109Saab 9-5 Audio System
Antennas
The audio system has two antennas incor-
porated in the rear window: one for FM and
one for AM.
The XM
TM
Satellite Radio antenna 3 is
located on the roof of the vehicle. Keep this
antenna clear of snow and ice build up for
clear radio reception.
• Roof loads can negatively affect telecom-
munication, GPS reception and the
performance of the XM
TM
system 3.
• If sun film is fitted to the rear window, it
must be a pure-plastic variety to maintain
good radio reception. Ensure that the film
does not contain any metal.
Multipath propagation
Multipath propagation occurs when radio
waves from an FM transmitter are reflected
by a large building, or the like, causing them
to arrive slightly later than the direct waves.
This can create interference to radio recep-
tion. See also "Diversity antenna".
Diversity antenna 3
To improve radio reception when the topog-
raphy is a problem, a second FM antenna,
known as a diversity antenna, can be fitted
in the rear window. Consult a Saab dealer
for further information.
NOTICE
Refrain from placing hard or sharp
objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid
damaging the antenna leads.
