5-2 Audio Antenna system & Printed antenna CAUTION Do not use sharp instruments or window cleaner containing abrasives to clean the inner surface of the window on which the antenna is printed. Doing so may damage the antenna printed on the window. any other material over the antenna portion of the rear window glass. XMTM satellite radio reception (if equipped) XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160 coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children's programming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more information, contact XMTM at w w w. x m r a d i o . c o m o r c a l l 1 - 8 0 0 XMRADIO (1-800-967-2346) for U.S. www.xmradio.ca or call 1-877-GET-XMSR (1-877-438-9677) for Canada. The 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 USA by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as "line of sight" signals. 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. & FM reception Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surrounding area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and transmitter distance. Buildings or other obstructions may cause momentary static, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station. NOTE If a cell phone is placed near the radio, it may cause the radio to emit noise when it receives calls. This noise does not indicate a radio fault. The antenna is printed on the inner surface of the rear window glass. NOTE Antenna performance will deteriorate significantly if you apply tinting film or
