To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver for some models, and to enter
into a contract with a satellite radio
network service such as
“Sirius XM
TM
satellite radio ”(for U.S.A. only). For de-
tails, please contact your SUBARU dealer. & Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio
Activation (for U.S.A. only)
Models with Sirius XM
TMare eligible for a
3-month complimentary subscription to
the Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio service.
! Activation process
If you would like to activate your Satellite
Radio online, please visit
http://www.sir-iusxm.com/activationhelp and follow the
step-by-step instructions for easy activa- tion. & 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 U.S.A. only —if equipped)
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. Audio
