The XM® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals
are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience reception 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 carried on the roof rack
