The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; 
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause 
satellite reception interru ptions. Satellite signals 
are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings 
and mountains the farther north you travel from 
the equator.
You may experience rece ption problems under 
the following circumstances:
•In a location with an obstruction to the south 
of your vehicle
•In tunnels
•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
•Large items are carried on the roof rack
