Satellite radio operation (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver (optional equipment) and to enter
into a contract. For details, please contact
your SUBARU dealer. &Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio
(U.S.A. only)
Sirius XM
TMis a continental U.S. based
satellite radio service, including music,
news, sports, talk and children ’s program-
ming. Sirius XM
TMprovides digital quality
audio and text information, including song
title and artist name. A service fee is
required to receive the Sirius XM
TM
service. For more information, contact
Sirius XMTMatwww.siriusxm.com.
& 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, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multi- tiered road or inside of 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. !
Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio reception
tips for antenna on the windshield
(for U.S.A. only —if equipped)
For some models, the satellite radio
antenna is fixed to the upper right hand
corner of the windshield.
The Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio receiver
that is fitted to your vehicle receives the
necessary signals from two specially
designated satellites that are in a geosta-
tionary orbit over the equator. One satellite
covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of them direct their
signals north. These signals are then
relayed throughout the radio reception
area by a network of ground repeater
stations. The satellite radio signals are
transmitted as
“line of sight ”signals. The
line of sight signals can be blocked by
objects such as buildings, but the network
of repeater stations allows signal cover-
age within urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving
Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio signals in the
following situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal
area
Because the satellite radio antenna is
located on the windshield, the signal
comes from the south and may not be
able to reach the antenna in some
circumstances when you are driving north.

.If you are driving in a tunnel or a
covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level
of a multi-level freeway. If you drive under a bridge
. If you are driving next to a tall vehicle
(such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the
surrounding hills or peaks block the signal
from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road
where the southern direction is blocked by mountains. If you are driving in an area with tall
trees that block the signal (10 m or more),
for example on a road that goes through a
dense forest . The signal can become weak in some
areas that are not covered by the repeater
station network.
Please note that these may be other
unforeseen circumstances when there
are problems with the reception of SiriusXM
TMsatellite radio signals. NOTE
The channel guide is not yet updated if
the update is done while receiving the
Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio signal. To
complete the update, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK ”position and then
to the “ACC ”or “ON ”position.
& 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.
The satellite radio ID can be found on the
audio display by tuning the channel to “0 ”.
Turn the “TUNE/TRACK/CH ”dial to select
the satellite radio channel.
NOTE
For Sirius, change the display to an
indication mode other than the channel
number after performing the aboveoperation. Audio
