Acquiring Signal: Radio is

No XM Signal: Reception is blocked. Move the vehicle into open sky.

Radio Reception

Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as cell phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet.

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 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

SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast to coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, 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.

Cellular Phone Usage

Cellular phone usage can cause interference with the vehicle's radio.

delivers the correct album, artist name, genres, and cover art on the screen. If information is missing, Gracenote will fill it in.

Searching Music Library Using Voice Recognition

Voice Recognition: Gracenote

improves music search and navigation by identifying bands, artists, and albums names that may be hard to pronounce, irregular spellings, and nicknames. For example, Gracenote helps the system understand artist names like “INXS” or “Mötley Crüe.” It also allows the use of names like: “The Boss,” “G.N.R,” “The Fab Four,” and thousands of other famous artist nicknames as voice commands to access music. See Voice Recognition on page 71.

Normalization: If equipped, normalization helps to improve the voice recognition accuracy for titles that sound similar. It also helps group long lists of genres into 10 common genres. For example, there

may be multiple rock genres in the media library; normalization will group all those into one rock Genre. Normalization default is off.

To turn Normalization on:

1. Press CONFIG or Config on the Home Page.

2. Press Radio Settings, then press Gracenote Options.

3. Press Normalization to turn on or off.

Cover Art: The Gracenote embedded database contains cover art or album art information for the music on the USB device. If the music is recognized by Gracenote and does have cover art, Gracenote

will use the cover art found in the embedded database and display it on the radio. User predefined cover art will always be used first. If no cover art is found Gracenote will use generic Genre graphics or images of artists.

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

Black plate (69,1)

Buick Verano Infotainment System - 2013 - CRC 2nd Edition - 7/30/12

can affect the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.

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 51.

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 70 and If the System Needs Service on page 70.

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 69

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 51.

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 obstruction.

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 70.

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 a new Map Update online. To order map data, have the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification

Black plate (71,1)

Buick Verano Infotainment System - 2013 - CRC 2nd Edition - 7/30/12

Infotainment System 71

Number (VIN) available. See “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in the owner manual.

After receiving the updated map data, see Maps on page 51.

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 70.

Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of the infotainment system features.

Voice recognition can be used when the radio is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” in the owner manual. The system maintains a minimum volume level.

Using Voice Recognition

1. Press b / g on the steering

wheel. The audio system mutes. A voice prompt states, “Please say a command.” Wait until the tone is heard before speaking.

If there is no tone, make sure that the volume is turned up.

While voice recognition is active, the system displays a

in the top right of the screen.

g symbol

2. Clearly speak one of the commands listed later in this section.

Press

b / g twice on the steering

wheel to skip the voice prompt messages.

Canceling Voice Recognition

1. Press and release $ / i on the steering wheel control to cancel a command, if the system response does not match the voice command, or say “Goodbye” or “Cancel.”

2. The system replies, “Goodbye.”

Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands

When multiple commands are available, choose the command that works best for you.

Black plate (72,1)

Buick Verano Infotainment System - 2013 - CRC 2nd Edition - 7/30/12

72 Infotainment System

Words in parentheses are optional. For example, for the command “Tune FM (frequency),” saying “Tune FM

87.7” or “Tune FM” are both valid commands.

When the command is recognized, the system will either perform the function or ask to confirm the choice.

When the system does not recognize the command, the system says “pardon.”

If experiencing difficulty with the system recognizing a command, confirm that the command is correct. Try saying the command clearly or wait for a brief moment after the tone.

Background noise such as a climate control fan positioned on high, open windows, and very loud outside noises, even if the windows are closed, can cause voice commands to be misunderstood.

The system is able to recognize commands in different languages, such as English, Canadian French, and Spanish. The system only recognizes commands based on the language selected.

To increase or decrease the voice volume during a voice recognition session, turn the volume knob of the radio, or press the volume steering wheel control. If the volume is adjusted during a voice recognition session, a Volume bar appears on the screen showing the voice volume level as it is being adjusted. This also changes the volume of the guidance prompts.

When using navigation commands, take the time to become familiar with the address. Long delays when giving the address can result in the system not recognizing the address or routing to different location than intended.

When providing the house number portion of the address, the system recognizes both digit format and numerical text. An example would be to say, “3-0-0-0-1” or “Thirty Thousand One.”

If the system provides destination in another country on several attempts, say the “Change Country” command and say the country of interest. The country default is the United States. To enter a destination in Canada or Mexico, the country will first have to be changed in the system.

Voice Recognition Help

To enter the help playback session, clearly speak one of the help commands.

Help: The system plays back more specific help commands such as Radio Settings for the user to choose from.
