Playing the XM Radio (EX-L model with navigation system)

Your vehicle is capable of receiving XM Radio anywhere in the United States and Canada, except Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. XM is a registered trademark of Sirius XM Radio , Inc. and XMCANADA is a registered business name of Canadian Satellite Radio Inc.

XM Radio receives signals from two satellites to produce clear, highquality digital reception. It offers many channels in several categories.

Along with a large selection of different types of music, XM Radio allows you to view channel and category selections in the display.

When you press and hold the AUDIO button, the display also shows all XM information.

Operating the XM Radio

You can also change to the XM Radio while you are listening to an FM station, AM station, disc, PC card, etc., by touching the XM1 or XM2 icon on the audio display.

You can also operate the radio using the control buttons on the left side of the screen. The status bar appears on the bottom of the screen each time you press any of the control buttons.

Each time you touch and release the MODE icon, the display changes between the channel mode and the category mode.

On the audio display, you will see the selected CHANNEL (number), CATEGORY, NAME (artist name), and TITLE (music title).

You may experience periods when XM Radio does not transmit the artist’s name and song title information. If this happens, there is nothing wrong with your system.

2. Use the tune, seek, or scan function to tune to a desired channel.

XM Radio Display Messages

‘‘LOADING’’ - XM is loading the audio or program information.

‘‘OFF AIR’’ - The channel currently selected is no longer broadcasting.

‘‘UPDATING’’ - The encryption code is being updated. Wait until the encryption code is fully updated.

Channels 0 and 1 should still work normally.

‘‘NO SIGNAL’’ - The signal is currently too weak. Move the vehicle to an area away from tall buildings, and with an unobstructed view of the southern horizon.

‘‘ANTENNA’’ - There is a problem with the XM antenna. Please consult your dealer.

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. Carrying large items on a roof rack can also block the signal.

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.

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.

Driving on a single lane road alongside dense trees taller than 50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you.

Large items carried on a roof rack.

There may be other geographic situations that could affect XM Radio reception.

As required by the FCC:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
