AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
WARNING
.The driver must not attempt to oper-
ate the audio system while the vehicle
is in motion, so that full attention may
be given to the vehicle operation.
. Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before oper-
ating the audio system and playing
movies (if so equipped).
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the engine or the hybrid system is
running. Operating the audio system
for extended periods of time with the
engine or the hybrid system turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery
(12V battery).
. Do not allow these systems to get
wet. Excessive moisture such as
spilled liquids may cause the system
to malfunction.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system. Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
3-2
