Power Antenna Mast Care (If Equipped)
Your power antenna will look its best and work well if
it’s cleaned from time to time. To clean the antenna
mast:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.
Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or
equivalent solvent.
Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing
any dirt.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Make the antenna
go up and down by turning the
radio or ignition
off and on.
Repeat if necessary.
1 NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage
it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio
off, it may be damaged or
need
to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is damaged, you can
easily replace it. See your dealer
for a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.
Adjustable Mast Antenna
The mast should be fully retracted before entering
any automated wash facility to minimize the risk
of
antenna damage.
If the mast should ever become slightly bent, you can
straighten it
out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, as it
might be by vandals,
you should replace it.
Check every
once in a while to be sure the antenna is
still tightened to the body side panel.
