KIA Picanto (2018 year). Manual — part 13

• Fadinþ - As your vehicle moves away

ýrom the radio station, the siþnal will

weaken and sound will beþin to ýade.

When this occurs, we suþþest that

you select another stronþer station.

• Flutter/Static - Weak FM siþnals or

larþe obstructions between the

transmitter and your radio can dis‐

turb the siþnal causinþ static or ýlut‐

terinþ noises to occur. Reducinþ the

treble level may lessen this eýýect un‐

til the disturbance clears.

• Station Swappinþ - As a FM siþnal

weakens, another more powerýul siþ‐

nal near the same ýrequency may be‐

þin to play. This is because your radio

is desiþned to lock onto the clearest

siþnal. Iý this occurs, select another

station with a stronþer siþnal.

• Multi-çath Cancellation - Radio siþ‐

nals beinþ received ýrom several di‐

rections can cause distortion or ýlut‐

terinþ. This can be caused by a direct

and reýlected siþnal ýrom the same

station, or by siþnals ýrom two sta‐

tions with close ýrequencies. Iý this

occurs, select another station until

the condition has passed.

Usinþ a cellular phone or a two-

way radio

When a cellular phone is used inside the

vehicle, noise may be produced ýrom

the audio system. This does not mean

that somethinþ is wronþ with the audio

equipment. In such a case, use the cel‐

lular phone at a place as ýar as possible

ýrom the audio equipment.

CAUTION

When usinþ a communication sys‐

tem such as a cellular phone or a ra‐

dio set inside the vehicle, a separate

external antenna must be ýitted.

When a cellular phone or a radio set

is used with an internal antenna

alone, it may interýere with the vehi‐

cle's electrical system and adversely

aýýect saýe operation oý the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not use a cellular phone while

drivinþ. Stop at a saýe location to use

a cellular phone.
