INSTRUMENT PANEL (Seek): Press the seek arrow to go to the next radio station while in AM, FM, or XM (if equipped). Press this button to go to the next track or chapter while sourced to the CD/DVD slot. FM FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. Multi-Band Antenna The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of your vehicle. This type of antenna is used with the AM/FM radio and the XMTM Satellite Radio Service System. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception. If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the radio system may be affected if the sunroof is open. The roof rack crossrails may cause interference with the radio reception if items are kept in the rear most position. Keep objects that have been loaded on the roof of the vehicle at least one foot (0.31 meter) away from the antenna. Make sure the multiband antenna is not obstructed. Radio Reception XMTM Satellite Radio Service XMTM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. You may experience interference with satellite radio signals, while driving near tall buildings or through hilly areas, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, driving or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the XMTM signal for a period of time. The radio screen may display NO XM to indicate interference. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio reception, most AM radio stations will boost the power levels during the day, and then reduce these levels during the night. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on your radio. Care of Your CDs and DVDs Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. Care of the CD and DVD Player The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism. 3-74
