hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns. There is a brief mute
while the radio saves the station. Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the sound mutes before
the digital audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital
signal.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of the
reception area, the station may mute due to weak signal strength.
Reception
area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog
broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again. However, if you
are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels, the
station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast
stations), it first plays the station in the analog version. Once the receiver
verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change
when the station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow
and ice build-up and keep luggage and other materials as far away
from the antenna as possible.
Antenna
obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,
parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere
with your reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger
signal may overtake a weaker one and the audio system may mute.
Station over-
load
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interference and

WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your
vehicle is moving. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving. Your auxiliary input jack allows you to play
music from your portable music player over
your vehicle's speakers. The jack is located
in your center console.
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, and then select Line In.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music player
is designed for use with headphones and
that it is fully charged. You also need an
audio extension cable with stereo male
1/8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors at
both ends.
1. Switch off the radio and portable music
player. Apply the parking brake and
shift the transmission into park (P) for
automatic transmission or first gear for
manual transmission. Switch the
ignition off. 2.
Attach one end of the audio extension
cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the
adapter in one of the jack inside the
center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned FM
station or a CD (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the
Line In tab.
(You should hear audio from your
portable music player although it may
be low.)
7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level
of the FM station or CD by switching
back and forth between the controls.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio input jack to
a line level output. The jack only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume
control.
• Do not set the portable music player's
volume level higher than is necessary
to match the volume of the CD or FM
radio as this causes distortion and
reduces sound quality.
• If the music sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable music
player volume down. If the problem
persists, replace or recharge the
batteries in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in
the same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack
does not provide control (such as Play
or Pause) over the attached portable
media player.
