Entertainment Systems RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts . Allowable frequencies are : AM 530 , 540 – 1600 , 1610 kHz FM 87.7 , 87.9 – 107.7 , 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area . RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS Three factors can affect radio reception : †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 . The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo . AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND SERVICE Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information . If service is necessary , see your dealer or a qualified technician . 57

Once the windshield has been cleared , select any desired position . †To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle , do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF position . †Under normal weather conditions , your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than OFF position when the vehicle is parked . This allows the vehicle to “ breathe � through the outside air inlet duct . †Under snowy or dirty weather conditions , your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is parked . This allows the climate control system to be free from contamination of outside pollutants . †Do not place objects under the front seat which may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats . †Remove any snow , ice , or leaves from the air intake area ( at the base of the windshield and underneath the hood ) . †Do not place objects over the defroster outlets . These objects may block airflow and reduce your visibility through the windshield . Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel . These objects can fall into the defroster outlets and block airflow , in addition to , damaging your climate control system .
