The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals
aremorelikelytobeblockedbytall
buildings and mountains the f arther
north you travel f rom the equator.
Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interf erence 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 single lane road
alongside dense trees taller than
50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you. Driving on the lower level of a
multi-tiered road. Driving on a road beside a vertical
wall, steep clif f , or hill to the south
of you.When DPLII is turned on (see page
), sound coming f rom the rear
speakers may be distorted due to the
compression of the music being
broadcast. Turn DPLII of f if this
