addition, traveling or standing under
heavy foliage, bridges, garages,
or tunnels may cause loss of the
SiriusXM signal for a period of time.

Cell Phone Usage

Cell phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the
radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off
if this happens.

Fixed Mast Antenna

The fixed mast antenna can
withstand most car washes without
being damaged as long as it is
securely attached to the base. If the
mast becomes slightly bent,
straighten it out by hand. If the mast
is badly bent, replace it.

Occasionally check to make sure
the antenna is tightened to its base.
If tightening is required, tighten by
hand until fully seated plus
one quarter turn.

Backglass Antenna

The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger in the
rear window. Do not scratch the
inside surface or damage the lines
in the glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.

If attaching a cell phone antenna to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.

Notice: Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.

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
the backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.

Diversity Antenna System

For vehicles with convertible tops,
the AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self-tuning system, and is in the rear
spoiler. It optimizes the AM and FM
signals relative to the vehicle's
position and radio station source.
No maintenance or adjustments are
needed. Do not place loads on the
spoiler. If the spoiler is replaced, be
sure it is replaced with the correct
GM parts for the best AM and FM
reception.

Satellite Radio Antenna

For vehicles with XM Satellite Radio
Service, the antenna is on the
decklid of the vehicle. Keep the
antenna clear of obstructions for
clear radio reception.
