NOTE . HD Radio Technology is a hybrid
broadcasting system that employs di-
gital and analog signals. . When the vehicle moves outside the
digital broadcasting area (that is nar-
rower than the analog broadcasting
area due to the FCC output require-
ments), the radio reception automati-
cally changes from the digital signal to
the analog signal. When the vehicle
reenters the digital broadcasting area
again, the radio reception automatically
changes from the analog signal to the
digital signal. When in a digital modethe
Logo will be in orange on the
radio display. . Depending on the broadcasting sta-
tion, a condition such as a sound delay,
echo effect or skipping sound may
occur. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.. Depending on the broadcasting
area, the digital signal may not be received in an area where the analog
signal can be properly received, or the
system frequently switches the chan-
nels between the digital and analog
signals. However, this does not indi-
cate a malfunction. If this frequent
switching between digital and analog
causes annoyance, set the radio to the
analog mode (HD Radio off mode) that
provides the same radio broadcasting
quality as a conventional radio.

gram Service Name) and RT

tion with RBDS (Radio Broadcast DataSystem).

signals can be blocked by objects such as
buildings, but the network of repeater
stations allows signal coverage within
urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving XM
TMsatellite radio signals in the follow-
ing situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal
area
Because the satellite radio antenna is
located on the windshield, the signal
comes from the south and may not be
able to reach the antenna in some
circumstances when you are driving north.
. If you are driving in a tunnel or a
covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level
of a multi-level freeway .
If you drive under a bridge
. If you are driving next to a tall vehicle
(such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the
surrounding hills or peaks block the signal
from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road
where the southern direction is blocked by mountains
. If you are driving in an area with tall
trees that block the signal (10 m or more),
for example on a road that goes through a
dense forest . The signal can become weak in some
areas that are not covered by the repeater
station network.
Please note that these may be other unforeseen circumstances when there
are problems with the reception of XM
TM
satellite radio signals. NOTE
The channel guide is not yet updated if
the update is done while receiving the XM
TMsatellite radio signal. To complete
the update, turn the ignition switch tothe “LOCK ”position and then to the
“ ACC ”or “ON ”position.
& Displaying satellite radio ID
of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID
ready because each tuner is identified by
its unique satellite radio tuner ID.
The satellite radio ID will be needed when
you activate satellite radio and receive
satellite radio customer support.
The satellite radio ID can be found on the
audio display by tuning the channel to “0 ”.
Turn the “TUNE/TRACK/CH ”dial to select
the satellite radio channel.
NOTE
For Sirius, change the display to an
indication mode other than the channel
number after performing the aboveoperation. Audio
