information

• Satellite Radio channels:

Enjoy SiriusXM Satellite Radio
with a 3-month trial subscription
to the Sirius Select package. You’ll
get over variable channels, includ-
ing commercial-free music, plus
all your favorite sports, exclusive
talk, entertainment, and a selec-
tion of premium programming.
For more information and a com-
plete list of SiriusXM channels,
visit siriusxm.com in the United
States, siriusxm.ca in Canada, or
call SiriusXM at 1-888-539-7474.

• Satellite Radio reception factors:

To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on
the roof of your vehicle. The vehi-
cle roof provides the best location
for an unobstructed, open view of
the sky, a requirement of a satellite
radio system. Like AM/FM, there
are several factors that can affect
satellite radio reception perform-
ance:

(Continued)

(Continued)

- Antenna obstructions: For opti-

mal reception performance, keep
the antenna clear of snow and
ice build-up and keep luggage
and other material as far away
from the antenna as possible.

• SiriusXM Satellite Radio service:

SiriusXM is a subscription-based
satellite radio service that broad-
casts music, sports, news and
entertainment programming to
radio receivers, which are avail-
able for installation in motor vehi-
cles or factory installed, as well as
for the home, portable and wire-
less devices, and through an Internet
connection on a personal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a
factory installed SiriusXM Satellite
Radio system include:
- Hardware and an introductory

trial subscription term, which
begins on the date of sale or lease
of the vehicle.

- For a small upgrade fee, access to

SiriusXM music channels, and
other select channels over the
Internet using any computer con-
nected to the Internet (U.S. cus-
tomers only).

(Continued)

(Continued)
• SiriusXM services require a sub-

scription sold separately, or as a
package, by Sirius XM Radio Inc.
If you decide to continue service
after your trial, the subscription
plan you choose will automatically
renew thereafter and you will be
charged according to your chosen
payment method at then-current
rates. Fees and taxes apply. To
cancel you must call SiriusXM at
1-866-635-2349. See SiriusXM
Customer Agreement for complete

tions). SiriusXM satellite service is
