Radio Reception

AM

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise.

FM

FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.

Care of Your CDs

Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. If the surface of a CD is soiled,
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.

Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling CDs. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges
or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Care of Your CD Player

The use of CD lens cleaners for CD players is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the
CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.

Diversity Antenna System

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

XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System

The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
or on the trunk lid of your vehicle. Keep this antenna
clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
