FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves
away from a station transmitter, thesignals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect and reflected signals reach the
receiver at the same time. The signals
may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere and bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics. AM signals are
also subject to interference as they travel
from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is pas-
sing through freeway underpasses or in
areas with many tall buildings. It can also
occur for several seconds during iono-
spheric turbulence even in areas where
no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electri- cal power lines, electric signs and even
traffic lights.
Satellite radio reception (if so
equipped):
When the satellite radio is used for the
first time or the battery has been re-
placed, the satellite radio may not work
properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait
more than 10 minutes with the satellite
radio ON and the vehicle away from any
metal or large buildings for the satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an
active SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscrip-
tion. The satellite radio is not available in
Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
