Saab 9-3 Audio System
107
Multipath interference
Shadow effect
Sources of FM interference
When the radio waves from an FM transmit-
ter collide with a large building, for example,
they will be reflected so that they reach the
car antenna slightly later than the direct
waves. This is referred to as multipath dis-
tortion. The effect is liable to be blamed
upon malfunctions in the radio.
Because FM radio waves travel in straight
lines from the transmitter, a shadow effect
can occur when tall buildings or hills
obstruct the interference path from the
transmitter to the car.
Interference to FM reception can be caused
by the electrical systems in other vehicles,
particularly if the signal from the transmitter
is weak.
To maintain good radio reception do not tint
the rear windshield, particularly with film
containing small metal flakes.
Antenna
The antenna of the Audio System is motor-
ized.
Saab 9-3 Viggen Coupé and 5-door: The
antenna is located on the roof.
NOTE
Remove the antenna if you wash the car
in a car wash, to avoid it being damaged.
For the cleaning of the motorized antenna,
see the section headed "Washing", page
201.
