FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, butFM signals reach only about 16 to65 km (10 to 40 mi). Tall buildings orhills can interfere with FM signals,causing the sound to fade inand out.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may causeinterference with the radio. Thisinterference may occur whenmaking or receiving phone calls,charging the phone's battery,or simply having the phone on. Thisinterference causes an increasedlevel of static while listening to theradio. If static is received whilelistening to the radio, unplug thecellular phone and turn it off.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on theroof of the vehicle. The antenna isused for the Navigation System,OnStar®and the SiriusXM®SatelliteRadio Service System if the vehiclehas these features. Tall buildings,hills, trees, heavy foliage, tunnels,bridges, and garages will affectreception. Keep the antenna clear ofobstructions for clear reception.Make sure there is sufficientclearance when entering garages orparking structures.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such asCDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray Discs®,SDcards, USB drives, and mobiledevices, consider the source.Untrusted media devices couldcontain files that affect systemoperation or performance. Avoid useif the content or origin cannot betrusted.

Care of the CD Player
Do not add any label to a CD.It could get caught in the CD player.If a CD is recorded on a personalcomputer and a description label isneeded, try labeling the top of therecorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners is notadvised, due to the risk ofcontaminating the lens of the CDoptics with lubricants internal to theCD player mechanism.
