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.
Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interf erence can be caused by any of
these conditions:Driving on the north side of an
east/west mountain road.
Driving on the north side of a
large commercial truck on an
east/west road.
Driving in tunnels. Driving on a road beside a vertical
wall, steep clif f , or hill to the south
of you.
Driving on the lower level of a
multi-tiered road.
Driving on a single lane road
alongside dense trees taller than
50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you.
Large items carried on a roof rack.

The compass may need to be
manually calibrated af ter exposure to
a strong magnetic field. If the
compassseemstobecontinually
showing the wrong direction and is
not self -calibrating, or the compass
display is blinking with the CAL
indicator on, do the f ollowing.
Compass operation can be af f ected
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 af f ected
by accessories such as antennas and
roof racks that are mounted by
magnets.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the compass is
self-calibrating, then the compass
display is shown in the display.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position.Do this procedure in an open
area, away f rom buildings, power
lines, and other vehicles.
Press and hold the MENU button
f or about 5 seconds. The display
shows you the compass setting
menu items.

Here are some guidelines f or using
voice control:
TheHFLisoperatedbytheHFL
Talk and Back buttons on the left
side of the steering wheel. The next
f ew pages provide instructions f or all
basic f eatures of the HFL. Adjust the airflow from both the
dashboard and side vents so they
do not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.After pressing the Talk button,
wait f or the beep, then give a voice
command.
Give a voice command in a clear
natural speaking voice without
pausing between words or
numbers. If the system cannot
recognize your command because
of the background noise, speak
louder.
If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may
not interpret your voice
commands correctly.
If the HFL does not recognize a
command, its response is, ‘‘Pardon.’’
If it doesn’t recognize the
command a second time, its
response is, ‘‘Please repeat.’’ If it
doesn’t recognize the command a
third time, it plays the Help
prompt.
Close the windows and the
moonroof .
To enter a command, press and
release the Talk button. Then,
af ter the beep, say your command
in a clear, natural tone.
Lower the A/C f an speed during
voice recognition operation.

The f ollowing f actors can lower your
vehicle’s f uel economy:
A properly maintained vehicle
maximizes f uel economy. Poor
maintenance can signif icantly reduce
f uel economy. Always maintain your
vehicle according to the maintenance
messages displayed on the multi-
inf ormation display (see
on page ).
For example: Rapid
acceleration, abrupt cornering,
and hard braking increase fuel
consumption.
Aerodynamic drag has a big ef f ect
on f uel mileage at speeds above 45
mph (75 km/h). Reduce your
speed and you reduce the drag.
Trailers, car top carriers, roof
racks and bike racks are also big
contributors to increased drag.
If your vehicle has a
manual transmission, you can
boost your f uel economy by up
shif ting as early as possible.
Idling
results in 0 miles per gallon.
In
particular, a build-up of snow or
mud on your vehicle’s underside
adds weight and rolling resistance.
Frequent cleaning helps your f uel
economy. It puts a heavier
load on the engine, increasing f uel
consumption. An under inf lated tire increases
‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which reduces
f uel economy.
