Radio Reception

Unplug electronic devices from the accessory power outlets if there is interference or static in the radio.

FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at

night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.

SiriusXM®Satellite Radio Service

If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service provides digital radio reception. Tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time.

Cell Phone Usage

Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or just having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens.

Backglass Antenna

The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear window defogger in the rear window. Do not scratch the inside surface or damage the lines in the glass. If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere with radio reception. For proper radio reception, the antenna connector needs to be properly attached to the post on the glass.

If attaching a cell phone antenna to the glass, attach it between the grid lines.

Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window antenna and/or the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.

Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception. Any damage caused to the backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Caution

Multi-Band Antenna

The roof antenna is for OnStar®, SiriusXM (Global Positioning System). Keep clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.

Maps

The map database is stored in the internal flash memory that is used in the navigation system.

Detailed Areas

Road network attributes are contained in the map database for detailed areas. Attributes include information such as street names, street addresses, and turn restrictions. A detailed area includes all major highways, service roads, and residential roads. The detailed areas include Places of Interest (POIs) such as restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations, gas stations, tourist attractions, and historical monuments. The map database may not include data for newly constructed areas or map database corrections that are completed after production. The navigation system provides full route guidance in the detailed map areas.

Navigation Symbols

Following are the most common symbols that appear on a map screen.

The vehicle symbol indicates the current position and heading direction of the vehicle on the map. When under route guidance, a circle with an arrow is added to the vehicle symbol which indicates the direction to the destination.

Vehicle Address Callout

Whenever the keyboard view is entered, the last text that was typed, even if it was not searched on, will display.

A partial or complete address can be typed in the search field. If a partial address is typed, the system attempts to use local knowledge to fill in additional information. For example, if no city name or state are given, the system assumes a search for something in the current city or a

Intersections: If looking for an intersection, type in the two street names and optionally the city and state/province of the intersection.

3. If autocomplete does not show the results needed, press the delete screen button to clear the autocomplete from the entered field.

If there are no matches, a pop-up displays in response to show how the system understood the entered text and attempts to show how the text could be entered to help find the destination.

Multiple Matches

If the search results in multiple matches, a list of matches is shown.

Address search results are grouped by result type, in the order of Full Addresses, States, Cities, Intersections, and Streets. If no results are found in a particular group, that group is not shown. If only one type of result is found, the single type result screen is shown. Within each group, they are listed in confidence order. This means that the closest match result will be at the top.

Address searches can be sorted by Confidence, Distance, or Alphabetical Order.

Spelling Mistakes

The system is able to offer alternatives if the searched term is not found exactly. The system uses the closest term it finds and provides those results.

The system first searches the entered term exactly. If no matches are found, partial words are used.

An example is, when entering in an address, the system attempts to do a full match on the entire string. If it does not find a match, the house number is then considered an optional term and the system attempts to find the street and city name. The prefix and suffix of street names are also treated as optional terms. The search is first done by trying to match the prefix and/or suffix. If there is no match found, these terms are removed from the search to make the search more generic.

Creating a Text File with Information

Create a text file by using a simple text editor software. Save this file with a name and extension of .csv, for example, “TomsPOI.csv.”

Enter the POI information into the text file in the following format:

Longitude coordinate, Latitude coordinate, “Name of POI,” “Additional information,” “Phone number.”

Example: 7.0350000,

50.6318040, “Michaels Home,”

“123 Maple Lane,” “02379234567.”

The GPS coordinates must be expressed in decimal degrees and can be taken from a geographical map. The additional information and phone number strings are optional.

The POI name and the additional information string may not exceed 60 characters.

POI information for each destination address must be entered in a single separate line.

Storing the POI on a USB Drive

In the root directory of a USB drive, create a folder name “myPOIs,” for example, “F:\” is the root directory of the USB drive.

In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text file with your POIs, for example, “F:\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.”

Downloading the POI to the Infotainment System

Connect the USB drive or SD card containing the POI information to the USB port or SD card slot of the Infotainment system. A message displays prompting whether or not to download the POI information from the USB stick. All POIs found are saved even if they are in multiple folders.

Subfolders can also be created to organize the POIs into categories, for example, “F:\myPOIs \Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”

If the message is dismissed or ignored, no POI information is downloaded. This prompt will not reoccur for the current ignition cycle.

