Troubleshooting
XM Travel Link services use theSiriusXM®Satellite Signal and GPSSatellite Signal to provide thisfeature.
When the vehicle is started, it cantake up to five minutes for the radioto receive the travel Link services.
Travel Link Messages
No GPS Signal :Move the vehicleinto a position that is visible tothe sky.
Acquiring Signal :Radio isdownloading the activationinformation or not receiving a goodsignal. Move the vehicle to open skyand restart the vehicle.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference, and staticcan occur during normal radioreception if items such as cell phonechargers, vehicle convenienceaccessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into theaccessory power outlet. If there isinterference or static, unplug theitem from the accessory poweroutlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although theradio has a built-in electronic circuitthat automatically works to reduceinterference, some static can occur,especially around tall buildings orhills, causing the sound to fade inand out.
AM
The range for most AM stations isgreater than for FM, especially atnight. The longer range can causestation frequencies to interfere witheach other. Static can occur whenthings like storms and power linesinterfere with radio reception. Whenthis happens, try reducing the trebleon the radio.
SiriusXM®Satellite Radio
Service
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Servicegives digital radio reception fromcoast to coast in the 48 contiguousUnited States, and in Canada. Justas with FM, tall buildings or hills caninterfere with satellite radio signals,causing the sound to fade in andout. In addition, traveling or standingunder heavy foliage, bridges,garages, or tunnels may cause lossof the SiriusXM signal for a periodof time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can causeinterference with the vehicle's radio.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integratedwith the rear window defogger in therear window. Do not scratch theinside surface or damage the linesin the glass. If the inside surface isdamaged, it could interfere withradio reception. For proper radio
