AM/FM select

The AM/FM control works in radio,
CD and navigation modes.

AM/FM select in radio mode

This control allows you to select AM or FM frequency bands. Press the
control to switch between AM, FM1 or FM2 memory preset stations.

AM/FM select in CD mode

Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.

Radio reception factors:
Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.

The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.

Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s

antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger

signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.

AM/FM select in navigation mode

Press once when in navigation mode to return to the audio screen (while
the navigation function continues to work in the background). Press
again to enter AM/FM mode where you are able to make frequency band
adjustments.

CD select

To begin CD play (if a CD is already
loaded), press the CD control. The
first track of the disc will begin
playing. After that, CD play will
begin where it stopped last. Press the CD control again to toggle
between CD, CD DJ, DVD/Video (or DVD/Aux Mode), if equipped with
DVD Rear seat entertainment system.
