Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations
is greater than for FM, especially
at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. For better
radio reception, most AM radio
stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce
these levels during the night. Static
can also occur when things like
storms and power lines interfere
with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although
the radio has a built-in electronic
circuit that automatically works to
reduce interference, some static
can occur, especially around tall
buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference causes an
increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is
received while listening to the
radio, unplug the cellular phone
and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is located on
the roof of the vehicle.
Driving through an automatic car
wash without removing the antenna
could damage it.
To remove the antenna, turn it
counterclockwise. To replace the
antenna, turn it clockwise until hand
tightened.
