FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but
FM signals reach only about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Tall buildings or
hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in
and out.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the radio. This
interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the cell
phone and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The antenna is
used for AM and FM radio stations.
Tall buildings, hills, trees, heavy
foliage, tunnels, bridges, and
garages will affect reception. Keep
the antenna clear of obstructions for
clear reception. Make sure there is
sufficient clearance when entering
garages or parking structures.
