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.

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.
For example, if the current vehicle
location is in Detroit MI and the

Multiple Matches

.

If the search results in multiple
matches, a list of matches is
shown.

.

Address search results are
grouped by result type, in the
order of Full Addresses, States,
Cities, Intersections, and
Streets. If no results are found in
a particular group, that group is
not shown. 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
that the closest match result will
be at the top.

.

Address searches can be sorted
by Confidence, Distance,
or Alphabetical order.

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.
For example, when entering an
address, the system attempts to do
a full match on the entire string. If it
does not find a match, the house
number is then considered an
optional term and the system
attempts to find the street and city
name. The prefix and suffix of street
names are also treated as optional
terms. The search is first done by
trying to match the prefix and/or
suffix. If there is no match found,
these terms are removed from the
search to make the search more
generic.

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 either a
USB stick or SD card.

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.”

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 on page 77.

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 on
page 99 and If the System Needs
Service on page 99.

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 on page 76.

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 with
Route Guidance on page 99.

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. This helps the center
make sure that the correct and most
up-to-date map data for the vehicle
is received. 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 on
page 100.

Voice Recognition

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

the

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.
