Radio Reception - FM: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Select Stations Within Range: The best FM fidelity will be obtained from stations within a 16-64 km (10-40 mile) range. Noise or distortion may become apparent when attempting to receive stations at distances greater than this range.

Suggestion: Reduce treble response when attempting to receive fringe stations.

Tall Structures: Tall buildings or hills may cause degrading or loss of signal. FM stations tend to travel "line of sight." Buildings or hills can interrupt the FM signal.

Suggestion: Reduce treble response.

Interference from another station: Although receiver circuits are among the most advanced type available, there are instances where a radio station can be interfered with by another station.

Suggestion: Select another station or switch to a cassette or CD.
