ANTENNA If the compact disc ejects and is not removed within 10 seconds, it is pulled back into the slot. Power antenna (if so equipped) The power antenna automatically extends when the radio is turned on, and retracts when the radio is turned off. 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 antenna is fully retracted before the vehicle enters an automated car wash. ● 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 road surfaces and splashed onto the antenna rod. Manual antenna The manual antenna cannot be shortened, but can be removed. When you need to remove the antenna, turn its base counterclockwise. CD (DISC) indicator light This light comes on when a compact disc is loaded into the player. CAUTION ● During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the humidity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player completely. ● The player may skip while driving on rough roads. ● The CD player sometimes cannot function when the compartment temperature is extremely high. Decrease the temperature before use. ● Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight. 4-26 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems
