Satellite radio receptionFeatures of your vehicle / Audio system / Satellite radio reception
You may experience problems in receiving XM™ satellite radio signals in the following situations.
- If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered 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 vehicle (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 signal from the satellite.
- If you are driving on a mountain road where the signal is blocked by mountains.
- If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (30ft./10m or more); for example, on a road through a dense forest.
- The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the XMTM repeater network.
Please note that these may be other unforeseen circumstances when there are problems with the reception of XM™ 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 cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment.
When using a communication system 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 vehicle's electrical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
Do not use a cellular phone while driving. Stop at a safe location to use a cellular phone.
