Automatic tuning may not function properly if the station reception is weakened by distance from the station or proximity to tall buildings and hills.

▲ Selecting preset stations

Presetting a station with a preset button (10) allows you to select that station in a single operation. Up to six, AM, FM1 and FM2 stations each may be preset.

• If a cell phone is placed near the radio, it may cause the radio to emit noise when it receives calls. This noise does not indicate a radio malfunction.

▲ Satellite radio mode (if equipped)

To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to install the SUBARU genuine satellite receiver (optional part) and to enter into a contract with a satellite radio network service such as “Sirius XMTM satellite radio” (for U.S.A. only) or “Sirius satellite radio” (for Canada only). For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

▲ Sirius satellite radio (for Canada only)

Sirius satellite radio is a recent innovation that allows the listener to experience digital sound quality and to have a greater variety of channels.

Use of satellite radio (Sirius) requires a tuner, antenna and a service contract. For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer or visit Sirius Satellite Radio at www.sirius.ca or call 1-888-539-7474 for more information. Sirius, the Sirius dog logo, channel names and logos are trademarks of SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc.

▲ Sirius XMTM Satellite Radio Activation (for U.S.A. only)

Models with Sirius XMTM are eligible for a 3-month complimentary subscription to the Sirius XMTM Satellite Radio service.

Activation process:

You can activate the XM Satellite Radio from the website of the XM Satellite Radio.

For details, visit the website.

▲ Satellite radio reception

Satellite radio signals are best received in areas with a clear view of the open sky. In areas where there are tall buildings, trees, tunnels or other structures that may obstruct the signal of the satellites, there may be signal interruptions. Other circumstances that may result in signal loss include driving near a wall, steep cliff or hill, or driving on the lower level of a multitiered road or inside a parking garage.

To help reduce this condition, satellite radio providers have installed groundbased repeaters in heavily populated areas. However, you may still experience reception problems in some areas.

▲ Displaying satellite radio ID of tuner

When you activate satellite radio, you should have your satellite radio tuner ID ready because each tuner is identified by its unique satellite radio tuner ID.

The satellite radio ID will be needed when you activate satellite radio and receive satellite radio customer support.

The satellite radio ID can be found on the audio display by tuning the channel to “0”.

Turn the “TUNE TRACK” button (4) to select the satellite radio channel.
