156 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
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.
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.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used for
radio, navigation, and OnStar,
depending on the equipped options.
Keep clear of obstructions for clearreception. If the vehicle has a sunroof,
and it is open, reception can also be
affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such as SD
cards, USB devices, and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect system
operation or performance. Avoid use if
the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
The vehicle may be equipped with two
USB ports in the center console under
the armrest. These ports are for data
and charging. There may also be two
USB ports at the rear of the center
console and a USB port on each side
of the third row seats for
charging only.
