Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
While entering the vehicle or when
turning the vehicle off, some DVD
Map Disc noise is normal.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive is important
for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features
intended to help keep your eyes on
the road and mind on the drive.
Some features may be disabled
while driving. Note that these
functions will be grayed-out.
A grayed-out function indicates it is
not available when the vehicle is
moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.
Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
control buttons on the faceplate,
and touch-sensitive screen
buttons of the navigation
system.
.
Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.
Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.
Set up your phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily with the press of a single
button or a single voice
command (for navigation
systems equipped with phone
capability).

WARNING
{
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
WARNING
{
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
.
Plan a route.
.
Select a destination using
various methods and choices.
.
Follow turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
You should always be alert and
obey traffic and roadway laws and
instructions, regardless of the
guidance from the navigation
system. Because the navigation
system uses street map information
that does not include all traffic
restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a
road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, you must
always evaluate whether following
the system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear
with the information below, and you
must read and acknowledge the
information it contains.
Infotainment System5
After you acknowledge the start up
information you will be able to
access the NAV (navigation) and
DEST (destination) functions. Once
accessed, you can enter or delete
information in the navigation system
or access other functions. See
instructions later in this section.
Every fifty times the vehicle is
started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution
screen appears. After reading
the caution, select OK to load
the map DVD information.

radio will display a filename,
song name, artist name, album
name, and directory name.
.
Maximum 32 characters,
including spaces, in a file or
folder name.
.
Maximum number of folders is
253 with a maximum hierarchy
of eight folders.
.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
.
It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 192 files on a disc.
.
The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a
maximum capacity of 700 MB.
.
DVD with MP3 are not playable
on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as
a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory will be displayed as ROOT.
All files contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed prior
to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or
files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the file
structure that contains compressed
audio files and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files will be
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
will have no function on a CD that
was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name
of the folder the radio will
display ROOT.

Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the
following order:
.
Play will begin from the first
track in the first playlist and will
continue sequentially through all
tracks in each playlist. When the
last track of the last playlist has
been played, play will continue
from the first track of the first
playlist.
.
If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play will begin
from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been
played, play will continue from
files according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last
track from the last folder, play
will begin again at the first track
of the first folder or root
directory.
When play enters a new folder, the
display will not automatically show
the new folder name. The new track
name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will
be the song name that is contained
in the ID3 tag. If the song name is
not present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio will display the file name
without the extension (such as
.mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages will be
shortened. The display will not show
parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the
filename will not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed
playlists which were created by
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you
will not have editing capability.
These playlists will be treated as
special folders containing
compressed audio song files.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by using
satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with 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
the GPS Satellites. When the
vehicle is not receiving signals from
the satellites, a symbol appears on
the map screen. Refer to NavigationSymbols on page 32.
This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if any of the
following is true:
.
Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.
Objects are located on the rear
shelf of the vehicle.
.
Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
.
After-market glass tinting has
been applied to the vehicle's
rear windshield.
Notice: Do not apply after-market
glass tinting to the vehicle's
windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system's ability to
receive GPS signals and causes
the system to malfunction. The
window might have to be
replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the
warranty.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 62 and If the System Needs
Service on page 63.

road surfaces such as in sand,
gravel, and/or snow.
.
The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads.
.
The vehicle is on a long
straight road.
.
The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.

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 your dealer for
assistance.
Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map DVD is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For any 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. For any
updates or replacements, call the
GM Nav Disc Center or order a new
disc online. Have the Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
available when ordering to ensure
the correct and most up-to-date
DVD map disc for the vehicle is
sent. See “Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)” in the Index of the
vehicle's owner manual for more
information.
After receiving the updated disc,
replace the old disc in the
navigation system. See “Installing
the DVD Map Disc” and “Ejecting
the DVD Map Disc” under Maps onpage 29. Dispose of the old disc to
avoid confusion about which disc is
the most current.

that best works for you.
.
Words that are in brackets are
optional. For example, for the
command Radio [band] [select]
FM, stating Radio FM or Radio
select FM are both valid
commands.
.
When the system recognizes the
command the system will:
‐ either perform the function
‐ ask you to confirm your choice
by clearly stating “yes or no”
‐ issue an error message such
as “System does not
recognize this command” or
direct you to “Please start
speaking after the beep”
.
