Subaru Forester: Antenna system
Roof antenna

- Be sure to lower the antenna rod before entering garages, parking towers and other locations with low ceilings.
- Remove the antenna rod before washing your car at a car wash. If the antenna rod is left attached, it may scratch the roof.
- When reinstalling the removed antenna rod, be sure to fully tighten it.

1) Unscrew
2) Remove
The roof antenna is installed in the center at the rear part of the roof.
It is possible to remove the antenna rod by unscrewing it from its base.
FM reception
Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surrounding area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and transmitter distance. Buildings or other obstructions may cause momentary static, flutter or station interference.
If reception continues to be unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station.
Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing a citizen band radio or other transmitting device in your vehicle.
Such devices may cause the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or if they are not suited for the vehicle.
