How vehicle radio works
FM reception
OJF045308LOJF045308L
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received 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
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 stations
or the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.
AM (MW, LW) reception
OJF045309LOJF045309L
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.

FM radio station
OJF045310LOJF045310L
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 at
short distances from the station. Also, FM
signals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening
conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your radio.
The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble :
JBM004JBM004
• 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 disturb
the signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble
level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.

• Station Swapping As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
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 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 twoway
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, use
the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
NOTICE
When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate 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 vehicle’s electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to use a
cellular phone.
