Features of your vehicle
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. If this occurs, try
using the cellular phone as far away
as possible from the audio equip-
ment. When using a communication
system 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.

other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver's

film) might cause communication
errors or poor radio reception, and a
malfunctioning automatic lighting

also leak into the electronic compo-
nents, causing malfunctions or dam-
age.
