Radio Reception; Diversity Antenna System; Multi-Band Antenna; Audio Players - Chevrolet 2013 VOLT Owner's Manual

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 reach 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.

Diversity Antenna System

The AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self-tuning system. It optimises the
AM and FM signals relative to the
vehicle's position and radio station
source. No maintenance or
adjustments are needed.

Multi-Band Antenna

The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The aerial is
used for the AM-FM radio and GPS
(Global Positioning System). Keep
the antenna clear of obstructions for
clear reception.

CD Player

The player can be used for CD
and MP3s.
With the ignition on, insert a CD into
the slot, label side up. The player
pulls it in and begins playing.
The vehicle must be in P (Park) for

The system is capable of playing:
Most audio CDs
CD-R
CD-RW
MP3 or unprotected WMA
formats
When playing any compatible
recordable disc, the sound quality
can be reduced due to disc quality,
the method of recording, the quality
of the music or video that has been
recorded, or the way the disc has
been handled.
