Explicit Content Filter
When on, only a filtered list ofchannels will be received. When off,all regular SXM programmingsubscribed to will be received.
1. Touch SXM Explicit Filter.
2. Select On or Off.
Radio Reception
Frequency interference and staticcan occur during normal radioreception if items such as phonechargers, vehicle convenienceaccessories, and external electronicdevices are plugged into theaccessory power outlet. If there isinterference or static, unplug theitem from the accessory poweroutlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although theradio has a built-in electronic circuitthat automatically works to reduceinterference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings orhills, causing the sound to fade inand out.
AM
The range for most AM stations isgreater than for FM, especially atnight. The longer range can causestation frequencies to interfere witheach other. Static can also occurwhen things like storms and powerlines interfere with radio reception.When this happens, try reducing thetreble on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM SatelliteRadio Service provides digital radioreception. Tall buildings or hills caninterfere with satellite radio signals,causing the sound to fade in andout. In addition, traveling or standingunder heavy foliage, bridges,garages, or tunnels may cause lossof the SiriusXM signal for a periodof time.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage, such as makingor receiving phone calls, charging,or just having the phone on maycause static interference in theradio. Unplug the phone or turn it offif this happens.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna will gothrough most car washes as long asit is securely attached. If theantenna becomes slightly bent,straighten it out by hand. If it isbadly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check that the antennais tight at the base. If tightening isrequired, protect the paint fromdamage.