When the system is finished downloading, a pop-up displays asking to specify a category for the new POIs, if desired.

Importing and Overwriting Categories

When POIs are found on a media device, the date of the file is examined and compared to the date for the files already in the system. If the file being downloaded is newer than the one on the system, that particular category of POIs is overwritten. Any other POIs that had previously been saved in other categories are not affected.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The position of the vehicle is determined by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interference such as the satellite condition, road configuration, condition of the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can affect the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.

Page 78

Black plate (77,1)

Buick IntelliLink Infotainment System (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-

7639731) - 2015 - CRC - 10/9/14

The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by GPS Satellites. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. See Navigation Symbols on page 54.

This system might not be available or interference can occur if any of the following are true:

Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large trucks, or a tunnel.

Satellites are being repaired or improved.

For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see

Problems with Route Guidance on page 78 and If the System Needs Service on page 78.

Vehicle Positioning

At times, the position of the vehicle on the map could be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:

The road system has changed.

The vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow.

The vehicle is traveling on winding roads or long straight roads.

The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large vehicle.

The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.

The vehicle has been transferred by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.

The current position calibration is set incorrectly.

The vehicle is traveling at high speed.

Infotainment System 77

The vehicle changes directions more than once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking lot.

The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a parking lot, garage, or a lot with a roof.

The GPS signal is not received.

A roof carrier is installed on the vehicle.

Tire chains have been installed.

The tires are replaced or worn.

The tire pressure for the tires is incorrect.

This is the first navigation use after the map data is updated.

The 12-volt battery is disconnected for several days.

The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where driving is at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.

Problems with Route Guidance

Inappropriate route guidance can occur under one or more of the following conditions:

The turn was not made on the road indicated.

Route guidance might not be available when using automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.

The route might not be changed when using automatic rerouting.

There is no route guidance when turning at an intersection.

Plural names of places might be announced occasionally.

It could take a long time to operate automatic rerouting during high-speed driving.

Automatic rerouting might display a route returning to the set waypoint if heading for a destination without passing through a set waypoint.

The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given.

Some routes might not be searched.

The route to the destination might not be shown if there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed in the map data. See Maps on page 54.

To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the map, park with the vehicle running for two to five minutes, until the vehicle position updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in a location that is safe and has a clear view of the sky and away from large obstructions.

If the System Needs Service

If the navigation system needs service and the steps listed here have been followed but there are still problems, see Problems with Route Guidance on page 78.

Map Data Updates

The map data in the vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when the vehicle was produced. The map data is updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed.

For questions about the operation of the navigation system or the update process, contact the GM Nav Disc Center toll-free phone number, 1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472) or go to the center ’s website, www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are needed, call the GM Nav Disc Center or order online.

Infotainment System 79

To order, have the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available. This helps the center make sure that the correct and most up-to-date map data for the vehicle is received. See “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in the owner manual.

Database Coverage Explanations

Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system. As the map data is updated, more detail can become available for areas that previously had limited detail. See Map Data Updates on page 78.

Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows for hands-free operation within the navigation, audio, phone, and weather applications. This feature can be started by pressing either

the

g button on the steering wheel

g on the touchscreen display.

However, not all features within these areas are supported by voice commands. Generally, only complex tasks that require multiple manual interactions to complete are supported by voice commands.

For example, tasks that take more than one or two button presses such as selecting a song or artist to play from a media device would be supported by voice commands. Other tasks, like adjusting the volume or seeking up or down, are audio features that are easily performed by pressing one or two buttons, and are not supported by voice commands.

In general there are flexible ways to speak commands for completing the tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad, can be completed in a single command. If the task takes more than one command to complete, the first command would be to indicate the kind of task to be performed, like “Navigation Destination Entry.” The system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialog to enter the necessary information. For example, if a destination for route guidance is needed, say “Navigation” or “Destination Entry.”

Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” in the owner manual.

Using Voice Recognition

Voice recognition becomes available once the system has been initialized. This begins when the ignition is turned on. Initialization may take a few moments.

Prompts and Screen Displays

While a voice recognition session is active, there will be corresponding buttons on screens displayed. Manual interaction in the voice recognition session is permitted. Interaction during a voice session may be completed entirely using voice commands, or some selections may expedite a session. If a selection is made using a manual control, the dialog will progress in the same way as if the selection was made through a voice command. Once the system is able to complete the task, or the session is terminated, the voice recognition dialog stops.

