INTRODUCTION 7

the infotainment system by using a
console mounted remote controller
instead of the infotainment display.

Gestures

3 BACK : Press to return to the

previous screen. Press and hold to
return to the main menu.

Benefits of using the touchpad:

.

Quick gestures to cycle through
media and radio sources or seek to
the next station or song.

.

Handwriting recognition for
quicker entry of address or places
of interest.

.

Control of the system while the
arm is resting on the console.

.

Once using the touchpad becomes
more familiar, the dependence on
looking at the infotainment
display may decrease.

.

The three finger gestures will help
give a quicker interaction while
raising and lowering the favorites
bar, and paging between them.

Use a single finger on the touchpad to
move the highlight and select options
on the infotainment display.

Use the two finger gesture to control
the features on a sourced area. For
example, while in a list, move two
fingers up and down on the touchpad
to scroll a list.

Use the three finger gesture to operate
favorites.

Other examples for using the hand
gestures are explained later in this
section. See AM-FM Radio 0 16, USB

Port 0 23, and Using the Navigation
System 0 48.

Character Recognition

Character Recognition or Handwriting
Recognition is offered as an
alternative to using a keyboard. This
method of character input allows the
drawing of characters instead of
picking them out from the keyboard.
It is designed to allow quick and
smooth character entry.

After the system displays the first
drawn character with audio feedback,
the drawing of the next character can

CT6 Cadillac User Experience (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-11292518) -
2018 - crc - 3/1/17

8 INTRODUCTION

begin. Check the list next to the drawn
character if the system announces it
incorrectly. Use the scroll bar up or
down to select the correct one.

Handwriting Recognition has two
main modes:

.

Upper Case: Used for Destination
Entry.

.

Mixed Case: Used for all other
character entry modes.

Touch the globe option from the
alpha-numeric keyboard to open the
Handwriting Recognition display.
Another way is to use the two finger
gesture by swiping to the left on a
keyboard display or in a list view.

The Handwriting Recognition screen
is split into four major zones:

.

Drawing Pad — Draw a character
in the display area. This is where
the drawing can be seen on the
touchpad.

When the first character is
complete, a representation of that
character can be seen, as well as
an audible response. If the

character is correct, the next
character can be started
immediately.

‐ Delete the last entered character

by drawing a line across the
character field.

‐ To create a space, draw a line

from left to right across the
character field.

.

Character Entry Field — This
section is an area across the top of
the display. The Character Entry
section can look different
depending on which feature is
being used. When finished with
the input, touch and hold using
two fingers to exit character
recognition and confirm the input,
or touch with two fingers to exit
and return to the keyboard.

.

List of Possible Characters —

The best guess character will be at
the top of the list. If character
recognition displays the incorrect
character, look at this list and see
if the desired character is available
to select. Move the highlight up or
down the list using two fingers to
touch the desired character.

Highlighting a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section of the display while an
audio response is triggered.

.

Option Settings — This section is
an area on the right side of the
Character Recognition display.
This section will look different
depending if the recognition mode
is upper case or mixed.

Character Recognition Settings

Touch the option settings icon to
display the Character Recognition
Settings menu. Touch an option to
adjust the speed preference.

CT6 Cadillac User Experience (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-11292518) -
2018 - crc - 3/1/17

Draw Speed: The Draw Speed setting
adjusts the speed of the character
recognition feature.

For example, draw the first / of an X
on the screen. Lift the finger off the
display to finish the other side of the
X. Change the speed setting by
selecting Faster, Default, or Slower.
Depending on the selection the
amount of time allowed to draw
multiple strokes will increase or
decrease.

Character Selection Speed: The
Character Selection Speed adjusts the
overall speed of going through the
character recognition. Depending on
the selection, adjust the amount of
time allowed to draw and to pick a
correct character on the list of best
guesses. The options are Faster,
Default, and Slower.

Audio Feedback : Audio feedback is
an audible response to an action that
has occurred while using character
recognition. An example is when a
character is complete on the drawing
pad, a representation of that character
displays and an audible response is
heard. The audible response confirms
the system has identified the
character and to proceed with the
next character.

INTRODUCTION 9

ABC/abc : Touch from the
infotainment display to view the
available character sets and touch to
change. Some regions may not

supported, touch

upper and lower case.

Interacting with the System

There are two ways to interact with
the system:

Radio Reception

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

FM

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.

AM

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.

Caution

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.

Caution

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.

Multi-Band Antenna

The roof antenna is for OnStar,
SiriusXM Satellite Radio, if equipped,
and GPS (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.

Continue to touch and hold, and any
additional special characters
associated with that letter are
displayed around the current letter. To
select one of the special characters,
slide a finger left or right to adjust the

One-Shot Search

Enter a full or partial Address,
Contact, or POI into the search bar
and the system will search and display
all of the matches.

The contacts that are searched include
both the connected phone’s contacts
list and the vehicle’s contacts list.

