RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION RADIO BROADCAST SIGNALS Your radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals: 1. AM or Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmit- ted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary. 2. FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 253 FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: The radio, steering wheel radio controls (if equipped), and six-disc CD/DVD changer (if equipped) will remain active for up to 90 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, depending upon the EVIC, Accessory Delay setting. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature. Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. 254 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL SALES CODE REQ — AM/FM STEREO RADIO AND 6–DISC CD/DVD CHANGER (MP3/WMA AUX JACK) NOTE: The radio sales code is located on the lower right side of your radio faceplate.
