NOTE:
• The dealer demo service lasts for 7 months or until
the vehicle’s RDR (retail delivery registration) is
submitted.
• After the vehicle is registered, the dealer demo
service converts to a client account. The client gets a
3-month trial service of all available non-premium
XM channels. If the client decides to end the service
after that time, the XM radio reverts to preview
mode. Normal AM and FM radio reception is not
affected by ending the service.
• The XM radio receives digital programming
broadcasts from two fixed-orbit satellites near the
equator along with a network of ground antennas
(repeaters). You will get the strongest signal if you
park the vehicle where there is a clear view of the
southern sky.
• The XM radio may lose reception when you are
driving through a tunnel, under an overpass, inside
a parking garage, or near the northern face of a
canyon or a mountain.
• To cut down on reception loss, the XM radio uses
a buffer. If the reception loss lasts longer than the
buffering period, the signal goes silent.
• Because the XM radio signal is digital, any reception
loss makes the signal go silent; the signal usually
does not fade like it does with a conventional radio.
• If you ever need to replace the XM radio receiver,
call XM Satellite Radio at
(800) 852-9696
. Be
prepared to give them your dealer number, the VIN,
and the XM radio ID numbers from the printed label
on the side of the old and the new receiver units.
• Your client’s XM radio presets will be lost if you
disconnect the 12-volt battery or if it goes dead. Be
sure to write down the presets before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery.
Do the HandsFreeLink Operational Check
To confirm that the HFL (HandsFreeLink) system is

system is OK.”

If the above procedure does not work, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery for 30 seconds, then
reconnect it. Then repeat steps 1 thru 10.

seconds, then do the following:
• Reenter the audio unit anti-theft code.
• Reenter the navigation system code.
• Do the idle learn procedure.
