SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep
luggage and other materials as far away from the antenna as possible.
Antenna obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, \
parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a
weaker one and the audio system may mute.
Station overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interference and the a\
udio system may mute.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions:
Action and description
Message
Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slot
until the sound returns. There is a brief mute while the radio saves the\
station. Sound returns
when the channel saves. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, t\
he sound mutes
before the digital audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the \
digital signal.
Presets
Note: As with any station you save, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the sta\
tion’ s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of\
the reception area, the station
may mute due to weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to the analog broad\
cast until the digital
broadcast is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect\
to the digital signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast \
stations), it first plays the
station in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is\
an HD Radio station, it shifts
to the digital version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when
the station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from a\
nalog to digital sound or
digital back to analog sound.

NAVIGATION
Your navigation system is comprised of two
main features, destination mode and map
mode.
Map Mode
Map mode shows advanced viewing
comprised of 2D city maps, 3D landmarks
and 3D city models (when available). 2D city
maps show detailed outlines of buildings,
visible land use, landscape features, and
detailed railroad infrastructure for the most
essential cities around the globe.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible objects
that are typically recognizable and have a
certain tourism value.
3D city models are complete 3D models of
entire city areas including navigable roads,
parks, rivers and rendered buildings. 3D
landmarks and city models appear in 3D map
mode only. Coverage of these varies and
improves with updated map releases. Select the zoom in icon to see a
closer view of the map.
Select the zoom out icon to see a
farther away view of the map.
You can adjust the view in preset increments.
You can also pinch to zoom in or out of the
map.
The information bar tells you the names of
streets, cities or landmarks as you hover over
them with the crosshair curser.
You can change your view of the map by
tapping on the location indicator icon on the
right hand side of the screen. You can
choose from the following options: Heading up (2D map) This always
shows the direction of forward
travel to be upward on the screen.
This view is available for map
scales up to
3 mi (5 km). North up (2D map)
always shows
the northern direction to be
upward on the screen. 3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
Adjust this viewing angle and
rotate the map 180 degrees by
touching the map twice, and then dragging
your finger along the shaded bar with arrows
at the bottom of the map. Re-center the map by pressing this
icon whenever you scroll the map
away from your vehicle
’s current
location. Points of Interest (POI) grouping

You can choose up to three
POI icons to display on the map. If
the chosen POIs are located close
together or are at the same location a box is
