2008 JEEP COMMANDER radio antenna

If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and
install Mopartcross rails built specifically for this roof
rack system or a number of after market rails that are
tailored to your life-style or activities.
The optional cross rails have five specific locations iden-
tified by a feature on both the side rail and the cross rail.
Cross rails must be secured in one of the five detent
locations on the side rail to prevent movement with a
sudden stop. The cross rails must also be installed using
the correct orientation (the longer rail toward the front)
with the wind trip toward the front of the vehicle as
shown below. For improved windnoise performance
when cross rails are not in use, place them in detent
positions #1 (first detent from the front of the vehicle) and
#4 (second detent from the rear of the vehicle) as indi-
cated with a unique feature on the side rails.The grab
handles (A) on the back of the vehicle (if equipped) are
not to be used as a towing feature.NOTE:If the rear cross rail (or any metallic object) is
placed over the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you
may experience interruption of satellite radio reception.
For improved satellite radio reception, place the rear
cross rail in detent position #4 when not in use.

selected. Press the TUNE control knob and the Sirius ID
number will display. The Sirius ID number display will
time out in 2 minutes. Press any button on the radio to
exit this screen.
Selecting Satellite Mode
Press the SAT button until9SAT9appears in the display. A

mode.
Satellite Antenna
To ensure optimum reception, do not place items on the
roof around the rooftop antenna location or strap items to
the trunk lid around the trunk lid antenna (if equipped).
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:
²The vehicle is parked in an underground parking
structure or under a physical obstacle.
²Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the
form of short audio mutes.
²Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
²Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can
cause signal blockage.
Operating Instructions - Satellite Mode
NOTE:The ignition switch must be in the ON or ACC
position to operate the radio.

The center button on the left side rocker switch has no
function for a single disc CD player. However, when a
multiple disc CD player is equipped on the vehicle, the
center button will select the next available CD in the
player.
CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE
To keep the CD/DVD discs in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the
surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth,
wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners,
or antistatic sprays.5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become
too high.
RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES
Under certain conditions, the cellular phone being On in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from
your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition
is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance
does not satisfactorily ªclearº by the repositioning of the
antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during cellular phone operation.
