Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear
window defogger, located in the rear window.
Make sure that the inside surface of the rear
window 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.
Also, for proper radio reception, the antenna
connector at the top-center of the rear window
needs to be properly attached to the post on the
glass.
Notice: Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic film. The metallic film in some
tinting materials will interfere with or distort the
incoming radio reception. Any damage
caused to your backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not be covered
by your warranty.
Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window may damage
the rear window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not clear the
inside rear window with sharp objects.
Because this antenna is built into the rear window,
there is a reduced risk of damage caused by
car washes and vandals.
If static is heard on the radio, when the rear
window defogger is turned on, it could mean that
a defogger grid line has been damaged and
the grid line must be repaired.
If adding a cellular telephone to your vehicle, and
the antenna needs to be attached to the glass,
make sure that you do not damage the grid lines
for the AM-FM antenna. There is enough space
between the lines to attach a cellular telephone
antenna without interfering with radio reception.
