NOTE  
Operating Tips for Audio  
System  
When leaving your vehicle unattended, we  
recommend that you remove the antenna and  
store it inside the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Do not adjust the audio control  
switches while driving the vehicle:  
Adjusting the audio while driving the  
vehicle is dangerous as it could  
distract your attention from the  
vehicle operation which could lead to  
a serious accident. Always adjust the  
audio while the vehicle is stopped.  
Even if the audio control switches are  
equipped on the steering wheel, learn  
to use the switches without looking  
down at them so that you can keep  
your maximum attention on the road  
while driving the vehicle.  
CAUTION  
For the purposes of safe driving,  
adjust the audio volume to a level  
that allows you to hear sounds  
outside of the vehicle including car  
horns and particularly emergency  
vehicle sirens.  
NOTE  
l
To prevent the battery from being  
discharged, do not leave the audio system  
on for a long period of time when the  
engine is not running.  
l
If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in  
or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to  
occur from the audio system, however, this  
does not indicate that the system has been  
damaged.

Interior Comfort  
Audio System  
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar  
to beams of light because they do not  
bend around corners, but they do reflect.  
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot  
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM  
stations cannot be received at the great  
distances possible with AM reception.  
qRadio Reception  
AM characteristics  
AM signals bend around such things as  
buildings or mountains and bounce off the  
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach  
longer distances than FM signals. Because  
of this, two stations may sometimes be  
picked up on the same frequency at the  
same time.  
Ionosphere  
FM wave  
AM wave  
Ionosphere  
FM wave  
100—200 km (60—120 miles)  
Atmospheric conditions can also affect  
FM reception. High humidity will cause  
poor reception. However, cloudy days  
may provide better reception than clear  
days.  
Station 1  
Station 2  
FM characteristics  
An FM broadcast range is usually about  
40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the  
source. Because of extra coding needed to  
break the sound into two channels, stereo  
FM has even less range than monaural  
(non-stereo) FM.  
Multipath noise  
Since FM signals can be reflected by  
obstructions, it is possible to receive both  
the direct signal and the reflected signal at  
the same time. This causes a slight delay  
in reception and may be heard as a broken  
sound or a distortion. This problem may  
also be encountered when in close  
FM Station  
proximity to the transmitter.

Interior Comfort  
Audio System  
Flutter/Skip noise  
Strong signal noise  
Signals from an FM transmitter move in  
straight lines and become weak in valleys  
between tall buildings, mountains, and  
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes  
through such an area, the reception  
conditions may change suddenly, resulting  
in annoying noise.  
This occurs very close to a transmitter  
tower. The broadcast signals are  
extremely strong, so the result is noise and  
sound breakup at the radio receiver.  
Station drift noise  
When a vehicle reaches the area of two  
strong stations broadcasting at similar  
frequencies, the original station may be  
temporarily lost and the second station  
picked up. At this time there will be some  
noise from this disturbance.  
Weak signal noise  
In suburban areas, broadcast signals  
become weak because of distance from  
the transmitter. Reception in such fringe  
areas is characterized by sound breakup.

The CD revolves at high speed within  
the unit. Defective (cracked or badly  
bent) CDs should never be used.  
qOperating Tips for CD Player/In-  
Dash CD Changer  
Condensation phenomenon  
Immediately after turning on the heater  
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or  
optical components (prism and lens) in the  
CD player/In-dash CD changer may  
become clouded with condensation. At  
this time, the CD will eject immediately  
when placed in the unit. A clouded CD  
can be corrected simply by wiping it with  
a soft cloth. Clouded optical components  
will clear naturally in about an hour. Wait  
for normal operation to return before  
attempting to use the unit.  
l
Do not use non-conventional discs  
such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs,  
etc. The disc may not eject resulting in  
a malfunction.  
Handling the CD player/In-dash CD  
changer  
The following precautions should be  
observed.  
l
Do not spill any liquid on the audio  
system.  
l
If the memory portion of the CD is  
transparent or translucent, do not use  
the disc.  
l
Do not insert any objects, other than  
CDs, into the slot.

A new CD may have rough edges on  
its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc  
with rough edges is used, proper  
setting will not be possible and the CD  
player/In-dash CD changer will not  
play the CD. In addition, the disc may  
not eject resulting in a malfunction.  
Remove the rough edges in advance by  
using a ball-point pen or pencil as  
shown below. To remove the rough  
edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil  
against the inner and outer perimeter of  
the CD.  
Use discs that have been legitimately  
produced. If illegally-copied discs such  
as pirated discs are used, the system  
may not operate properly.  
l
Be sure never to touch the signal  
surface when handling the CDs. Pick  
up a CD by grasping the outer edge or  
the edge of the hole and the outer edge.  
l
When driving over uneven surfaces,  
the sound may jump.  
l
Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.  
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the  
side without a label). The disc may not  
eject resulting in a malfunction.  
l
Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can  
decrease the amount of light reflected  
from the signal surface, thus affecting  
sound quality. If the CD should

soft cloth from the center of the CD to  
the edge.  
l
Do not use record sprays, antistatic  
agents, or household spray cleaners.  
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and  
thinner can also damage the surface of  
the CD and must not be used. Anything  
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic  
should never be used to clean CDs.

MP3 file, the more information regarding  
musical reproduction it carries, and  
therefore the better the sound quality.
