& 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 circumstances 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.

For some models, the satellite r adio
antenna is fixed to the upper right hand
corner of the windshield.
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
