Radio Reception

AM characteristics

AM signals bend around such things as 
buildings or mountains and bounce off the 
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach 
longer distances than FM signals. Because 
of this, two stations may sometimes be 
picked up on the same frequency at the 
same time.

FM characteristics

An FM broadcast range is usually about 
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the 
source. Because of extra coding needed to 
break the sound into two channels, stereo 
FM has even less range than monaural 
(non-stereo) FM.

Antenna

To prevent damage to the antenna, 
remove it before entering a car wash 
facility or passing beneath a low 
overhead clearance.

NOTE

When leaving your vehicle unattended, 
we recommend that you remove the 
antenna and store it inside the vehicle.
