Audio System
Your vehicle is capable of receiving XM Satellite Radio anywhere in the United States, except Hawaii and Alaska. XM is a registered trade mark of XM Satellite Radio, Inc.
XM Satellite Radio receives signals from two satellites to produce clear, high-quality digital reception. It offers many channels in several categories. Along with a large selection of different types of music, XM Satellite Radio also allows you to view channel and category selections in the audio display.
To listen to XM satellite radio, turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position. Push the power/volume knob to turn on the audio system, and press the
button. The last channel you
listened to will show in the display. Adjust the volume by turning the power/volume knob.

In the category mode, such as Jazz, Rock, Classical, etc., you can navigate through all of the channels within that category. In the channel mode, you can select all of the available channels.
You may experience periods when XM Satellite Radio does not transmit the artist’s name and or the song title information. If this happens, there is nothing wrong with your system.
Push the AUDIO button to display XM information on the screen.
To change categories, press the CATEGORY button, or push the interface selector left or right.

SATELLITE
Audio System
The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause satellite reception interruptions. To help compensate for this, ground-based repeaters are placed in major metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains the farther north you travel from the equator.

Depending on where you drive, you may experience reception problems. Interference can be caused by any of these conditions:
Driving on the north side of an east/west mountain road. Driving on the north side of a large commercial truck on an east/west road. Driving in tunnels. Driving on a road beside a vertical wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south of you. Driving on the lower level of a multi-tiered road. Driving on a single lane road alongside dense trees taller than 50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you.
There may be other geographic situations that could affect satellite radio reception.

General Information
When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.
When recording a CD-R or CD-RW, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the disc changer.
Play only standard, round, 5-inch (12 cm) discs. Smaller or odd- shaped discs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.
Handle your discs properly to prevent damage and skipping.
Protecting Discs When a disc is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep discs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the center to the outside edge.
A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the disc, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in the disc changer.
Protecting Your Discs
Handle a disc by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the disc. These, along with contamination from finger prints, liquids, and felt- tip pens, can cause the disc to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

Your vehicle’s audio system may disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code with the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from the five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a radio code card that lists your audio system’s code and serial numbers. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your dealer. To do this, you will need the audio system’s serial number.

If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have 10 tries to enter the correct code.
If the code card is lost, your dealer can access your code with your radio’s serial number. To access the serial number, turn the radio on. It must display ‘‘ ’’, then turn the radio off. Push and hold the preset 1 and preset 6 buttons, then

The calendar feature is not selectable (buttons grayed out).
Setup values (like volume, brightness, etc.) can be changed but are not remembered the next time you restart the vehicle.

Keyless Memory Settings The vehicle ‘‘senses’’ the driver number, based on which keyless remote is used to unlock the vehicle. If two drivers with remotes approach the vehicle at the same time, the welcome display and related settings are based on which remote the vehicle sensed first ‘‘senses.’’
If both remotes come within
NOTE: range simultaneously, the ‘‘Welcome’’ display may be unpredictable.
The compass system uses the driver number (as recognized by the multi- information display) to personalize the compass system. For example, if Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the ‘‘Driver 1’’ personal address book and other navigation settings are automatically loaded when the vehicle is started. There is no way to change from one driver’s settings to another while driving.
