interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception.
Care must be taken when cleaning the rear window
because it breaks in the resistive material heating
element and will adversely affect radio and defogger
performance. See your dealer for details.
Integrated Windshield Antenna
(Hatchback and Wagon Models)
For the Hatchback and Wagon models, the antenna is
located in the windshield.
The antenna on your vehicle is a very thin metal
layer that outlines near the edges of the windshield.
The connector is at the top of the windshield, where
the headliner ends. For proper radio reception, the
antenna connector at the top of the windshield needs
to be properly attached to the post on the glass.
If difficulty with remote transmitters is experienced,
such as a garage door opener, try pointing the device
through the very top of the windshield.
Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside windshield may damage the antenna.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not clear the inside windshield with sharp
objects.
Make sure the inside surface of the windshield is not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
