when a hand approaches the
screen. When the hand is removed,
these features fade. Proximity
sensing can be turned Off in the
Settings applications in the Display
menu options.

Touchpad

The touchpad is integrated into the
center console of the vehicle, in

console mounted remote controller
instead of a touch screen.

The touchpad remote controller has
a BACK button.

3 BACK : Press to return to the

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

Benefits of using the touchpad:

.

.

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

.

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

.

Haptic feedback is felt on the
fingertips while the cursor is
moving across the screen.

.

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

.

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

Gestures

Use a single finger on the touchpad
to move the highlight and select
buttons on the screen.

Use the two finger gesture to control
the features on a sourced area. For

USB Port 0 27,

and Using the Navigation

System 0 53.

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

The Handwriting Recognition screen
is split into four major zones:

.

Drawing Pad

.

Character Entry Field

.

List of Possible Characters

.

Option Settings

.

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 screen. The Character
Entry section can look different
depending on which feature is
being used. When finished with
the input, press and hold using
two fingers to exit character

Introduction 9

recognition and confirm the
input, or press 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 select 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
screen while an audio response
is triggered.

.

Option Settings — This section
is an area on the right side of
the Character Recognition
screen. 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.

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
screen 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, 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.

10 Introduction

Audio Feedback : Audio feedback

is an audible response to an action
that has occurred while using the
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.

ABC/abc (Character Set) : Select
from the touch screen to view the
available character sets and select
to change. Some regions may not
support multiple character sets. This
button also displays the upper or
lower case characters that are
currently active in a mixed
case mode.

If mixed case characters mode is
supported, press

Q to toggle

between upper and lower case.

Interacting with the System

There are two ways to interact with
the system:

.

Highlight Elements — The
highlight element works like a
cursor but is optimized for the
vehicle by snapping from
element to element available on
the screen. Not all of the
interactive elements of the
touchscreen are available from
the touchpad. While moving from
element to element, a haptic
bump vibration is felt.

Touch the touchpad to select or
activate a currently highlighted
object. A click will be felt to
confirm the action was
performed.

.

Multi-touch Gestures — The
touchpad has hot-key features
for some of the main
applications and lists. These are
available using two fingers
across the surface of the
touchpad.

A few examples using
multi-touch gestures:

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

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.
