●Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier, especially metal objects, may adversely
affect the reception of XM® Satellite Radio.

changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding

●The radio antenna is mounted inside the trunk and the rear window. To maintain
clear radio reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic
objects to the antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
