4485-11. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
5-11.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
●The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/visual system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there
is a problem with the radio it
is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings
and terrain can interfere with FM
reception. Power lines or phone
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the
vehicle moves.
Here are some common recep-
tion problems that may not indi-
cate a problem with the radio as
described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations:
Generally, the effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40 km).
Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for
2 signals to reach the vehicle’s
antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel
each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These
occur when signals are blocked
by buildings, trees or other large
objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there
is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until
the original signal can be picked
up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere especially at night.
These reflected signals can
interfere with those received
directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and
weak.

Audio
Station interference: When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
■SiriusXM*
Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal
objects, may adversely affect
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
Alternation or modifications
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to
operate the equipment.

able in some countries or areas.

Apple product(s) identified in
the badge, and has been cer-
tified by the developer to meet
Apple performance stan-
dards. Apple is not responsi-

■Microphone
It is unnecessary to speak
directly into the microphone
when giving a command.
●Voice commands may not be rec-
ognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the
system may not recognize the
command properly and using
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,
accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is n ecessary to wait
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable the ability to talk
over prompts and say commands
before the beep, enable the voice
prompt interrupt function.

WARNING
●Your audio unit is fitted with
Bluetooth® antennas. People
with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchroniza-
