& Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
rad io providers have installed ground-
based repeater s in hea vily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas.

satellite radio reception tips
for antenna on the windshield (for
U.S.A. only if equipped)
For some models, the satellite radio
antenna is fixed to the upper right hand
corner of the windshield.
The XM
TM
satellite radio receiver that is
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 si gnals are then relayed
throughout the radio reception area by a
network of ground repeater stations. The
satellite radio signals are transmitted as
line of sight signals. The line of sight
signals can be blocked by objects such as
buil dings, but the network of repeater
stations all ows signal coverage within
urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving
XM
TM
satellite radio signals in the follow-
ing situations.
. If you are driving northward in a coastal
area
Because the satellite radio antenna is
located on the windshield, the signal
comes from the south and may not be
able to reach the antenna in some
circumstances when you are driving north.
. If you are driving in a tunnel or a
covered parking area
. If you are driving beneath the top level
of a multi-level freeway
