7-14 Infotainment System If a cellular telephone 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. 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. Fixed Mast Antenna The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes without being damaged as long as it is securely attached to the base. If the mast becomes slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it. Occasionally check to make sure the antenna is tightened to its base. If tightening is required, tighten by hand until fully seated plus one quarter turn. Diversity Antenna System For vehicles with convertible tops, the AM-FM antenna is a hidden self‐tuning system and is located in the rear spoiler. It optimizes the AM and FM signals relative to the vehicle's position and radio station source. No maintenance or adjustments are needed. Do not place loads on the spoiler. If the spoiler is replaced, be sure it is replaced with the correct GM parts for the best AM and FM reception. Backglass Antenna The AM-FM antenna is 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. For proper radio reception, the antenna connector needs to be properly attached to the post on the glass. Satellite Radio Antenna For vehicles with XM Satellite Radio Service, the antenna is located on the decklid of the vehicle. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear radio reception.
