The XM ® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interrupt ions. Satellite signals are
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience reception problems under the
following circumstances:
•In a location with an obstruction to the south of
your vehicle.
•In tunnels•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road•Large items carried on the roof rack
