Ford Escape: Audio System / AM/FM Radio
AM/FM Radio Limitations
The further you travel from an AM or FM
station, the weaker the signal and the
weaker the reception.
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.
When you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the
audio system muting.
