receiver (optional part) and to enter into
a contract with a satellite radio network
service such as “XM
TMsatellite radio ”(for
U.S.A. only) or “Sirius satellite radio ”. For
details, please contact your SUBARU
dealer. ! Sirius satellite radio
Sirius satellite radio is a recent innovation
that allows the listener to experience
digital sound quality and to have a greater
variety of channels.
Use of satellite radio (Sirius) requires a
tuner, antenna and a service contract. For
details, please contact your SUBARU
dealer or visit Sirius Satellite Radio at
www.sirius.com or call 1-888-539-SIRIUS

! XM
TMsatellite radio (for U.S.A. only)
XMTMis a continental U.S. based satellite
radio service, including music, news,
sports, talk and children ’s programming.
XM
TMprovides digital quality audio and
text information, including song title and

TMservice. For more
information, contact XMTMatwww.xmradio.com or call 1-800-
XMRADIO (1-800-967-2346). ! Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff or
hill, or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. ! Displaying satellite radio ID of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID ready because each tuner is identified by
its unique satellite radio tuner ID.
The satellite radio ID will be needed when
you activate satellite radio and receive
satellite radio customer support.
