TEXT MESSAGE ALERTS

If your Corvette is paired with a Bluetooth device that supports Text Message Alerts, the system:

• Can display important text messages

• Can play them back over the audio system

• Can send preset messages

• Requires a compatible smartphone with Bluetooth proﬁle (M.A.P.) and applicable text messaging features

For more information about varying capabilities, go to gmtotalconnect.com. For example, iPhones require unique setup requirements and offer limited Text Message Alert capabilities.

How To Use Text Messaging

• Press “message” button on Home Page

• When messages are retrieved, “text message”

inbox displays

• Select "Reply" to reply and select desired message from display of preset messages, then select "Send" (this function is not available for iPhones) incoming

Notes for iPhone

Text Messaging functionality with compatible iPhones is limited to Apple restrictions on what the radio can access, e.g., text messages received prior to entering the vehicle will not be displayed, and you cannot reply to a text message.

“Show Notiﬁcations” must be enabled on the phone to allow the radio to access messaging; to enable “Show Notiﬁcations,” after pairing and connecting to the radio:

• On the phone, select “Settings,” then “Bluetooth,” then “Properties” (either device-friendly name such as “Sierra” or “Radio”), then turn “show Notiﬁcations” on

• Restart vehicle for connection to take hold

• Once set, it is retained for future connections

SIRI EYES FREE FOR IPHONE USERS

Siri Eyes Free gives compatible iPhone users handsfree access to some of their phone’s features, like the

calendar and text messaging.

Siri Eyes Free allows users to direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. The Eyes Free mode enables users to interact with their iPhone using nothing more than their voice.

How to Use Siri Eyes Free

Owners simply connect their iPhone with the radio via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the Push-toTalk (PTT) button on the steering wheel to begin and end

sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode.

Press and hold the PTT button long enough until Siri speaks; pressing and holding the PTT button for too short a period of time will engage the onboard voice recognition system and bypass Siri. Siri can:

• Make voice-activated, hands-free calls to contacts on their iPhone

• Play songs in the iTunes library, and even switch music sources automatically from AM/ FM/XM radio to iPod mode

• Listen to, compose and send an iMessage or text message to a phone number or anyone in saved contacts

• Access calendar and add appointments

• Answer simple questions such as game scores or the dates of national holidays; while in Eyes Free mode, Siri will not provide answers to complex questions that require displaying a web page
