Smart Shortcuts

By observing and learning driver behaviors, patterns, and preferences, the system
anticipates driver actions and presents on-screen suggestions to help perform
desired actions quicker and with fewer steps.

•

The app will suggest actions based on what it learns you do often, and
occasionally make recommendations based on your learned preferences.

•

The system will take some time to learn. The more you interact with the system,
the more suggestion you will see, and the more accurate they will become.

•

Suggestions will automatically refresh periodically to provide updated content for
each profile.

•

You can also provide feedback on whether a suggestion is helpful by pressing and
holding on it. This can help the app grow smarter over time.

The SiriusXM

satellites are in orbit over the equator;

therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals are
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.

You may experience reception problems under the
following circumstances:

•

In a location with an obstruction to the south of
your vehicle.

•

In tunnels

•

On the lower level of a multi-tiered road

•

Large items carried on the roof rack

* Not available on all models
