Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as mobile
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.
FM
FM signals only extend 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 occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Rear Side Window Aerial
The AM-FM aerial is located in the
passenger rear side windows. Make
sure the inside surfaces of the rear
side windows are not scratched and
that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surfaces are
damaged, they could interfere with
radio reception.
If a mobile telephone aerial needs to
be attached to the glass, make sure
that the grid lines for the AM-FM
aerial are not damaged. There is
enough space between the grid
lines to attach a mobile telephone
aerial without interfering with radio
reception.
Notice:
Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside of
the rear side windows may affect
radio reception or damage the
rear side window aerial. Repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Do not clear the inside
of the rear side windows with
sharp objects.
Notice:
Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the aerial due to metallic tinting
materials will not be covered by
the warranty.
