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.

FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 25 miles (40 km). Once outside this range,
you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.

system to cool the inside of the vehicle before using
the player.

player skip.

” If moisture gets into the CD player, the discs may
not be able to be played. Remove the discs from the
player and wait until it dries.

”
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes or other disc
damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a
section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up
to the light.)

” Remove discs from the players when not in use.
Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat and direct sunlight.
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth that has
been dampened with water. Wipe in a straight line from
the center to the edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it
with another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use a conventional
record cleaner or anti-static device.
