Satellite radio reception

You may experience problems in receiv-
ing SIRIUS satellite radio signals in the
following situations.

• If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov-

ered parking area.

• If you are driving beneath the top level

of a multi-level freeway.

• If you drive under a bridge.
• If you are driving next to a tall vehi-

cle(such as a truck or a bus) that block
the signal.

• If you are driving in a valley where the

surrounding hills or peaks block the sig-
nal from the satellite.

• If you are driving on a mountain road

where the signal is blocked by moun-
tains.

• If you are driving in an area with tall

trees that block the signal(10m or
more), for example on a road through a
dense forset.

• The signal can become weak in some

areas that are not covered by the
repeater station network.

please note that these may be other
unforeseen circumstances when there
are problems with the reception of SIR-
IUS satellite radio signal.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio

When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

CAUTION

When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.

WARNING

Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You should stop at
a safe place to use a cellular phone.
