CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be
inserted into the CD player as
the label may peel and cause the
CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade
CDs be identified with
permanent felt tip marker rather
than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Audio system warranty and service

service is necessary, see your authorized dealer.
Satellite radio information (if equipped)
Satellite radio channels:Satellite radio frequencies are established by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). SIRIUS Satellite Radio
broadcasts within a frequency range of 2320.0 MHz-2332.5 MHz. This
frequency range is sub-divided into over 120 channels of music, news,
sports, weather and traffic programming. For a complete set of SIRIUS
Satellite Radio channels, visit www.sirius.com or call SIRIUS at
1–888–539–7474. For a quick reference of the SIRIUS Satellite Radio
channel guide, refer to theSirius Welcome Kit.
Satellite radio reception factors:To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
•Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
