Diversity Antenna System (If Equipped) - Buick 2001 Regal Owner's Manual

On cars equipped with the rear window defogger and
-
built in antenna, the defogger grid serves as a radio
antenna. Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to the
back glass. The metallic film in some tinting materials
will interfere with or distort the incoming radio
reception. Care must be taken when cleaning the rear
window because breaks in the resistive material heating
element will adversely affect radio performance and
defogger performance. See your dealer for details.

Diversity Antenna System (If Equipped)

-
Your AM FM antennas are located in the front
windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the front windshield and rear window 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. Also, for proper radio
reception, the antenna connector at the top
front windshield and the antenna connector at the
-
top center of the rear window need to be properly
attached to the posts on the glass.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the
grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
-
center of the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
antenna over the grid lines.
