XM Not Available: If this message
does not clear within a short period
of time, the receiver could have a
fault. Consult with your dealer.Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). 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.

Infotainment System 7-13
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere
with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
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 can cause 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.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is located
on the roof of the vehicle. This type
of antenna is used with the AM/FM
radio, as well as OnStar
®and the
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
System, if the vehicle has these
features. Keep this antenna clear
of snow and ice build up for clear
radio reception. If the vehicle has
a sunroof, the performance of the
radio system may be affected if the
sunroof is open. Loading items onto
the roof of the vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the radio
system and, if the vehicle has this
feature, OnStar
®. Make sure the
multi-band antenna is not
obstructed.
