Introduction

This User Manual describes how to use the
Cadillac BLS Infotainment System. The
system is especially designed for the cabin
space in the Cadillac BLS.

This manual covers all the standard and
optional Infotainment equipment that can be
fitted in your car. There may be some differ­ences between markets and to meet
national legal requirements.

This manual contains important warning
texts that must always be observed:

WARNING

WARNING texts warn against the danger
of injury if the specified instructions are
not followed.

NOTICE

NOTICE texts warn of potential damage
to your car if the recommendations are
not followed.

USER TIP

USER TIP texts provide you, the reader,
with useful information about the use and
function of the system.

We recommend that you read the appropri­ate sections of this manual before using the
system for the first time and that you keep
this manual in the car for future reference.

For information regarding warranty condi­tions, refer to the Warranty and Service
Book supplied with your car.

Since the policy at Cadillac is one of contin­ual improvement, we retain the right to
incorporate modifications and to alter spec­ifications during production without prior
notice.

3 Asterisk means: equipment not fitted in all
cars (can depend on model variant, engine
variant, market specification, options or
accessories).

If you have any queries concerning your car,
its equipment, the warranty conditions or
the like, an authorised Cadillac dealer will
be pleased to help.

Best wishes,
Cadillac

All work on the Infotainment system must be car­ried out by a workshop. We recommend that you
contact an authorised Cadillac workshop.

Cadillac does not accept liability for any damage
caused by the fitting of spare parts, exchange
parts or accessories that are not approved by
Cadillac.

The specifications, design particulars and illus­trations included in the manual are not binding.

Installation/
replacement

If you wish to install any of the units at a later
date or wish to transfer a unit to another car,
contact a Cadillac dealer to prevent missing
or defective functionality.

Cleaning the units

Wipe the DIC-display (Driver Information
Center) and the Audio System display clean
with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.

NOTICE

• Spraying cleaner or other fluid directly
onto the units can damage the
mechanical parts.

• Do not touch or point at the displays
with sharp or pointed objects as this
can cause scratches.

• Do not knock or jolt the units as this
can damage them.

Changing language

Change the menu text and voice recognition
language by:

1 Turn on the ignition.
2 Press the steering wheel controls or

until

display.

3 Hold the SET button depressed until a

chime is heard.

4 Press or until

Antennas 3

The audio system has two antennas incor­porated in the rear window, one for FM and
one for AM.

NOTICE

Refrain from placing hard or sharp
objects on the parcel shelf, to avoid
damaging the antenna wires (the top five
wires in the rear window).

USER TIP

• Roof loads can negatively affect tele­communication and GPS reception.

• If sun film is fitted to the rear window,
it must be the pure plastic variety, free
of metals, to maintain good radio
reception.

• Multipath propagation - Multipath prop-

agation occurs when radio waves from an
FM transmitter are reflected by a large
building, or similar, causing them to arrive
slightly later than the direct waves. This
can create interference to radio reception.
See also "Diversity antenna".

• Diversity antenna 3 - To improve radio

reception when the topography is prob­lematic, a second FM antenna (diversity
antenna) can be fitted in the rear window.
We recommend that you contact a Cadil­lac dealer.

• Shadow effect - Because FM radio

waves travel in straight lines from the
transmitter, a shadow effect can occur
when tall buildings or hills obstruct the
propagation path from the transmitter to
the car.

• Cross modulation - If the radio is tuned

to a weak transmitter in the vicinity of a
stronger one, the car’s antenna will
receive a signal from both. Such interfer­ence may cause the unwanted broadcast
to be heard faintly in the background.

• Radio waves, FM/AM - FM radio waves

radiate in straight lines from the transmit­ter. Because such waves do not follow the
curvature of the Earth, their strength
becomes weaker the further they travel.
That is why a large number of transmitters
is needed to provide good reception.
AM waves, on the other hand, are
reflected off the ionosphere, thus greatly
extending their range.

• Sources of FM interference - Interfer-

ence to FM reception can be caused by
the electrical systems in other vehicles,
particularly if the signal from the transmit­ter is weak.

• Sources of AM interference - AM recep-

tion is prone to interference, e.g. from
electrical systems in other vehicles, high­tension power lines and lightning.

Programme type ALARM!

