Radio antenna (sedans)
NOTE:Always lower the antenna when using an automatic car wash or entering a garage.
The antenna should be cleaned at least every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or more frequently if needed.
Use WD40 for cleaning.
Spray the antenna with WD40 and wipe it clean and dry with a rag. Spray it again. Lower and raise the
antenna. Wipe it clean and dry again. Lower and raise the antenna 4-6 times. Make sure it is dry and free
from dirt or lubricating oil.
Radio antenna (wagons)
The radio antennas (2) are built into both side windows of the cargo area. These antennas also have
factory installed antenna boosters.
NOTE: The antenna will not work without this booster.
Place objects in the cargo area so that the antenna wires on the inside of the window will not be
damaged. When cleaning the window be careful that the wires are not scratched by rings, etc. If they are
damaged, radio reception will be impaired.
Diversity antenna (dual antenna system)
Certain models are equipped with the optional Diversity dual antenna system Two antennas are
connected to the radio through tow separate sockets, allowing for better reception and reducing the
effects of static or multipath distortion of FM reception.
