Your vehicle may have a
compass in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight
upon leaving the factory. Your
dealer/retailer will set the correct
zone for your location.
Under certain circumstances,
such as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to a new
state or province, it will be necessary
to compensate for compass variance
by resetting the zone through the
DIC if the zone is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference
between the earth’s magnetic north
and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone where
you live, the compass may give false
readings. The compass must be set
to the variance zone in which the
vehicle is traveling.

FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference,
some static can occur, especially
around tall buildings or hills, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service
gives digital radio reception from
coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, tall buildings or
hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade
in and out. In addition, traveling
or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle’s radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone’s battery, or
simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the
cellular phone and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can
withstand most car washes without
being damaged as long as it is
securely attached to the base.
If the mast becomes slightly bent,
straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check to make sure
the antenna is tightened to its base.
If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio
Antenna System
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is
located on the roof of the vehicle.
Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear radio reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the
performance of the XM system may
be affected if the sunroof is open.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio may be used to adjust the
vehicle’s chime level. If the radio can
be used to change the volume level
of the chime, press and hold the sixth
FAV softkey with the ignition on and
the radio power off. The volume level
changes between Normal and Loud.
The selected volume level appears
on the radio display.
Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or
chime module will disable vehicle
chimes.
