Infotainment System 7-17XM Theftlocked: The XM receiver
may have previously been in
another vehicle. For security
purposes, XM receivers cannot be
swapped between vehicles. If this
message is received after having
your vehicle serviced, check with
your dealer.
XM Radio ID: If tuned to channel 0,
this message will alternate with the
XM Radio eight digit radio ID label.
This label is needed to activate the
service.
Unknown: If this message is

there may be a receiver fault.
Consult with your dealer.
Check XM Receiver: If this

No Subscription Please Renew:
The XM subscription needs to be

www.xmradio.com or call
1-800-929-2100. 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
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.
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.
