XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception
from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,
and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to
fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under
heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause
loss of the XM signal for a period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with the
vehicle’s radio. This interference may occur when making
or receiving phone calls, charging the phone’s battery,
or simply having the phone on. This interference causes
an increased level of static while listening to the radio.
If static is received while listening to the radio, unplug
the cellular phone and turn it off.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the
vehicle. The antenna is used for the AM/FM radio,
OnStar
® and the XM™ Satellite Radio Service System,
if the vehicle has these features. Keep the antenna
clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle
has a sunroof, the performance of the AM/FM radio,
OnStar
® , and the XM system may be affected if
the sunroof is open.
