Introduction to Satellite radio
i
A subscription to SIRIUS satellite radio ser-
vice provider is required for the satellite radio op-
eration described in this chapter. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for details
and availability for your vehicle.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio provides 100 chan-
nels, so called streams, of digital-quality
radio, among others music, sports, news,
and entertainment free of commercials.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio uses a fleet of
high-power satellites to broadcast
24 hours per day, coast-to-coast, in the
contiguous US.
This diverse, satellite-delivered program-
ming is available for a monthly subscrip-
tion fee.

ity call the SIRIUS Service Center

Satellite radio service may be unavailable or
interrupted from time to time for a variety of rea-
sons, such as environmental or topographic con-
ditions and other things we can't control. Service
might also not be available in certain places
(e.g., in tunnels, parking garages, or within or
next to buildings) or near other technologies. In
such situations, the satellite radio's main menu
shows the "Acquiring signal..." screen. At this
point, the radio's functions are restricted to
manual channel number entry ( page 104) and
service info display ( page 106).
