Traffic Announcement
Enable this option so that the
navigation system can provide
verbal announcements for a traffic
situation on the planned route.
To receive traffic event data,
the radio must be tuned to an
RDS FM station that has traffic
announcement broadcast capability.
If a CD or DVD is playing, this
feature automatically changes the
audio source.
1. Press CONFIG to display the
Setup menu.
2. Press the Radio screen button to
display the radio screen,
or press CONFIG repeatedly to
select one of the menus located
at the top of the screen.
3. Press the TP (Traffic
Announcement Priority) screen
button to enable the traffic
announcement feature. If the
radio detects a signal that a
traffic announcement will be
broadcast and a CD or DVD is
playing, the audio source
automatically switches to the
current station.

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 extend 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.
Infotainment System
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.

Rear Side Window Aerial

The AM-FM aerial is located in the
passenger rear side windows. Make
sure the inside surfaces of the rear
side windows 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.
