Radio Reception
Radio reception can be affected by environment, atmospheric conditions, or radio signal’s power and distance from the station.
Nearby mountains and buildings may interfere or deflect radio reception, causing poor reception. Poor reception or radio static can also be caused by electric current from overhead wires or high voltage power lines.

SX4 SEDAN
The radio antenna wire is printed inside the rear window.
CAUTION:
• Do not attach any metal objects to
the rear window glass, or place

conditions may cause poor reception
or noise.
• When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not to scratch or damage the rear window antenna. Wipe the rear window lightly along the antenna with a dampened soft cloth.
