Occasionally check that the antenna is tight
at the base. If tightening is required, protect
the paint from damage.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the roof of
the vehicle. The antenna is used for OnStar
and the SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
System if the vehicle has these features. Tall
buildings, hills, trees, heavy foliage, tunnels,
bridges, and garages will affect reception.
Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for
clear reception. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance when entering garages or parking
structures.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media Devices
When using media devices such as CDs,
DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, SD cards, USB devices,
and mobile devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could contain files
that affect system operation or performance.
Avoid use if the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
CD Player
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 personal computer and a description
label is needed, try labeling the top of the
recorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners is not advised,
due to the risk of contaminating the lens of
the CD optics with lubricants internal to the
CD player mechanism.
Caution
If a label is added to a CD, more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play scratched
or damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While using the CD player, use
only CDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD at a time, and keep
the CD player and the loading slot free of
foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Player
Messages” later in this section.
Care of CDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be
reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality, the
method of recording, the quality of the
music that has been recorded, and the way
the CD-R or CD-RW has been handled.
Handle them carefully. Store CD-Rs or
CD-RWs in their original cases or other
protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD does not play properly
or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side
of a CD while handling it; this could damage
the surface. Pick up CDs by the outer edges
or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, clean it with
a soft, lint-free cloth or dampen a clean, soft
cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
mixed with water. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to the edge.
Inserting a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side
up. The player pulls it in and the CD should
begin playing.
