14 Infotainment System

Radio Reception

Radio reception is affected by

station signal strength, distance

from radio transmitter, buildings,

bridges, mountains, and other

external influences. Intermittent

changes in reception quality

normally are caused by these

external influences.

FM

FM signals only reach about 40 to

48 km (25 to 30 mi), with monaural

(single channel) FM having slightly

more range than stereo FM.

External influences may sometimes

interfere with FM station reception

even if the FM station is within

40 km (25 mi). The strength of the

FM signal is directly related to the

distance between the transmitter

and receiver.

AM

AM signals, because of their low

frequency, can bend around objects

and skip along the ground. Because

of these characteristics, AM signals

are also subject to interference as

they travel from transmitter to

receiver.

Satellite Radio Reception (If

Equipped)

When the satellite radio is used for

the first time or the battery has been

replaced, the satellite radio may not

work properly. This is not a

malfunction. Wait more than

10 minutes with satellite radio on

and the vehicle outside of any metal

or large building for satellite radio to

receive all of the necessary data.

No satellite radio reception is

available and “NO SAT” is displayed

when the SAT band option is

selected unless an optional satellite

receiver and antenna are installed

and a SiriusXM

®

Satellite Radio

service subscription is active.

Satellite radio performance may be

affected if cargo carried on the roof

blocks the satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo over

the satellite antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite

radio antenna can affect satellite

radio performance. Remove the ice

to restore satellite radio reception.

Cellular Phone Usage

Cellular phone usage can cause

interference with the vehicle's radio.

Fixed Mast Antenna

The fixed mast antenna will go

through most car washes as long as

it is securely attached. If the

antenna becomes slightly bent,

straighten it out by hand. If it is

badly bent, replace it.

Occasionally check that the antenna

is tight at the base. If tightening is

required, protect the paint from

damage.

CD Player

When the CD button on the

faceplate is pressed with the system

off and the disc is loaded, the

system will turn on and the disc

begins playback.

When playing any compatible

recordable disc, the sound quality

has been handled.

There may be increased skipping

and difficulty reading recorded

tracks, finding tracks, and/or loading

and ejecting. If these problems

occur, check the disc for damage or

.

Only use high quality 12 cm

(4.7 in) round discs that have the

“COMPACT disc DIGITAL

AUDIO” logo on the disc or

packaging.

.

During cold weather or

rainy days, the player may

malfunction due to the humidity.

If this occurs, remove the CD

and dehumidify or ventilate the

player completely.

.

Do not expose the CD to direct

sunlight.

.

CDs that are in poor condition or

are dirty, scratched, or covered

properly.

Do not use the following CDs as

they may not work properly:

.

Copy control CD (CCCD).

Rewritable CD (CD-RW).

Do not use the following CDs as

they may cause the CD player to

malfunction:

8 cm (3.1 in) discs with an

adapter.

CDs that are not round.

.

CDs with a paper label.

.

CDs that are warped, scratched,

or have abnormal edges.

This audio system can only play

pre-recorded CDs. It has no

capability to record or burn CDs.

If the CD cannot be played, one of

the following messages will display.

wipe the disc using a circular

motion.

.

Do not use a conventional

record cleaner or alcohol

intended for industrial use.

.

A new disc may be rough on the

inner and outer edges. Remove

the rough edges by rubbing the

inner and outer edges with the

side of a pen or pencil.

CD/MP3 Display Mode

While listening to a CD or an MP3/

MP3: This is short for Moving

Pictures Experts Group Audio

Layer 3. MP3 is the most

well-known compressed digital

audio file format. This format

allows for near “CD quality”

sound, but at a fraction of the

size of normal audio files. MP3

conversion of an audio track

from CD-ROM can reduce the

file size by approximately a 10:1

ratio with little loss in quality.

MP3 compression removes the

redundant and irrelevant parts of

a sound signal that the human

ear does not hear.

.

WMA: Windows Media Audio

(WMA) is a compressed audio

format created by Microsoft as

an alternative to MP3. The WMA

codec offers greater file

compression than the MP3

codec, enabling storage of more

digital audio tracks in the same

amount of space when

compared to MP3s at the same

level of quality.

.

Bit Rate: Bit rate denotes the

number of bits per second used

by a digital music file. The size

and quality of a compressed

digital audio file is determined by

the bit rate used when encoding

the file.

.

Sampling Frequency: This is the

rate at which the samples of a

signal are converted from analog

to digital (A/D conversion) per

second.

.

Multisession: Multisession is one

of the methods for writing data to

media. Writing data once to the

media is called a single session,

and writing more than once is

called a multisession.

.

ID3/WMA Tag: The ID3/WMA tag

is the part of the encoded MP3

or WMA file that contains

information about the digital

music file such as song title,

artist, encoding bit rate, track

time duration, etc. ID3 tag

information is displayed on the

artist/song title line on the

display.
