Possible Cause and Resolution Symptom

windows that are facing the hotspot.
• If your vehicle is in a garage and you have the garage door closed, open the garage
door.
I cannot see a network in the list of available
networks that I expect to see.– Hidden network.
• Make the network visible and try again.
I cannot see the Wi-Fi Hotspot name when I
search for Wi-Fi networks on my cell phone
or other device.– System limitation.
• Make sure Wi-Fi hotspot visibility is on.
• The system does not provide a Wi-Fi hotspot at this time.
– Weak network signal
• Move your vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi hotspot or to a place where the network signal
is not obstructed.
– Wi-Fi hotspot in high demand or has a slow Internet connection.
• Use a more reliable Wi-Fi hotspot. Software downloads take too long.
– No software update available.
– Wi-Fi network requires a subscription or acceptance of terms and conditions.

DIGITAL RADIO
Note:HD Radio broadcasts are not available
in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital evolution
of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a
special receiver that allows it to receive
digital broadcasts, where available, in
addition to the analog broadcasts, it already
receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a guide
to available stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the HD Radio logo on your
screen. When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM mode,
only, if the current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers signify available digital channels
where new or different content is available.
HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations, HD2
through HD7, are only available digitally.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
can access the following functions:
•Memory presets allow you to save an
active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot
until the sound returns. There is a brief
mute while the radio saves the station.
Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory
preset, the sound mutes before the
digital audio plays, because the system
has to reacquire the digital signal.
