turned on while the ignition switch is
in either the "ON" or "ACC" position,
your car will receive both AM and FM
broadcast signals through the anten-
na in the rear window glass.
Shark fin antenna (if equipped)
The shark fin antenna will receive the
transmit data.

CAUTION
Do not clean the inside of the
rear window glass with acleaner or use a scraper toremove foreign deposits asthis may cause damage to theantenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coat- ings such as Ni, Cd, and soon. These can disturb receiv-ing AM and FM broadcast sig-nals.
To prevent damage to the rear glass antenna, never usesharp instruments or windowcleaners containing abrasivesto clean the window. Clean theinside surface of the rearglass window with a piece ofsoft cloth.

How vehicle radio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle may not be
strong and clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.
(Continued)
When putting a sticker on the inside surface of the rear win-dow, be careful not to damageto the rear glass antenna.
Do not put sharp instruments nearby the rear glass antenna.

Station Swapping - As an FM sig-
nal weakens, another more power-
ful signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
OJF045311L
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol that may lead to an acci-
dent, severe bodily injury, or
death. The driver's primary
responsibility is the safe and
legal operation of the vehicle,
and the use of any handheld
devices, other equipment, or
vehicle systems which take the
driver's eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle, or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used during the opera-
tion of the vehicle.
