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 overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interference and the a\
udio system may mute.

Touch this icon to switch the heated steering wheel on and off. It takes about 5 minutes to warm the steering wheel to 74°F (23.3°C)
in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C). The wheel maintains an a\
pproximate temperature of 90°F (32.2°C) and operates independently
from the heated seats and other climate-control functions. The heating e\
lement is in between the leather covering and foam core
to help provide maximum heat without adversely affecting the feel of the\
steering wheel.
Note:
For steering wheels with wood trim, the heating feature will not heat t\
he wheel between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.

t from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX
A/C to reduce risk of fogging. It may also turn on and off automatically\
in Panel or Panel/Floor airflow modes during hot weather in
order to improve cooling efficiency.
