AM reception  
How vehicle radio works  
FM reception  
OGL3061070L  
AM broadcasts can be received at  
greater distances than FM broadcasts.  
This is because AM radio waves are  
transmitted at low frequencies. These  
long distance, low frequency radio  
waves can follow the curvature of the  
earth rather than traveling straight. In  
addition, they curve around obstructions  
resulting in better signal coverage.  
4
OGL3061067L  
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast  
from transmitter towers located around  
your city. They are intercepted by the  
radio antenna on your vehicle. This sig  
nal is then processed by the radio and  
sent to your vehicle speakers.  
-
FM radio station  
However, in some cases the signal com  
ing to your vehicle may not be strong  
and clear.  
-
This can be due to factors, such as the  
distance from the radio station, close  
-
ness of other strong radio stations or the  
presence of buildings, bridges or other  
large obstructions in the area.  
OGL3061069L  
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high  
frequencies and do not bend to follow  
the earth's surface. Because of this, FM  
broadcasts generally begin to fade  
within short distances from the station.  
Also, FM signals are easily affected by  
buildings, mountains, and obstructions.

This can lead to undesirable or unpleas  
-
ant listening conditions which might lead  
you to believe a problem exists with your  
radio.  
The following conditions are normal and  
do not indicate radio trouble:  
僅 Fading - As your vehicle moves away  
from the radio station, the signal will  
weaken and sound will begin to fade.  
When this occurs, we suggest that you  
select another station with a stronger  
signal.

僅 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig  
nals being received from several  
directions can cause distortion or flut

tering. This can be caused by a direct  
and reflected signal from the same  
station, or by signals from two sta  
-
tions with close frequencies. If this  
occurs, select another station until the  
condition has passed.  
Using a cellular phone or a two-  
way radio  
OGL3061071L  
僅 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or  
large obstructions between the trans  
When a cellular phone is used inside the  
vehicle, noise may be produced from the  
audio system. This does not mean that  
something is wrong with the audio  
equipment. In such a case, try to operate  
mobile devices as far from the audio  
equipment as possible.  
-
mitter and your radio can disturb the  
signal causing static or fluttering  
noises to occur. Reducing the treble  
level may lessen this effect until the  
disturbance clears.  
僅 Station Swapping - As an FM signal  
When using a communication system  
such as a cellular phone or a radio set  
inside the vehicle, a separate external  
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular  
phone or a radio set is used with only the  
internal antenna, it may interfere with  
the vehicle's electrical system and  
adversely affect the safe operation of  
the vehicle.  
weakens, another more powerful sig  
nal near the same frequency may  
begin to play. This is because your  
radio is designed to lock onto the  
clearest signal. If this occurs, select  
another station with a stronger signal.
