Getting Started
Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and
to understand how the system works.
Any route suggestions made by this navigation system
may never override local traffic regulations, your
own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation
system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform
a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a
hazardous situation, or route you into an area you
consider unsafe.
DVD Map Disc noise, when entering the vehicle and
turning the vehicle off, is normal system operation.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of
your vehicle’s owner manual for more information.
Get familiar with your vehicle’s navigation system so
you can use it with less effort and take full advantage
of its features. Your navigation system includes not
only navigation, but also audio functions. While
your vehicle is parked:
• Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard
keys on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen
buttons.
• Familiarize yourself with its operation.
• Set up your audio by presetting your favorite
stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the
speakers. Then, when driving conditions permit,
you can tune to your favorite stations using
the presets and steering wheel controls
(if equipped).
• Set up the navigation features that can only be
done before you begin driving, such as entering
an address or a preset destination.
Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.

Page 9
Other functions may also be locked out while driving
and they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but
all functions are available when parked. Some functions
can be performed while driving, as long as you can
do so without diverting too much of your attention from
your driving.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
{CAUTION:
Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the navigation
screen. Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
The navigation system allows you to do the following:
• Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts.
• Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
• Receive RDS broadcast announcements.
You should always be alert and obey traffic and roadway
laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. 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.
1-5
Page 10
The system uses limited information, you must always
evaluate whether following the system’s directions is safe
and legal for the current conditions.
Each time the vehicle is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution screen may appear
or the previous active screen will appear dependent on
system power off time. If the Caution screen appears,
touch OK to load the map DVD information. If OK is
not selected, all hard keys except for NAV (Navigation)
and DEST (Destination) can be accessed.
Once the NAV or DEST hard keys are pressed, this
Caution screen will appear and OK must be pressed to
load the map DVD information from the map disc.
When getting started you may set the navigation system
to your preference or delete information you may have
entered using various options. To do so, reference the
following topics.
Language — English/Metric
To change the language of the navigation screens,
see “DIC Vehicle Customization” in the Index of your
vehicles owner manual.
To change the navigation screens from English or
metric, see “DIC Operation and Displays” in the Index
of your vehicles owner manual.
Deleting Personal Information
This navigation system can record and store personal
information such as names and addresses. At times,
such as when you are disposing of your vehicle, you
may want to delete this information. See “Edit Address
Book — Edit/View” under Configure Menu on page 2-29

Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of your
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 your vehicle
using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the
United States Department of Defense. When your
vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites,
a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer to
Symbols on page 2-8.
This system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:
• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
• Objects are located on the rear shelf.
• 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 will interfere
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.
For more information if you are experiencing a problem,
see If the System Needs Service on page 2-39 and
Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-39.

• The vehicle is driving on slippery 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.
• The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
• The vehicle has just 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 when 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 your vehicle.
• The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.
• The tires are replaced.
• The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect.
• The tires are worn.
• The first time the map DVD is inserted.
• The battery is 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.

Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was produced.
The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that
the map information has changed.
If you have 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. If you need any updates
or a replacement disc, because the current disc is lost,
damaged, or needs to be updated, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order a new disc online. To order a disc, have
your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available. This
helps the center make sure you receive the correct and
most up-to-date DVD map disc for your vehicle. See
“Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in the Index of
your 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 2-4. Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusion
about which disc is the most current.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map
detail available for any given area. Some areas will
feature greater levels of detail than others. If this
happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the
system. As the map DVD is updated, more detail
may become available for areas which previously had
limited detail. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-40.

Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio
can do the following:
• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming
• Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
• Display messages from radio stations
This system relies on receiving specific information from
these stations and will only work when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast
incorrect information that will cause the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the
radio station.
The RDS system is always on. When information is
broadcast from the FM station you are listening to, the
station name or call letters will be displayed on the
audio screen. RDS may provide a program type (PTY)
for current programming and the name of the program
being broadcasted.

CD Player
The player can be used for CD and MP3. If your vehicle
has RSE, the player can be used for CD, MP3, DVD
audio, and as a DVD video player. See DVD Playeron page 3-17 for more information about DVD audio
and video.
With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player will pull it in and the CD should
begin playing. While playing a CD, the navigation system
is available. If you insert a CD with the system off and the
ignition on, it will start to play.
When you insert a CD, the CD tab will display.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD will start playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8cm) single
CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due
to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R
has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not
play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see “Care
of Your CDs” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one
CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is
made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD
player could be damaged. While using the CD player,
use only CDs in good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and
the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids,
and debris.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top
of the recorded CD with a soft marker instead.

Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
There are guidelines that must be met, when creating
an MP3 disc. If the guidelines are not met when
recording a CD-R(W), the CD may not play.
The guidelines are:
• ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is
available. The radio supports ID3 tag information
v1.0 or v1.1. The 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 700MB.
• 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.
3-13
Page 70
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio files, but no folders, all files will be located under
the root folder. The left and right arrow buttons will
search playlists (Px) first and then go to the root folder.
When the radio displays 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.

Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
Your vehicle may have the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE
system includes a video display screen, two sets
of wireless headphones, and a remote control.
See DVD Player on page 3-17 for all information on
inserting a DVD and using the navigation system
screens for DVD play.
Parental Control
See “DVD Menu Options” under DVD Player on
page 3-17 for parental control information.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen while
driving and should not try to do so.
3-23
Page 80
Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. These headphones
are used to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,
DVDAs, radio, or any auxiliary source connected to the
auxiliary input jack, if your vehicle has this feature or
A/V jacks. The wireless headphones have a power
On/Off button, channel selector switch (1 or 2), and
a volume control.
If your vehicle has a third row video screen display,
it will have two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones. An
indicator light located on the headphones will come on.
If the light does not come on, the batteries may need to
be replaced. See “Battery Replacement” later in this
section for more information. Switch the headphones to
Off when not in use. Channel 1 is dedicated to the video
screen, while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA selections.
The infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE center console. The headphones will shut off
automatically to save the battery power if the RSE
system and the RSA are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters for more than
3 minutes. If you move too far forward or step out of
the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
The headphones will automatically turn off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the headphones must
be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left) will appear on
the upper left side, above the ear pad and should
be positioned on the left ear. The symbol R (Right)
will appear on the upper right side, above the ear pad
and should be positioned on the right ear.
3-24
Page 81
Notice: Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
The foam ear pads attached to the headphones may
become worn or damaged if they are not handled or
stored properly. If the foam ear pads do become
damaged or worn out, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set. It is not necessary
to replace the complete headphone set. The headphone
replacement foam ear pads can be ordered in pairs.
See your dealer/retailer for more information.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver to
loosen, then slide open the battery door located
on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly, using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door
screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floor
console. The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals
to be connected from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A)
is for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the
left audio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio
input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the radio
system.

The RSE system will always transmit the audio signal
by infrared to the wireless headphones, if there is audio
available. See “Headphones” previously for more
information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the vehicle speakers by using the navigation system.
The RSE system may be selected as an audio source
on the navigation system if the RSE system power is on.
Once the RSE system is selected as an audio source
on the navigation system, adjust the speaker volume,
