Saab 9-5 Audio System 103 Antennas The Audio System has three antennas incorporated in the rear window; two for FM diversity and one for AM. Multipath propagation Multipath propagation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by, e.g. large buildings, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio reception. To avoid this problem as much as possible the system is equipped with two FM antennas, so called FM diversity. Accessories and other equipment must not be fitted to the surfaces marked as these are where the airbags inflate in the event of a crash NOTICE Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna leads. Do not use sun protective film which contains metal particles on the rear window, this can be the cause of radio interference. The car has a factory-fitted roof antenna for a mobile phone/OnStar. Roof loads may negatively affect telecommunication. WARNING To reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a crash, the headliner and pillar trims incorporate energy absorbing material. These areas must not be modified in any way. Work on these areas must only be carried out by an authorized Saab dealer. IB1743 IB386 IB389
