Electrical Disturbances
FM Reception
Radio waves may pick up electrical distu rbances during
transm ission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thu s rem ain a part of the AM recep tion. They
interfere very little with the frequ ency variations that
carry the FM signal.
Because FM transm ission is based on frequ ency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the recep tion relatively clear,
which is the major featu re of FM rad io.
NOTE: On vehicles so equ ipped the rad io, steering
wheel rad io controls and 6 disc CD/ DVD changer if 4
equ ipped, will rem ain active for up to 45 second s after
the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening a
vehicle front door will cancel this featu re.
AM Reception
AM sou nd is based on wave amplitude, so AM recep tion
can be disru pted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
