To access the ESN/SID, refer to the following steps:

ESN/SID Access

With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN or ACC posi-
tion and the radio on, press the SETUP button and scroll
using the TUNE/SCROLL control knob until Sirius ID is
selected. Press the TUNE/SCROLL control knob and the
Sirius ID number will display. The Sirius ID number
display will time out in two minutes. Press any button on
the radio to exit this screen.

Selecting Uconnect® (Satellite) Mode

Press the SAT button until

ЉSATЉ appears in the display. A

CD may remain in the radio while in the Satellite radio
mode.

Satellite Antenna

To ensure optimum reception, do not place items on the
roof around the rooftop antenna location. Metal objects
placed within the line of sight of the antenna will cause

decreased performance. Larger luggage items such as
bikes should be placed as far rearward as possible, within
the loading design of the rack. Do not place items directly
on or above the antenna.

Reception Quality

Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons:

• The vehicle is parked in an underground parking

structure or under a physical obstacle.

• Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the

form of short audio mutes.

• Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can

cause intermittent reception.

• Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can

cause signal blockage.
