Hyundai Elantra: Satellite radio reception
To ensure a safe and fuel-efficient drive, this section outlines good driving practices specifically suited to the Hyundai Elantra.
You may experience difficulties in receiving XM™ satellite radio signals in the following situations.
- 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 satellite.
- If you are driving on a mountain road where is the signal blocked by mountains.
- If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (30 ft. /10m or more), for example on an road that goes through a dense forest.
- The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the XM™ repeater network.
NOTE:
There may be other unforeseen circumstances leading to reception problems with the XM™ satellite radio signal.
Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be produced from the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION
When using a communication system such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone while driving. Stop at a safe location to use a cellular phone.

DIY maintenance not only saves money but builds familiarity with your car’s systems. It’s crucial to follow instructions carefully to avoid accidental damage. Always use recommended parts and fluids to maintain compatibility and performance. Ensure the vehicle is turned off, parked securely, and cooled before any work begins. Wear gloves and eye protection when needed, and dispose of waste materials responsibly. Start with simple tasks and gradually expand your skills with experience. When done properly, DIY maintenance fosters confidence and reduces long-term operating costs. It transforms you from a passive user into an informed, empowered vehicle owner.
