Vehicle Positioning - Cadillac SRX Owner's Manual

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle's windows. Glass tinting will interfere
with the system's ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.
If you are experiencing a problem, see Vehicle
Positioning on page 2-40 or Problems with Route
Guidance on page 2-41 for more information.
