side this range, you may notice fad-  
Operating information  
ing and drifting, which increase with  
the distance from the radio trans-  
mitter. They are often accompanied  
by distortion.  
The use of a mobile phone inside or  
near the vehicle may cause a noise  
from the speakers of the audio/visual  
system which you are listening to.  
However, this does not indicate a mal-  
function.  
Multi-path: FM signals are reflec-  
tive, making it possible for 2 signals  
to reach the vehicle’s antenna at  
the same time. If this happens, the  
signals will cancel each other out,  
causing a momentary flutter or loss  
of reception.  
NOTICE  
To avoid damage to the  
audio/visual system, be careful not  
to spill beverages over the  
audio/visual system.  
Static and fluttering: These occur  
when signals are blocked by build-  
ings, trees or other large objects.  
Increasing the bass level may  
reduce static and fluttering.  
Radio

Usually, a problem with radio recep-  
tion does not mean there is a prob-  
lem with the radio it is just the  
normal result of conditions outside  
the vehicle.  
Station swapping: If the FM signal  
being listened to is interrupted or  
weakened, and there is another  
strong station nearby on the FM  
band, the radio may tune in the  
second station until the original sig-  
nal can be picked up again.  
For example, nearby buildings and  
terrain can interfere with FM recep-  
tion. Power lines or phone wires  
can interfere with AM signals. And  
of course, radio signals have a lim-  
ited range. The farther the vehicle  
is from a station, the weaker its sig-  
nal will be. In addition, reception  
conditions change constantly as the  
vehicle moves.  
AM  
Fading: AM broadcasts are  
reflected by the upper atmosphere  
especially at night. These  
reflected signals can interfere with  
those received directly from the  
radio station, causing the radio sta-  
tion to sound alternately strong and  
weak.  
Here, some common reception  
problems that probably do not indi-  
cate a problem with the radio are  
described.  
Station interference: When a  
reflected signal and a signal  
received directly from a radio sta-  
tion are very nearly the same fre-  
quency, they can interfere with  
FM  
Fading and drifting stations: Gener-  
ally, the effective range of FM is  
about 40 km (25 miles). Once out-

Static: AM is easily affected by  
external sources of electrical noise,  
such as high tension power lines,  
lightening or electrical motors. This  
results in static.

AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA files in  
folders up to 3 levels deep can

MP3 is an audio compression  
standard determined by a work-
