Backglass Antenna (Sedan) Vehicles without OnStar have the AM-FM antenna integrated with the rear window defogger, located in the rear window. Make sure that the inside surface of the rear window is not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere with radio reception. Also, for proper radio reception, the antenna connector at the top-center of the rear window needs to be properly attached to the post on the glass. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window antenna and/or the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects. Notice: Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception. Any damage caused to your backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Because this antenna is built into the rear window, there is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes and vandals. ® If static is heard on the radio, when the rear window defogger is turned on, it could mean that a defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the grid line must be repaired. If adding a cellular telephone to the vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the glass, make sure that the grid lines for the AM-FM antenna are not damaged. There is enough space between the grid lines to attach a cellular telephone antenna without interfering with radio reception. Multi-Band Antenna Vehicles with OnStar® have a multi-band antenna that is located on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used for the AM/FM radio, OnStar® and the XM™ Satellite Radio Service System. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the AM/FM radio, OnStar ®, and the XM system may be affected if the sunroof is open. 4-66

Backglass Antenna (Sedan)

Vehicles without OnStar

have the AM-FM antenna

integrated with the rear window defogger, located in the

rear window. Make sure that the inside surface of the

rear window is not scratched and that the lines on the

glass are not damaged. If the inside surface is

damaged, it could interfere with radio reception. Also,

for proper radio reception, the antenna connector at the

top-center of the rear window needs to be properly

attached to the post on the glass.

Notice:

Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear

the inside rear window can damage the rear window

antenna and/or the rear window defogger. Repairs

would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do

not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.

Notice:

Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with

metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting

materials will interfere with or distort the incoming

radio reception. Any damage caused to your

backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials

will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Because this antenna is built into the rear window, there

is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes and

vandals.

If static is heard on the radio, when the rear window

defogger is turned on, it could mean that a defogger

grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the grid line

must be repaired.

If adding a cellular telephone to the vehicle, and the

antenna needs to be attached to the glass, make sure

that the grid lines for the AM-FM antenna are not

damaged. There is enough space between the grid

lines to attach a cellular telephone antenna without

interfering with radio reception.

Multi-Band Antenna

Vehicles with OnStar

have a multi-band antenna that is

located on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used

for the AM/FM radio, OnStar

and the XM

™

Satellite

Radio Service System. Keep the antenna clear of

obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a

sunroof, the performance of the AM/FM radio, OnStar

and the XM system may be affected if the sunroof

is open.
