Radio Reception

Unplug electronic devices from the accessory power outlets if there is interference or static in the radio.

FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can also occur when things like storms and power

Infotainment System 23

lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.

SiriusXM® Satellite Radio Service

SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service provides digital radio reception. Tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time.

Cell Phone Usage

Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or just having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens.

Backglass Antenna

The AM-FM antenna is integrated

with the rear window defogger in the

rear window. Do not scratch the

inside surface or damage the lines

in the glass. If the inside surface is

damaged, it could interfere with

radio reception. For proper radio

reception, the antenna connector

needs to be properly attached to the

post on the glass.

If attaching a cell phone antenna to

the glass, attach it between the grid

lines.

Notice: Using a razor blade or

sharp object to clear the inside

rear window can damage the rear

window antenna and/or the rear

window defogger. Repairs would

not be covered by the vehicle

warranty. Do not clear the inside

rear window with sharp objects.

Notice: Do not apply aftermarket

glass tinting with metallic film.

The metallic film in some tinting

materials will interfere with or

distort the incoming radio

reception. Any damage caused to the backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Multi-Band Antenna

The roof antenna is for OnStar, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, and GPS (Global Positioning System). Keep clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.
