µ µThe signal is
currently too weak. Move the vehicle
to an area away from tall buildings,
and with an unobstructed view of the
southern horizon.
The selected channel
number does not exist, or is not part
of your subscription, or this channel
has no artist or title inf ormation at
this time.
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 f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be
blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the f arther north you
travel f rom the equator. Carrying
large items on a roof rack can also
block the signal.Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interf erence can be caused by any of
these conditions:
