Listening to satellite radio
The Sirius satellite system consists of a number of high elevation satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
NOTE
• The digital signals from the Sirius satellites
are line-of-sight, which means that
physical obstructions such as bridges,
tunnels, etc, may temporarily interfere
with signal reception.
• Avoid any obstructions, such as metallic
objects transported on roof racks or
in a ski box, or other antennas that may
impede signals from the SIRIUS satellites.
Selecting Sirius radio mode
1. Press Power to switch on the audio system
(see page 246 for information on the
standard radio functions).
2. Turn the SELECTOR dial until Sirius 1 or 2
is displayed.
Activating Sirius radio
1. Tune to a satellite channel that has no
audio, which means that the channel is
unsubscribed and the text "Call 888-539-
SIRIUS TO SUBSCRIBE" is displayed
(see also "Selecting a channel" in the right
column).
2. Call Sirius at 1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474).
3. When asked for the Sirius ID number press
AUTO to display this number. It is also
possible to retrieve the Sirius ID from the
MENU.

displayed while the subscription is being
updated, after which the display will return
to the normal view.
