AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Operat-
ing the audio system for extended
periods of time with the engine turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to mal-
function.
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 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
(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, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example, they will reflect off objects.

INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially cellular phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel. Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signal is
approximately one billionth of that of TV
waves, phones and transceivers will affect
or may totally disrupt the signal.
Incorrect display of vehicle position
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal
if the driving conditions return to normal.
* When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an area
with a grid pattern road system.
*When the vehicle is passing through a
large Y-shaped intersection/junction.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
When a cellular phone is operated to make
a call, the hands-free function becomes
unavailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch
to the hands-free mode when they are operated
to make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make another call using the
hands-free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard.
There is no ringtone. The volume level is set to the minimum. Adjust the volume level.
“Volume and Beeps settings” (page 2-32)
A cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the cellular phone again.
Each volume level (ringtone, incoming voice
or outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display and remaining battery
level are different between the touch
screen display and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable
even though the antenna display shows
that it is possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the
model of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna
display and remaining battery level shown on the
touch screen display may be different from those
shown on the cellular phone screen. Use them as a
reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using
a cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or
completely shut out radio waves that are used
for cellular phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads,
high voltage electric power cables, traffic
signals, neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular
phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the
audio system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skips or stutters. The cellular phone may have turned on the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).
