Radio Reception Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and
external electronic devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static,
unplug the item from the accessory power outlet. 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. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power
levels during the day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. 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.
FM Stereo FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles
(16 to 65 km). 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.
XM ™ Satellite Radio Service XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception
from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,
and in Canada. Just as with FM, 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 XM signal for a period
of time.

Traffic Options Read the following Options descriptions to understand
how the XM NavTraffic ™ operates.
XM NavTraffic ™ (USA and Canada)Vehicles with the navigation system have an XM
NavTraffic ™ receiver. XM NavTraffic ™ is a subscription
service provided via XM ™ Satellite Radio. XM
NavTraffic ™ provides real-time traffic information fully
integrated to the navigation system to display current
traffic conditions for a driver ’ s chosen route. XM
NavTraffic ™ allows drivers to make the most informed,
timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if an
attempt is made to turn on the traffic display in the
Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription, a
Caution screen displays indicating that XM traffic is not
activated. Three types of traffic information for major roadways are
displayed on the navigation system: .
Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as
accidents and disabled vehicles .
Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures .
Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the
XM ™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic ™ makes it
possible for the navigation system to provide
continuously updated traffic information personalized for
a driver ’ s needs.

Global Positioning System (GPS) The navigation system determines the position of the
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellite
condition, road configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with
the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle
using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears
on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 5 ‑ 17 .
This system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true: .
Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel. .
Objects are located on the front dash of the
vehicle. .
Satellites are being repaired or improved. .
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle's windshield. Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle's windows. Glass tinting interferes with
the system's ability to receive GPS signals and
causes the system to malfunction. The window
might have to be replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the warranty.
For more information if the GPS is not functioning
properly, see If the System Needs Service
on
page 5 ‑ 59
and Problems with Route Guidance on
page 5 ‑ 58 .
Vehicle Positioning At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may be
inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons: .
Road system has changed. .
Vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as
in sand, gravel, and/or snow. .
Vehicle is traveling on winding roads. .
Vehicle is on a long straight road. .
Vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large
vehicle. .
Surface streets run parallel to a freeway. .
Vehicle has just been transferred by a vehicle
carrier or a ferry. .
Current position calibration is set incorrectly.
