ANTENNA Manual antenna The manual antenna on your vehicle remains in the up position at all times. The antenna cannot be shortened, but can be removed. When you need to remove the antenna, turn its base counterclockwise. ● Dirt and other foreign matter on the power antenna rod may interrupt its operation. Clean the rod periodically with a damp cloth. This type of cleaning is especially important during the winter seasons in areas where road salt and other chemicals may be spread on the road surfaces and splashed onto the antenna rod. Power antenna (if so equipped) The power antenna automatically extends when the radio is turned on, and retracts when turned off or when a tape or CD is played. If the radio is left on, the antenna retracts and extends with the ignition key OFF-ON operation. CAUTION ● Before turning the radio on, make sure that there is no one near the antenna outlet and there is enough space for it to extend. ● To prevent damage, be sure that the power antenna is fully retracted before the vehicle enters an automated car wash. 3-20
