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.
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 steeringwheel 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.
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.
1-4
Page 9
{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.
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. The system
uses limited information, you must always evaluate
whether following the system’s directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
Every fifty times the vehicle is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the CAUTION screen will appear.
Touch the Next screen button for the map DVD
information to load. You can also select to change the
language, Eng (English) or Fr (French). See “Language”
under Configure Menu on page 2-32 for more
information.
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.

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 accurate 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.
This system may not be available/or interference may
occur if the following happens:
• Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, large
trucks, tunnels,
• objects located on top of the instrument panel,
• satellites will not send signals if they are being
repaired or improved,
• after-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windows.
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 2-38 and
Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-37.

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)”

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 2-38.

There will be a 12 to 15 second delay while the CD is
read, before it begins to play. When the player begins to
read a CD, the Disc Check in Process message will
appear briefly to remind you of the delay.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition
or radio is turned on, the CD will start playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
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.
