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