An example of this type of manual intervention is pressing on an entry of a displayed number list instead of speaking the number associated with the entry desired.

Infotainment System 81

Usually Phone and Audio commands can be spoken in a single command.

For example, “Call Dave Smith at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or song name, or “Tune to” followed by the radio station number.

Navigation destinations are too complex for a single command. First, state a command that explains the type of destination needed, such as I want directions to an “Address,” “Navigate to an intersection,” “I need to find a Place of Interest or POI,” or “Directions to a Contact.” The system responds with requesting more details. After saying “Place of Interest,” only major chains are available by name. Chains are businesses with at least 20 locations. For other POIs, say the name of a category like “Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or “Hospitals.”

Most languages do not support natural language commands in sentence form. For those languages, use direct commands like the examples shown on the display.

There is no need to memorize specific command words. Direct commands might be more clearly understood by the system. An example of a direct command would be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of the screens while a voice session is active. If “Phone” or “Phone Commands,” is stated, the system understands that a phone call is requested and will respond with questions until enough details are gathered.

If the phone number has been saved with a name and a place, the direct command should include both, for example “Call Dave Smith at work.”

Using Voice Recognition for List Options

When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will ask to confirm or select an option from that list. A selection can be made by manually selecting the item, or by speaking the line number for the item to select.

When a screen contains a list, there may be options that are available but not displayed. The list on a voice recognition screen functions the same as a list on other screens. Scrolling or flinging can be used to help display other entries from the list.

Manually scrolling or paging the list on a screen during a voice recognition session suspends the current voice recognition event and plays the prompt “Make your selection from the list using the

manual controls, press the faceplate, or press the Back screen button to try again.”

q BACK on

If manual selection takes more than 15 seconds, the session terminates and prompts that it has timed out. The screen returns to the screen where voice recognition was initiated.

The Back Command

Say “Back” or press faceplate, or press the Back screen button to go to the previous screen.

If in voice recognition, and “Back” is stated all the way through to the initial screen, then “Back” is stated one more time, the voice recognition session will cancel.

Handling Large Amounts of Media Content

It is expected that large amounts of media content will be brought into the vehicle. It may be necessary to handle large amounts of media content in a different way than smaller amounts of media.

The system may limit the options of voice recognition by not allowing selection of song titles by voice at the highest level if the number of songs exceeds the maximum limit.

Voice command option changes through media content limits are:

Song files including other individual files of all media types such as audiobook chapters, podcast episodes, and videos.

Album type folders including types such as albums and audiobooks.

There are no restrictions if the number of song files and albums is less than 4,000. When the number of song files connected to the system is between 4,000 and 8,000, the content cannot be accessed directly with one command like “Play <song name>”

Page 86

Buick IntelliLink Infotainment System (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-

7639731) - 2015 - CRC - 10/9/14

Infotainment System 85

The restriction is that the command “Play Song” must be spoken first; the system will then ask for the song name. The reply command would be to say the name of the song to play.

Similar limits exist for album content. If there are more than 4,000 albums, but less than 8,000, the content cannot be accessed directly with one command like, “Play <album name>” The command “Play Album” must first be spoken; the system will then ask for the album name. The reply would be to say the name of the album to play.

Once the number of songs has exceeded approximately 8,000, there is no support for accessing the songs directly through voice commands. There will still be access to the media content by using commands for playlists, artists, and genres.

The access commands for playlists, artists, and genres are prohibited after the number of this type of media exceeds 4,000.

The system will provide feedback the first time voice recognition is initiated if it has become apparent that any of these limits are reached during a device initializing process.

Voice Recognition for Navigation

Bluetooth Phone/ Devices

Bluetooth (Overview)

The Bluetooth-capable system can interact with many cell phones, allowing:

Placement and receipt of calls in a hands-free mode.

Sharing of the cell phone’s address book or contact list with the vehicle.

To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked:

Become familiar with the features of the cell phone. Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries. If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.

Review the controls and operation of the infotainment system.

Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle. The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section.

Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The infotainment system and voice recognition are used to control the system. The system can be used while in ON/RUN or ACC/ ACCESSORY. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions and not all phones work with the Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information about compatible phones.
