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 be other geographic
situations that could affect XM radio

Driving on the north side of an
east/west mountain road.
If your XM Satellite Radio service
has expired or you purchased your
vehicle from a previous owner, you

broadcasts available on XM Satellite
Radio. With the ignition switch in the
ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position,
push the power/volume knob to turn
on the audio system and press the
XM button. A variety of music types

Satellite Radio mode while you wait
for activation. This should take about
30 minutes.

sure your vehicle remains in an open
area with good reception. Once your
audio system is activated, you should
be able to listen to XM radio
broadcasts. XM Radio will continue
to send an activation signal to your
vehicle for at least 12 hours from the
activation request. If the service has
not been activated after 36 hours,
contact XM Radio.
