FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals only
reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
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 through tunnels could cause loss of
the XM signal for a period of time. The radio may
display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
Fixed Mast Antenna
This type of antenna is called a fixed mast antenna. It is
mounted at the center of the roof, just behind the
windshield.
The mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the mast is
badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the roof. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
If you are putting a protective cover over the vehicle,
remove the mast by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located at the rear
of the vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
If your vehicle has a roof rack, loading items onto
the roof of your vehicle can interfere with the
performance of the XM™ system. Make sure the XM™
Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.
