The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas.
Satellite signals are more likely to be
blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the f arther north you
travel f rom the equator. Carrying
large items on a roof rack can also
block the signal.

Compass operation can be affected
by driving near power lines or
stations, across bridges, through
tunnels, over railroad crossings, past
large vehicles, or driving near large
objects that can cause a magnetic
disturbance. It can also be affected
by accessories such as antennas and
roof racks that are mounted by
magnets.
In most areas, there is a variation
between magnetic north and true
north. Zone selection is required so
the compass can compensate for this
varia tion. To check and select the
zone, do this:
Press and hold the and
buttons simultaneously until
the temperature display changes

cycle the count up. Once the
correct zone is displayed, continue
to step 4.
Press the OFF button to save the
zone selection.
To exit the zone setting mode,
either press the button and
button simultaneously f or
about 5 seconds, or press any
