Satellite radio operation (if
equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver for some models, and to enter
into a contract with a satellite radio
network service such as “Sirius XMTM
satellite radio” (for U.S.A. only). For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

Activation (for U.S.A. only)
Models with Sirius XMTM are eligible for a
3-month complimentary subscription to
the Sirius XMTM Satellite Radio service.

& Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multitiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed groundbased repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas.
! Sirius XMTM satellite radio reception
tips (for U.S.A. only — if equipped)
The Sirius XMTM satellite radio receiver
that is fitted to your vehicle receives the
necessary signals from two specially
designated satellites that are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. One satellite
covers the east coast and the other covers
the west coast. Both of them direct their
signals north. These signals are then
relayed throughout the radio reception
area by a network of ground repeater
stations. The satellite radio signals are
transmitted as “line of sight” signals. The
line of sight signals can be blocked by
objects such as buildings, but the network
of repeater stations allows signal coverage within urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving
Sirius XMTM satellite radio signals in the
following situations.
