Tone Settings
From the tone settings menu, the
sound features can be set up for
SiriusXM audio and each audio
player’s functions.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as mobile
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.
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 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
SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is located on
the roof of the vehicle.
Driving through an automatic car
wash without removing the antenna
could damage it.
To remove the antenna, turn it
counterclockwise. To replace the
antenna, turn it clockwise until hand
tightened.
Multi-Band Antenna
If equipped, the multi-band antenna
is on the roof of the vehicle. The
antenna is used for the AM-FM
radio, OnStar, the SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service System, and GPS
(Global Positioning System), if the
vehicle has these features. Keep
the antenna clear of obstructions for
clear reception.