The ALM programme type is always acti­vated. It is used by public authorities and
emergency services to broadcast informa­tion regarding major incidents and disas­ters. PTY ALM broadcasts are given highest
priority and these will therefore interrupt
other radio broadcasts or CD playback.

The display shows

Safety rules

Follow the safety rules for safe use of the
navigation system.

WARNING

• Carefully read the User Manual before
you start to use the navigation system
and follow the instructions in the User
Manual.

• Cadillac is not responsible for prob­lems or accidents caused by non­compliance with the User Manual
instructions.

• The use of the navigation system

does not free the driver from respon­sibility. It is more important to follow
traffic regulations than the suggested
route!

• Traffic regulations and the current traf-

fic situation always take precedence
over the directions provided by the
navigation system. The driver must
observe the highway code applicable
to that place.

• Check that the volume of the system is
not so high that it drowns out external
sound. If you cannot hear external
sounds then your reaction time in
certain traffic situations will deterio­rate, which could cause an accident.

WARNING

WARNING

• Do not poke into the disc tray with
fingers and foreign objects as this can
cause both personal injury and
damage to the unit.

• Switch off the power immediately and
contact a workshop if the unit starts to
emit smoke or unusual smells. We
recommend that you contact an
authorised Cadillac workshop.

• Never try to dismantle or change the
navigation equipment as this can
cause both personal injury and
damage to the unit.

Introduction

Getting started

Carefully read the User Manual before you
start to use the navigation system and follow
the instructions in the User Manual.

Remember, if you are distracted while driv­ing you can cause an accident and you and
others may be injured or killed. Before using
this system, read the manual and learn how
it works. Always concentrate first and fore­most on driving by keeping your eyes on the
road and hands on the steering wheel. Read
the manual for more information.

Warning box

Every fiftieth time the car is started and the
navigation system is activated a warning
box will be displayed.

select

OK to load information from the

map-DVD.

OK is not selected, all the display but-

tons will be available except NAV (Nav­igation) and DEST (Destination). Press

How the navigation system
works

The integrated navigation system uses the
Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS
uses signals from satellites that orbit the
earth.

The car’s electronics incorporate direction
and speed sensors that, along with GPS
and the digital maps, are used to calculate
the position of the vehicle.

Reception of GPS signals can be disrupted
and is sometimes not possible at all:

– between high-rise buildings and in park-

ing garages.

– when travelling through tunnels, along

tree-lined alleys or between high-sided
vehicles,

– during thunderstorms or very heavy

precipitation,

– if the GPS antenna is blocked by a roof

load,

– if the satellites are switched off for main-

tenance or repairs.

NOTICE

Using the navigation system at extremely
high or low temperatures can damage the
unit.

The unit can also be damaged by power­ful vibrations.

34 Cadillac BLS Navigation System

The digital road maps

In order to plan a route, the navigation
system not only needs to know the position
of the car but also requires a digital road
map of the destination and relevant roads.
The digital map for Europe is stored on two
DVD discs.

Due to local conditions and/or incomplete
data, route calculation errors may arise. The
calculated route may differ from actual con­ditions since the data on the DVD discs
dates from when the digital road maps were
created.

USER TIP

We recommend that you always use the
current editions of the digital maps for
navigation.

We recommend that you contact a
Cadillac dealer for updated road maps.

Traffic information

The navigation system receives traffic infor­mation via RDS/TMC. This traffic informa­tion can be presented on the screen and
used during route calculation.

One condition in order for the navigation
system to receive traffic information is that
there is reception of an RDS/TMC station.

When the active radio station transmits, a
TMC indication on the TMC tab comes on.

USER TIP

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a
analogue channel for coded traffic
announcements, which are not broadcast
on the radio. The codes are translated
and text messages regarding the incident
displayed.

Cadillac is not responsible for the content
of TMC information.

FAQ

• The map doesn’t show what’s actually
there, why? Due to continuous construc-

tion work, changes to the road network
and suchlike, the digital maps are not
always complete. For more information,
contact your Cadillac dealer.

• The position of the car is incorrect
after it having been towed or transpor­ted, why? If the car has been transpor-

ted, such as on a train or ferry, or if GPS
reception has not been possible, it can
take up to 30 minutes to calculate the
position of the car.

