How Vehicle Audio Works
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.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle 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.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.

FM reception

FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble : Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears. 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
signals being received from sever-
al 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 fre-
quencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition
has passed.

Using a mobile phone or a two-
way radio
When a mobile 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 possi-
ble.

Multimedia System
Do not use a mobile phone
whilst driving. Stop in a safe
location to use a mobile phone.
WARNING
When using a communication
system such as a mobile phone
or a radio set inside the vehicle,
a separate external antenna
must be fitted. When a mobile
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.
CAUTION

Do not stare at the screen
whilst driving. Staring at the
screen for prolonged periods
of time could lead to traffic
accidents.
Do not disassemble, assem-
ble, or modify the audio sys-
tem. Such acts could result in
accidents, fire, or electric
shock.
Using a phone whilst driving
may lead to a lack of attention
of traffic conditions and
increase the likelihood of
accidents. Use the phone fea-
ture after parking the vehicle.
Heed caution not to spill water
or introduce foreign objects
into the device. Such acts
could lead to smoke, fire, or
product malfunction.
WARNING
Operating the device whilst
driving could lead to accidents
due to a lack of attention to
external surroundings. First
park the vehicle before operat-
ing the device.
Adjust the volume to levels
that allow the driver to hear
sounds outside of the vehicle.
Driving when external sounds
cannot be heard may lead to
accidents.
Pay attention to the volume
setting when turning the
device on. A sudden output of
extreme volume upon turning
the device on could lead to
hearing impairment. Adjust
the volume to a suitable level
before turning off the device.
CAUTIONDo not place beverages close
to the audio system. Spilling
beverages may lead to system
malfunction.
In case of product malfunc-
tion, please contact your
place of purchase or After
Service centre.
Placing the audio system
within an electromagnetic
environment may result in
noise interference.
Prevent caustic solutions
such as perfume and cosmet-
ic oil from contacting the
instrument panel because
they may cause damage or
discolouration.

Do not operate the system
whilst driving. Driving whilst
distracted may result in a loss
of vehicle control, potentially
leading to an accident, severe
personal injury, or death. The
driver’s primary responsibility
is the safe and legal operation
of a vehicle, and any handheld
devices, equipment, or vehicle
systems which divert the dri-
ver’s attention from this
responsibility should never
be used during operation of
the vehicle.
WARNING
- About driving
Avoid watching the screen
whilst driving. Driving whilst
distracted may lead to a traffic
accident. Stop your vehicle in
a safe location before using
functions that require multiple
operations.
Stop your vehicle first before
using your mobile phone.
Using a mobile phone whilst
driving may lead to a traffic
accident. If necessary, use the
Bluetooth Handsfree feature
to make calls and keep the
call as short as possible.
Keep the volume low enough
to hear external sounds.
Driving without the ability to
hear external sounds may
lead to a traffic accident.
Listening to a loud volume for
a long time may cause hear-
ing damage.
Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Doing so may
result in an accident, fire, or
electric shock.
Do not allow liquids or foreign
substances to enter the sys-
tem. Liquids or foreign sub-
stances may cause noxious
fumes, a fire, or a system mal-
function.
Stop using the system if it
malfunctions, such as no
audio output or display. If you
continue using the system
when it is malfunctioning, it
may lead to a fire, electric
shock, or system failure.
Do not touch the antenna dur-
ing thunder or lightning
because such an act may
cause electric shock.
