATING INFORMATION
CAUTION
OTo 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.
‡ Do not insert anything other than an SD card into the SD
card slot.
NOTE
OThe 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 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 terrain can interfere
with FM reception. Power lines or phone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range. The farther the vehicle is from a station, the weaker
its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with the radio are described.
