center of the windshield that
automatically controls the system.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain

low-beam changer must be
activated two times within
two seconds to reactivate the
Intellibeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the Intellibeam
system is reactivated. See
Headlamp High/Low-Beam

missing, damaged, obstructed
from view, or otherwise
undetected.
. The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.

Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the
accessory power outlets if there is
interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with

each other. Static can also occur
when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception.
When this happens, try reducing the
treble on the radio.
SiriusXM®Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service provides digital radio
reception. Tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the
radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off
if this happens.
Antenna
The AM/FM antenna is integrated in
the liftgate spoiler and the liftgate
window defogger. No maintenance
or adjustments are needed. Do not
place loads on the spoiler. If the
spoiler is replaced, be sure it is
replaced with the correct GM parts
for the best AM and FM reception.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for OnStar®,
SiriusXM®Satellite Radio (If
Equipped), and GPS (Global
Positioning System). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception.
