XMTM Satellite radio recep- tion (if equipped)
XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite
radio service that offers more than 160
coast to coast channels, including music,
news, sports, talk and children’s program-
ming. XMTM provides digital quality audio
and text information, including song title
and artist name. A service fee is required
to receive the XMTM service. For more
information, contact XMTM at
www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-
RADIO (1-800-967-2346).
The XMTM satellite radio receiver that is
fitted to your vehicle receives the neces-
sary signals from two specially designated
satellites that are in a geostationary orbit
over the equator. One satellite covers the
east coast and the other covers the west
coast. Both of

north. These signals are then relayed
throughout
the USA by a network of
ground repeater stations. The satellite
radio signals are transmitted as “line of
sight” signals. Line of sight 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

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 XMTM satellite radio signals.
