14 Radio
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. It is
possible that a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS can provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.
Satellite Radio
If equipped, vehicles with a valid
SiriusXM satellite radio subscription
can receive SXM programming.
SiriusXM satellite radio has a wide
variety of programming and
commercial-free music, coast to
coast, in digital-quality sound. In the
U.S. see www.siriusxm.com or call1-888-601-6296. In Canada see
www.siriusxm.ca or call
1-877-438-9677.
When SXM is active, the channel
name, number, song title, and artist
appear on the display.
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 powerlines 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. Some cellular services may
interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as
making or receiving calls, charging,
or just having the mobile device on
may cause static interference in the
radio. Unplug the mobile device or
turn it off if this happens.
