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 (U.S. and
Canada only), 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.

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
includes both 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 for 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 screen 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, 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 filter buttons along the
top of the screen. 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 select 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 out 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.
State information does not have
to be included in the search field
if entering an address that is
located in the same state.
.
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
nearby city in the current state.
The system is also capable of
recognizing address formats
according to other regions.
If a destination address or location
being entered is outside of the
country, the country abbreviation
must be added after the address.
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.
Search in Process
Touch the Search button, the results
screen displays with the activity
indicator. There is a non-selectable
List item in the list that says
“Searching” to indicate that it is in
process.
Once the results are found, the
correct list screen will display.
No Results Found
If no results are found from an
entered search term, a popup
displays indicating there are no
results found. Touch the OK screen
button to return to the
keyboard view.

Creating and Downloading
Predefined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the POIs already
stored in the Infotainment system,
predefined POIs can be created.
While creating a predefined POI, the
GPS coordinates for longitude and
latitude of the POI’s location and a
descriptive name will need to be
entered.
After creating the predefined POIs,
they can be downloaded to the
infotainment system from a USB
stick.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.
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 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 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.
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
connected USB device, the same
alert is used to indicate that
locations have been found and they
can be downloaded. If there is
already content in the vehicle
Contacts List, the system prompts if
the stored content should be
overwritten. Select Save to
overwrite the existing Contacts
information. Select Cancel to abort
the import of information.

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 NavigationSymbols 0 61.
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 83
and If the System Needs
Service 0 83.
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.
.
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 has been
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 0 61.
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 withRoute Guidance 0 83.
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.
To order, have the vehicle’s Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
available to ensure the correct and
most up-to-date map data for the
vehicle is sent. 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 0 84.
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.
or
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 button touch 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 touching 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 should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“ NavigationDestination 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, try
stating a One Shot command, such
as “Navigate to Address one two
three Main Street, Lansing
Michigan.” 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 don’t work, try saying,
“Navigate to Place of Interest” or
“Navigate to Address” and the
system will for 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 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.
1. Touch
g on the steering wheel
control to activate voice
recognition, or touch
infotainment touchscreen on
the center stack.
.
If voice recognition is
started from the steering
wheel control, the
instrument cluster displays
the selections and visual
dialog content.
.
If voice recognition is
started from the
infotainment touchscreen ,
the selections and visual
dialog content are
displayed on both the
center stack display and the
instrument cluster display.
2. The audio system mutes and
the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.
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
again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, press
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.
g again and the
g
.
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 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 touching on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home screen button.
Touching this button will
terminate the voice recognition
session.
.
Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
.
Press
i on the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
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 screen
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 waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
wait for the beep.
.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
g again and
g again.
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”
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.”
Some languages support complete
destination requests in a single
command. If your language
Voice Recognition87
supports it, try stating a One Shot
command such as, “Navigate to
Address one two three Main Street,
Lansing Michigan.” 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 come back and ask for
details of your destination.
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, touch the Back
screen button to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The screen returns back to the
screen where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch 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.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
screen and the help prompt for the
screen 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 touchscreen. Touch the
Dismiss button to make the pop-up
go away.
Touching
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
g while the help prompt is

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>.”
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.
