programming and commercial-free
music, coast to coast, in digital-quality
sound. In the U.S., see
www.siriusxm.com or call 1-888-601-6296. In Canada, see
www.siriusxm.ca or call

and listening recommendations,
OnStar Connected Access is required.
Connected vehicle services vary by

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.
