05 Infotainment Radio In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channels offering additional types of programming or music. In such cases, the "-" symbol will be displayed to the left of the frequency number and a number will be displayed to the right of the frequency number indicating that the currently tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indicates that you are currently listening to the first sub-channel on frequency 93.9. NOTE Sirius satellite radio* Listening to satellite radio The Sirius satellite system consists of a number of high elevation satellites in geosynchronous orbit. • When the radio has gone into HD mode, it may take several seconds before the ">" symbol (if the current frequency has any sub-channels) is displayed to the left of the frequency. Pressing and holding the arrow keys for approximately 1 second before the main-/sub-channel icon is displayed will cause the radio to tune to the next available radio station, not to the current station's sub-channels. When you are no longer in broadcasting range of the currently tuned sub-channel, No reception will be displayed. The radio will then be muted and it will be necessary to tune to or search for a new radio station. NOTE • Selecting sub-channels 05 • 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. To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press and hold the right arrow key on the center console or on the steering wheel keypad for approximately 1 second. To go back to the main channel, press and hold the left arrow key on the center console or on the steering wheel keypad for approximately 1 second. To go to subchannel 2 (if available), press and hold the right arrow key on the center console or on the steering wheel keypad for approximately 1 second. If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main channel, pressing and holding the left arrow key for approximately 1 second will tune to the next lower radio frequency. • Sub-channels can also be stored as presets, see page 215 for information on storing stations. If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audible. If you press this button while you are out of digital range of the transmitter, No HD reception will be displayed. Selecting Sirius radio mode 1.
