|
| • Obstacles are blocking signals |

| from the satellites. |
|
| • The position of satellites relative to |
|
| your vehicle is bad. |
|
| • Signals from the GPS satellites |
|
| have been modified to reduce |

| This may lead to greater position- |

|
| • If a vehicle phone or cellular phone |
|
| is used near the GPS antenna, GPS |
|
| reception may be lost temporarily. |
|
| • Do not cover the GPS antenna with |
|
| spray paint or vehicle wax, because |
|
| this may block the reception of |
|
| GPS signals. Snow buildup can |

| also degrade the signals. |
