Antenna system

Printed antenna

Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface of
the window on which the antenna is
printed. Doing so may damage the
antenna printed on the window.
The antenna is printed on the inner sur-
face of the rear window glass.
NOTE
Antenna performance will deteriorate
significantly if you apply tinting film or
any other material over the antenna
Audio
portion of the rear window glass.

FM reception

Although FM is normally static free, recep-
tion can be affected by the surrounding ar-
ea, atmospheric
strength and transmitter distance. Build-
ings or other obstructions may cause mo-
mentary static, flutter or station interfer-
ence. If reception continues to be unsatis-
factory, switch to a stronger station.
NOTE
If a cell phone is placed near the radio,
it may cause the radio to emit noise
when it receives calls. This noise does
not indicate a radio fault.

DIO (1-800-967-2346).
The XM
fitted to your vehicle receives the neces-
sary signals from two specially designated
satellites that are in a geostationary orbit
over the equator. One satellite covers the
east coast and the other covers the west
coast. Both of them direct their signals
north. These signals are then relayed
throughout the USA by a network of
ground repeater stations. The satellite ra-
dio signals are transmitted as "line of
sight" signals. Line of sight signals can be
blocked by objects such as buildings, but
the network of repeater stations allows
signal coverage within urban areas such
as cities.
