occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in
and out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,
or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM
signal for a period of time. Some cellular
services may interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making or
receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
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.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used for radio,
navigation, and OnStar, depending on the
equipped options. Keep clear of obstructions
for clear reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, reception can also
be affected.
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.
Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Radios with an auxiliary input jack on the
lower right side can connect to an external
audio device such as an iPod, MP3 player,
or CD player for use as another source for
audio listening. This input jack is not an
audio output; do not plug headphones into
the front auxiliary input jack.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any
auxiliary device while the vehicle is in
P (Park). See
Defensive Driving 0121 for
more information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a
3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to the radio's front
auxiliary input jack. When a device is
connected, press the radio CD/AUX button
to begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase the
portable audio device's volume to the
loudest level.
It is always best to power the portable
audio device through its own battery while
playing.
O: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the volume of the
portable player. Additional volume
adjustments might have to be made from
the portable device if the volume is not loud
or soft enough.