Search Process

The process of prioritizing the search
is to help shorten the length of time
at finding the results. If there is a
100% match found when a search
type is carried out, the remaining
searches abort.

The system conducts the search in the
following order:

1. Vehicle Contacts List

2. Connected Phone Contacts List

3. POIs

4. Addresses

The Contacts are done first because
the list will be relatively short and can
be done quickly.

POIs are done next because the
amount of time it takes to search for
the average POI is consistent. The less
deviation during a search would mean
an average of less time taken.

The Addresses are last because the
standard deviation for an address
search is very large. Some address
searches are very quick, but others
may take very long. Because of this,
the address search would not be
conducted unless a good match could
not be found in either Contacts
or POIs.

Autocomplete

The autocomplete is preloaded with
all recent destinations and POI
category names. Previous POI name
searches are remembered.

If only one type of result is found, the
single type result display is shown.
Within each group, they are listed in
confidence order. This means the
highest confidence result will be at
the top.

If multiple types of matches are
found, the result list with the highest
confidence match displays.

Address and Contact matches are
shown in full width list format. The
match results will display unique
icons for full addresses, streets,
intersections, cities, states/provinces,
and countries.

POIs show in a split list format with
the map on the right displaying the
locations of the matches. The brand
icon or category icon will display for
the match results.

When a list displays, the results for a
particular type can be filtered by
touching the filters along the top of

the display. If there are no particular
results for a selected type, a message
is indicated in the list.

For example:

.

For no addresses: “No Addresses
Found Within <state/region>”

.

For no POIs: “No POIs Found
Within <75 km/50 mi/ 800 km/
500 mi>.” This distance is shown
depending on what radius is
completed and what current units
are selected.

.

For no contacts: “No Contacts
Found.”

The system performs partial searches
on contacts, so typing a first name or
last name would find a match. The
entire contact name does not need to
be entered for it to be found in a
search.

Touching a contact listed on the
results list displays the standard
contact details view to touch an item,
such as an address to start routing,
or a phone number to place a call.

Address

.

A destination can be searched by
typing the address, intersection,
highway, or freeway entrance
ramps on the keyboard. This
information is typed and displayed
in the information field. Touch the
search icon to start the search.

For example:

City: Crawford

Street: Main Rd

House #: 12334

.

State/province information does
not have to be included in the
search field if entering an address
that is located in the same state/
province.

.

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/province are
given, the system assumes a
search for something in the
current city or a nearby city in the
current state/province. The system
is also capable of recognizing
address formats according to other

Storing the POI on a USB Device

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

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 device containing
the POI information to the USB port
of the infotainment system.
A message displays prompting
whether or not to download the POI

information from the USB device. 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.

Address Book Download

If an Address Book is found on the

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.

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 0 56.

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 0 76 and If the
System Needs Service 0 77.

78 VOICE RECOGNITION

Voice Recognition

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

started by pressing
wheel or

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 a two touches 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 controls, 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,

g on the infotainment

g on the steering

can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more than
one command to complete, the first
command should 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.”

If your language supports it, tr y
stating a One-Shot command, such as
“Navigate to Address <number, street,
city, state>.” This type of destination
entry command is supported in some
languages. Another example of a
One-Shot Destination Entry command
is, “Navigate to Place Of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands do not
work, try saying, “Navigate to Place of
Interest” or “Navigate to Address” and
the system will do the rest.

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’s 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.

3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands described
in this section.

A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while

it is playing by pressing

For example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish,

press

g again and the beep

should happen right away.

There are two voice prompt modes
supported:

.

Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more information
regarding the supported actions.

.

Short prompts: The short prompts
provide simple instructions about
what can be stated.

If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.

Prompts and Infotainment Displays

While a voice recognition session is

options 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 touching an entr y of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated with
the entry desired.

Canceling Voice Recognition

.

Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit.”

recognition was initiated will

controls. The display from which
voice recognition was initiated will

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

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands

Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.

For best results:

.

Listen for the prompt and wait for
the beep before saying a command
or reply.

.

Say “Help” or look at the
infotainment display for example
commands.

.

A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is

playing by pressing

For example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish, to
speak the command without

CT6 Cadillac User Experience (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-11292518) -
2018 - crc - 3/1/17

80 VOICE RECOGNITION

waiting for the prompt to
complete, press

for the beep.

.

Speak the command naturally, not
too fast, not too slow. Use direct
commands without a lot of extra
words.

.

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

For example, “Call <name> at
work,” “Play” followed by the artist
or song name, or “Tune” 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

g again and wait

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 <number>.”
Examples of these direct commands
show on most of the displays 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 <name> 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 display functions the same
as a list on other displays. Scrolling or
flinging can be used to help display
other entries from the list.

Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display 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, touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to try again.”

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

The Back Command

Say “Back” or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to go to the
previous screen.

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

Help

Say “Help” on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how voice
recognition was initiated, the Help
pop-up will either display on the
instrument cluster or the
infotainment display. Touch Dismiss
to make the pop-up go away.
