Sirius or not?

Sirius or not?
New member here. Also first time truck owner. Fortunate enough after months of looking to find the exact Ranger I was looking for. It is a one owner 2011 XLT 4x4 with only 19K miles
My question is this: Do I have a satellite capable radio, and how do I make it receive Sirius? I am a bit confused by the terminology shown on the window sticker (photo attached).
I think it says there is a Sirius radio installed in my truck, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Owner's manual is confusing to me and has no illustrations of the radio.
Cancel thread. I found my answer. Had to press the "AUX" button several times. That's really intuitive! And no instructions to do this in the owner's manual!

If that is the correct window sticker for your truck, yes you have SAT radio
If the factory radio is still in the truck, there will be an "Aux" button,
Press that button, it should cycle thru SAT 1, SAT 2, SAT 3, and AUX
If it doesn't cycle to "SAT" then check fuse #12 in the fuse box behind the passenger side kick panel, should be a 15 amp fuse.