• The system doesn’t calculate the
quickest/shortest route, why? Expe-

rience and local knowledge can someti­mes produce a better route than that
calculated by the system.

• The position of the car on the map is
wrong, why? GPS reception can be dis-

rupted. Local conditions and/or incom­plete data can cause calculation errors.

• The position of the car on the map is
wrong after the battery is reconnected,
why? If the power supply to the GPS

antenna has been cut, it may take up to 30
minutes before the system can receive
GPS signals and calculate the correct
position of the car.

• The position of the car on the map is
wrong after the tyres have been chan­ged, why? The system automatically

recalibrates after a tyre change. The time
required for this varies depending on the
type of road and speed of the car.

• Do I need to start the car to use the
navigation system? No, you only need

to insert the key.

• The traffic information is incorrect,
why? Cadillac is not responsible for the

content of TMC information.

76 Cadillac BLS Navigation System

Introduction

Voice recognition means that the audio nav­igation system can be operated with the
help of voice commands.

Voice recognition offers many advantages.
Most importantly, it requires less attention
than conventional controls allowing the
driver to concentrate on the traffic.

A map DVD must be loaded and the naviga­tion system activated in order for voice rec­ognition to be used.

Activating voice recognition

The voice recognition system is activated by
pressing the PTT button on the steering
wheel. Any audio source is muted. A tone
indicates that the system is listening and
ready to receive a voice command.

Some sounds will still be audible after the
voice recognition system has been acti­vated for reasons of safety.

Press the PTT button to end the voice ses­sion.

PTT button (PTT=Push-To-Talk)

Voice commands

When you give a voice command, remem­ber to look forward and speak clearly at a
normal speed. A voice command can con­sist of one word or several consecutive
words.

After the tone that indicates the system is
ready you have 7 seconds to give a voice
command.

If you do not give a voice command during
the time the system is listening, the system
will request a voice command. The voice
session will be ended if you do not give a
voice command.

The voice recognition system is sensitive to
individual pronunciation, e.g. different dia­lects, and cannot be taught to understand
different pronunciations. The system alerts
you to voice commands it does not recog­nise.

Alternative voice commands

There are alternative voice commands that
can be used if the system has difficulty in
understanding a particular voice command.
Alternative commands are written with /
between, e.g. CD / Disc, i.e. you can choose
to say either CD or Disc. Commands that
can be omitted are written inside braces,
e.g. Radio [band] [select] FM, i.e. you can
choose to say Radio band FM, Radio select
FM or Radio FM.

Mobile phones and
communication radio 3

When fitting and using mobile phones, the
installation instructions issued by Cadillac
and the phone manufacturer must follow the
EU Directive 95/54/EC.

Recommended conditions for use without
malfunctions:

1 Professionally fitted outside antenna, so

that maximum range is achieved.
2 Maximum transmitter output 10 W.
3 Fitting the phone in a suitable location.

Obtain advice when it comes to the installa­tion location for the outside antenna and the
apparatus holder respectively, as well as for
the possibilities of using apparatus with
transmitter output exceeding 10 W. We rec­ommend that you contact an authorised
Cadillac workshop. There you can find con­sole accessories and different installation
kits that are fitted in the prescribed manner.

The use of a handsfree system without out­side antenna for the mobile phone stand­ards GSM 900/1800/1900 must only take
place if the maximum transmitter output of
the mobile phone does not exceed 2 watts
for GSM 900 or otherwise 1 watt. The oper­ating instructions from the manufacturer of
the mobile phone and the handsfree system
must always be followed.

For safety reasons we recommend that you
do not use the phone while driving. Even if
you use handsfree your attention may be
drawn away from the traffic. Follow the legal
provisions specific to the country in ques­tion.

WARNING

The use of mobile phones and communi­cation radio in the car’s cabin without
outside antenna could lead to malfunc­tions in the car’s electronics if the instruc­tions above are not followed.

Mobile phones that do not fulfil the above
standards and the radio apparatus must
only be used with an antenna that is fitted
on the outside of the car.

USER TIP

Roof loads can adversely affect telecom­munication.

Voice recognition

Voice recognition means that a Bluetooth
Universal Handsfree Phone can be oper­ated using voice commands.

Voice recognition offers many advantages.
Most importantly, it requires less attention
than conventional controls allowing the
driver to concentrate on the traffic.

