Features of your vehicle
broadcasts generally begin to fade
within short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, and obstructions.
This can lead to undesirable or unpleas -
ant listening conditions which might lead
you to believe a problem exists with your
radio.
The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:
僅 Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another station with a stronger
signal.

僅 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans -
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble
level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
僅 Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig -
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.

僅 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig -
nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or flut -
tering. This can be caused by a direct
and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two sta -
tions with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the
condition has passed.
Using a cellular mobile or two-
way radio
When a rmobile phone is used, noise
may be produced from the audio sys -
tem. This does not mean that something
is wrong with the audio equipment. Try
to operate mobile phones as far from
the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication system
such as a mobile phone or a two-way
radio set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be attached.
When a phone or a radio set is used with
only the internal antenna, it may inter -
fere with the vehicle's electrical system
and adversely affect the safe operation
of the vehicle.
