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

Tips and Troubleshooting
IR Sensor Inoperative : Check that
the batteries are good in the remote
control. Check that the remote
Control IR Sensor is not blocked.
Aim the remote control toward the
IR Sensor being controlled. Select
the correct screen, 3 or 4.
No picture : Check that the correct
video input mode is selected. Check
that the video cable is plugged into
the jack securely.
No Sound : Check that the correct
audio input mode is selected. Check
that the audio cable is securely
plugged into the jack.
Cleaning the Video Screens
The video display screens are made
of a specially coated glass and can
be scratched or damaged by
abrasive products, solvents,
or ammonia-based window
cleaners. Clean with a soft, lint-free,
cotton cloth that has been slightly
dampened with warm water. Dry the
screens by wiping with a clean dry
cotton cloth.
Cleaning the Components
Use care when touching or cleaning
the components such as the DVD
player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for
DVD players because the lens of
the DVD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Handle CDs and DVDs carefully.
Store them in their original cases or
other protective cases and away
from direct sunlight and dust. The
DVD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD or DVD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD or DVD may not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution
mixed with water, and clean it. Make
sure the wiping process starts from
the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a
CD or DVD while handling it; this
could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs or DVDs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
It is advised to set up preferences
before setting a destination. To set a
destination, see Destination 0 71.

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 or SD card
containing the POI information to
the USB port or SD card slot 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.
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 in 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
Address Book, the system prompts
if the stored content should be
overwritten. Select Save to
overwrite the existing Address Book
information. Select Cancel to abort
the import of information.
Browsing Downloaded POIs
Access the downloaded POIs by
selecting the My POIs list item in the
POIs list.
Downloaded POIs can be edited at
a category level. These POIs can
either be deleted as an entire
category or reassigned as another
category. To edit the categories:
.
Select the EDIT button at the
main category view to edit the
POIs. EDIT buttons display next
to each category name. There is
no POI browsing in this mode;
only edit functions are available.
.
Once an action such as deleting
or reassigning has been
selected, the changes are saved
immediately.
Changing POI Categories
POI categories can be assigned to a
different category by using the same
method as assigning a category for
an Address Book entry. When
editing, the right side of the screen
displays the current category name.

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 84.
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 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 85.
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
or touch
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 two button presses 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
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.

Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.

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.
g on the
g
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.
.
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 pressing on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Press the Home screen button.
Pressing this button will
terminate the voice recognition
session.

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 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
g again.
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.
.
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.”
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.
Pressing g while the help prompt is
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.

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.