USER TIP

It is not possible to use voice recognition
if the navigation system is switched off.

Activating voice recognition

The voice recognition system is activated
with a press on the PTT button in the steer­ing wheel. Any audio source mutes and

Voice is shown on the DIC display. A tone

indicates that the system is listening and is
ready to receive a voice command. If the car
is equipped with a navigation system then
you must say TELEPHONE to access the
phone’s voice recognition.

For safety reasons, some sounds will still be
heard while the voice recognition system is
activated. Similarly, messages that are
important from a safety aspect will be dis­played on the DIC display.

Press the PTT button to end the voice ses­sion.

PTT button (PTT = Push-To-Talk)

USER TIP

Voice commands cannot be given during
a phone conversation. Pressing the PTT
button during a call switches off or acti­vates the phone microphone in the
phone.

Voice sessions are interrupted by incom­ing calls.

Voice feedback

To facilitate the use of voice recognition, the
system provides feedback for voice com­mands.

Feedback is given via the audio system as
voice feedback or audio feedback.

Cancel the current voice feedback and go
directly to the next voice command by
pressing the CLR button.

Volume

The volume of the voice and audio feedback
can be adjusted with the volume controls on
the steering wheel and the VOL knob.

Nametags

You can save a telephone number together
with a nametag, for example, a name, for
speed dialling.

Infotainment460M09.book Page 94 Monday, March 31, 2008 11:15 AM

Voice commands

The voice recognition system works best in
a quiet environment. Background noise can
make it difficult for the system to understand
a voice command. Speak clearly and at a
normal pace while facing straight ahead. A
voice command can consist of one word or
several words in succession.

After the tone that indicates the system is
ready you have 7 seconds to give a voice
command.

If you do not give a voice command during
the time the system is listening, the system
will request a voice command. The voice
session will be ended if you do not give a
voice command.

The voice recognition system is sensitive to
individual pronunciation, e.g. different dia­lects, and cannot be taught to understand
different pronunciations. The system alerts
you to voice commands it does not recog­nise.

General commands

These commands can always be used while
voice recognition is active, except when the
system is waiting for a nametag.

Voice command Explanation

• HELP Request informa­tion on how to pro­ceed with a voice
session.

• CANCEL End the current
voice session.

Digits and characters

Verbally enter the digits in the telephone
number one by one or in a group of three
digits for example. If you enter an incorrect
digit and use the voice command CHANGE
then the last entered group of digits is
deleted. Digits and characters that can be
entered verbally are shown on the SID dis­play.

Voice command Characters

• ZERO The digit 0

• 1-9 The digits 1-9

•PLUS +

Example of voice command
Dialling a number

1 Press the PTT button. Wait for the tone.
2 Say CALL. Wait for "NAME OR

FIVE, FOUR" pause "TWO, SEVEN,
THREE" pause "EIGHT, ONE, ONE".

4 The system repeats the phone number

at each pause.

5Say CALL.

"THE NUMBER, PLEASE!".

4 Say the telephone number. The system

Other commands

Voice command Explanation

• CALL The system asks for the name or tele­phone number. The following com­mands can be used:

• NAME - To dial a nametag.

• NUMBER - To state a telephone

number. Verbally enter a telephone
number, preferably in groups of
three digits. Once a digit has been
entered verbally the following com­mands can be used:

• CHANGE - Deletes the last group
of numbers spoken in.

• DELETE - Deletes all numbers
spoken in.

• CALL - Dials the number.

• REDIAL Dials that last number called.

• SAVE Save a number together with a name­tag for speed dialling.

• DELETE Deletes a nametag. The system asks

• PHONEBOOK All available nametags are read out
along with their associated phone
numbers. The following commands
can be used in the pause between
nametags:

• DELETE - Delete nametag.

• CALL - Call the nametag.
If a name in the phone book has an

associated nametag, the name is dis­played on the DIC display instead of
the number.

USER TIP

• The phone number will be displayed on the DIC display when
the system prompts you to say YES or NO by way of confirma­tion, or following REDIAL, SAVE CALL or DELETE. If the
phone number is stored in the phone book, the name associ­ated with this number will be shown instead.

• The voice recognition catalogue is independent of the phone
book. Nametags are not stored on the SIM card.
