stereo reception and this limits the effective range of the sender.
We hope that this information proves to be useful and provides you with a better understanding of the
problems related to car radio reception.
Reception conditions are not always optimum and this is, of course, beyond our control.
However, we have endeavored to make the Volvo Audio System of a quality that will enable you to
enjoy the best possible reception no matter what the reception conditions may be.
Radio antennas
NOTE: Always lower the antenna when using an automatic car wash or entering a garage.
The antenna should be cleaned at least every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or more frequently if needed.
Use WD40* for cleaning.
Spray the antenna with WD40 and wipe it clean and dry with a rag. Spray it again. Lower and raise the
antenna. Wipe it clean and dry again. Lower and raise the antenna 4-6 times.
Make sure it is dry and free from dirt or lubricating oil.
* Avoid spraying WD 40 on any painted surfaces as this could cause damage to the paint.
Diversity antenna (dual antenna system)
Certain models are equipped with the optional Diversity dual antenna system. Two antennas are
connected to the radio through two separate sockets, allowing for better reception and reducing the
effects of static or multipath distortion of FM reception.
