CAUSE:
Weather forecasts, forecast temperature or highest/lowest temperature, and the chances of
precipitation, etc. can be displayed in weather information. SiriusXM (sXM) services subscription is

Verify an active subscription for SiriusXM (SXM) services has been
extended, after 1-year free trial period. Content using the SiriusXM® Satellite Radio Service is reset

SiriusXM U.S. satellite and data services are available only in the 48 contiguous states and the
District of Columbia (DC). SiriusXM Satellite Services are also available in Canada; see www.

NOTE:
4-month trial of SXM audio
was launched beginning with MY12 models equipped with satellite
radio. During the trial period, SXM does engage with the customer to let them know about their
trial and when it is going to expire. If SXM does not hear from the customer or receive some type of
payment, they assume the customer is not interested and deactivate SXM radio after the 4-month trial
period is over. SXM offers free listening campaigns which run several times each year. Whenever
there is a concern about SXM outside the trial period, always confirm the customer subscription is
active and current before condemning the head unit. This still applies for those cases where signal
refresh seems to restore function (even briefly).
3 years of SXM Traffic and Travel Link
was launched with MY16 vehicles equipped with
navigation.
3 years of SXM audio + T Travel Link is only applicable to MY17 Outback Touring
models.
