Metal objects placed within the line of sight of the
antenna will cause decreased performance. Larger lug-
gage items such as bikes should be placed as far rearward
as possible, within the loading design of the rack. Do not
place items directly on or above the antenna.
Reception Quality
Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons.
•The vehicle is parked in an underground parking
structure or under a physical obstacle.
•Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the
form of short audio mutes.
•Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
•Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can
cause signal blockage.

OFF This position turns off the blower motor and outside
air will not pass through any outlets.
Recirculate (Max A/C) Air flows through the outlets located in the
instrument panel. Allows for circulation of
interior air only which will cool the cabin
faster. This setting can be used in very hot
weather to maximize the effect of the air conditioner. This
mode can also be used to temporarily block out outside
odors, smoke, and dust. Slight airflow from the floor
outlets and the defrost outlets, located at the base of the
windshield, may be noticed.
Panel Air flows through the outlets located in the instru-
ment panel. Slight airflow from the defrost outlet,
located at the base of the windshield, may be noticed. Bi-Level
Air flows through the outlets located in the instru-
ment panel, on the floor, and in the rear of the center
console. Slight airflow from the defrost outlet, located at
the base of the windshield, may be noticed.
Floor Air flows through the floor outlets located under
the instrument panel and through the outlets lo-
cated in the rear of the center console. Slight airflow from
the defrost outlet, located at the base of the windshield,
may be noticed. The air conditioning system has been
enabled in Floor mode to provide less humid air, espe-
cially when heat is used. This will help you reduce or
prevent window fogging in high humidity conditions.
This function cannot be disabled. You may still select the
desired amount of heat using the temperature control
dial. The heated air will simply be drier and less prone to
condensing on cold window surfaces.
