COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE
Antenna
Pull the antenna out to its full length when
using it.
ADVICE
To prevent breaking the antenna, •
shorten it when passing through
areas with low clearance or through
a carwash.
NOTE
[Radio reception]
Compared with AM signals, FM signals are of better quality and compatible •
with stereo broadcasting. However, due to the nature of FM signals, conditions
in which the quality of signals received in a moving vehicle may not be
sustainable.
The directness of FM signal transmission -
As FM signals are more strongly directional than AM signals, they are blocked
easily by large objects such as mountains and buildings and as such their
reception area is much narrower than AM signals.
Sound loss
-
FM signals are reflected easily by objects, so when driving through built-up
areas, the sound may be interrupted or disturbed by noise.
Sound distortion
-
Simultaneous reception of direct signals from the radio station and reflected
signals from buildings may cause flutter or noise disturbance.
