Playing the XM
Radio (Models with navigation system)
®
The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate for this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals
are more likely to be blocked by tall
buildings and mountains the farther
north you travel from the equator.
Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interference can be caused by any of
these conditions:
Driving on the north side of an
●
east/west mountain road.
Driving on the north side of a large
●
commercial truck on an east/west
road.
Driving in tunnels.
●

Signal may be blocked by
mountains or large obstacles to
the south.
SATELLITE
Driving on a road beside a vertical
●
wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south
of you.
Driving on the lower level of a
●
multi-tiered road.

GROUND REPEATER
Driving on a single lane road

alongside dense trees taller than
50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you.
