Satellite Radio Signals
Satellite radio receives signals from
two satellites to produce clear, high-
quality digital reception. It offers
many channels in several categories.
Along with a large selection of
different types of music, satellite
radio also allows you to view channel
and category selections in the audio
display.
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.
●
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.
There may also be other geographic
situations or structures that could
affect satellite radio reception.
