Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the accessory
power outlets if there is interference or
static in the radio.
FM
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.
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. 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.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
If equipped, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
is a universal broadcast system that
indicates stations by the radio program
name on the infotainment display. The DAB
signal produces a constant volume and is
not affected by interference from nearby
frequencies. The reception quality of DAB
improves if the signal is reflected by natural
obstacles or buildings. If the DAB signal is
unclear, reception is interrupted completely.
