Saab 9-5 Audio System 109

Antennas

The audio system has two antennas incor- porated in the rear window: one for FM and one for AM.

The XMTM Satellite Radio antenna 3 is located on the roof of the vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.

•Roof loads can negatively affect telecom- munication, GPS reception and the per- formance of the XMTM system 3.

•If sun film is fitted to the rear window, it must be a pure-plastic variety to maintain good radio reception. Ensure that the film does not contain any metal.

NOTICE

Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna leads.

Multipath propagation

Multipath propagation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by a large building, or the like, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio recep- tion. See also "Diversity antenna".

Diversity antenna 3

To improve radio reception when the topog- raphy is a problem, a second FM antenna, known as a diversity antenna, can be fitted in the rear window. Consult a Saab dealer for further information.
