SiriusXM®Satellite Radio infor-
mation
Satellite Radio channels:
Enjoy SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a 3-
month trial subscription to the Sirius
Select package. You’ll get over 140
channels, including commercial-free
music, plus all your favorite sports,
exclusive talk, entertainment, and a
selection of premium programming. For

iusxm.com in the United States, sir-
iusxm.ca in Canada, or call Sir iusXM
at 1-888-539-7474.
Satellite Radio reception factors:
To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof
provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a
requirement of a satellite radio sys-
tem. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio
reception performance:
Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice
build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the
antenna as possible.
Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall build- ings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages,
dense tree foliage and thunder-
storms can interfere with your
reception.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio service:
SiriusXM is a subscription-based
satellite radio service that broad-
casts music, sports, news and enter-
tainment programming to radio
receivers, which are available for
installation in motor vehicles or facto-
ry installed, as well as for the home,
portable and wireless devices, and
through an Internet connection on a
personal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a
factory installed Sir iusXMSatellite
Radio system include:
Hardware and an introductory trial subscription term, which begins on
the date of sale or lease of the vehicle.
For a small upgrade fee, access to SiriusXM m usic channels, and other
select channels over the Internet
using any computer connected to
the Internet (U.S. customers only). For information on extended sub-
scription terms, contact SiriusXM at
1-888-539-7474.
NOTE:
SiriusXM services require a sub-
scription sold separately, or as a
package, by Sirius XM Radio Inc.
If you decide to continue service
after your trial, the subscription
plan you choose will automatical-
ly renew thereafter and you will be
charged according to your chosen
payment method at then-current
rates. Fees and taxes apply. To
cancel you must call SiriusXM at
1-866-635-2349. See SiriusXM
Customer Agreement for com-
plete terms at www.siriusxm.com.
SiriusXM U.S. satellite and data
services are available only in the
48 contiguous states, DC and
Puerto Rico (with coverage limita-
tions). SiriusXM satellite service
