Satellite radio operation (if

equipped)

To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to

install the SUBARU genuine s atellite

receiver for some models, and to enter

into a cont ract with a satellite radio

network service such as “Sirius XM

satellite radio” (for U.S.A. only). For de-

tails, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

& Sirius XM

Satellite Radio

Activation (for U.S.A. only)

Models with Sirius XM

are eligible for a

3-month complimentary subscription to

the Sirius XM

Satellite Radio service.

! Activation process

If you would like to activate your Satellite

Radio online, please visit

.sir-

and follow the

step-by-step instructions for easy activa-

tion.

& 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,

t unnels or other structures that may

obstruct the signal of the satellites, there

may be signal interruptions. Other circum-

stances that may result in signal loss

include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill

or driving on the lower level of a multi-

tiered road or inside of a parking garage.

To help reduce this condition, satellite

radio providers have installed ground-

based repea ters in heavily populated

areas. However, you may still experience

reception problems in some areas.

! Sirius XM

satellite radio reception

tips (for U.S.A. only — if equipped)

The Sirius XM

satellite radio receiver

that is fitted to your vehicle receives the

necessary sign als fr om two specially

designated satellites that are in a geosta-

tionary orbit over the equator. One satellite

covers the east coast and the other covers

the west coast. Both of them direct their

signals north. These sign als are then

relayed throughout the radio reception

area by a network of ground repeater

stations. The satellite radio signals are

transmitted as “line of sight” signals. The

line of sight signals can be blocked by

objects such as buildings, but the network

of repeater stations allows signal cover-

age within urban areas such as cities.

You may experience problems in receiving

Sirius XM

satellite radio signals in the

following situations.

. If you are driving northward in a coastal

area

Because the satellite radio antenna is

located on the windshield, the signal

comes from the south and may not be

able to reach the antenna in some

circumstances when you are driving north.

. If you are driving in a tunnel or a

covered parking area

. If you are driving beneath the top level

of a multi-level freeway

. If you drive under a bridge

. If you are driving next to a tall vehicle

(such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the

signal

. If you are driving in a valley where the

surrounding hills or peaks block the signal

from the south

. If you are driving on a mountain road

where the southern direction is blocked by

mountains

. If you are driving in an area with tall

trees that block the signal (10 m or more),

for example on a road that goes through a

dense forest

. The signal can become weak in some

areas that are not covered by the repeater

station network.

Please no te that these may be other

unforeseen circumstances when there

are problems with the reception of Sirius

satellite radio signals.

& 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.

For details, contact your SUBARU dealer.
