Radio Reception
Radio reception is affected by
station signal strength, distance
from radio transmitter, buildings,
bridges, mountains, and other
external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these
external influences.
FM
FM signals only reach about 40 to
48 km (25 to 30 mi), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly
more range than stereo FM.
External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception
even if the FM station is within
40 km (25 mi). The strength of the
FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter
and receiver.
AM
AM signals, because of their low
frequency, can bend around objects
and skip along the ground. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals

Radio 13
are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to
receiver.
Satellite Radio Reception (If
Equipped)
When the satellite radio is used for
the first time or the battery has been
replaced, the satellite radio may not
work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than
10 minutes with satellite radio on
and the vehicle outside of any metal
or large building for satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is
available and“NO SAT”is displayed
when the SAT band option is
selected unless an optional satellite
receiver and antenna are installed
and a SiriusXM Satellite Radio
service subscription is active.
Satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof
blocks the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over
the satellite antenna. A build up of ice on the satellite
radio antenna can affect satellite
radio performance. Remove the ice
to restore satellite radio reception.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna will go
through most car washes as long as
it is securely attached. If the
antenna becomes slightly bent,
straighten it out by hand. If it is
badly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check that the antenna
is tight at the base. If tightening is
required, protect the paint from
damage.
