Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
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 do this. Some
features may be disabled while
driving. A grayed-out function
indicates it is not available when
the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. 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 to drive, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.
For vehicles with phone
capability, set up phone numbers
in advance so they can be called
with the press of a single button
or a single voice command.
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 by selecting a
destination using the various
methods and choices.
.
Follow turn-by-turn instructions
and map guidance with voice
prompts, when permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
.
Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.
Blackplate(5,1)
CadillacSRXNavigationSystem-2011
Infotainment System5
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 could 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, 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 might appear
with the information below. Read
and acknowledge the information it
contains.
If the Caution screen appears, press
the OK screen button. If the NAV or
DEST control buttons are pressed,
this Caution screen appears and OK
must be pressed to access NAV and
DEST functions. See instructions
later in this section.
To get started, set preferences or
delete informations to the navigation
system using various options.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined 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 of the United
States Department of Defense.
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. See
Navigation Symbols on page 54.
This system might not be available
or interferences can 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.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see If the
system needs service and Problems
with Route Guidance.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the could be inaccurate due to
one or more of the following
reasons:
.
The road system has changed.
.
Driving on slippery road surfaces
such as in sand, gravel and/
or snow.
.
Traveling on winding roads or
long straight roads.
.
Approaching a tall building or a
large vehicle.
.

.
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 51 for
more information.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position

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 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 a new disc online.
To order a disc, have the vehicle's
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
available. This helps the center
make sure that the correct and most
up-to-date DVD map disc for the
vehicle is received. See “Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)” in the
Index of the vehicle's owner manual
for more information.
After receiving the updated disc,
see “Installing the DVD Map Disc”
and “Ejecting the DVD Map Disc”
under Maps on page 51 for more
information.
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 which previously had limited
detail. See Ordering Map DVDs onpage 82 for more information.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system's voice
recognition allows for hands free
operation of the navigation system
and the audio system features.
Voice recognition only works if the
map database is installed in the
system.
If the radio is off, the only
commands would be Hands
Free and Help.
Navigation voice commands are not
available until the I Agree button
has been selected.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See “Retained Accessory Power
RAP” in the index of the vehicle's
owner manual for more information.

not turned down. See ConfigureMenu on page 71 for more
information.
While voice recognition is active,
the system displays a
g symbol.
2. Clearly speak one of the
commands listed later in this
section.
Canceling Voice Recognition

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
.
When a multiple command is
available, choose the command
that best works for you.
.
Words that are in brackets
are optional. For example, the
command “Radio [band] FM”,
saying “Radio FM” or “Radio
Band FM” are both valid
commands.
Infotainment System83
.
Words that are separated by
a ( / ) mean there is a choice
of using a word on either side
of the slash. For example, the
command (CD/DVD/Disc) [help],
you can say “CD [help]” or
“DVD [help]” or “Disc [help]”.
.
When the system recognizes the
command the system will either
perform the function or ask to
confirm the choice by clearly
saying “yes” or “no”.
.
When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system issues an error message
such as “pardon” or “command
not recognized”. The system
could also say, “voice
recognition canceled”.
.
If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the beep.

recognition session, turn the
volume knob of the radio,
or press the volume steering
wheel control buttons. If the

associated with Address Book
Entries, and once these voice tags
are stored, they can be used as part
of a voice recognition command that

entry as a destination. See the
Address Book and Voice tag
sections earlier in this manual for
information about instructions on
how to store a voice tag in the
system.
Navigation [go to] (voice tag):
This command allows selection of a
destination saved under the stored
voice tag. The system plays back
the voice tag and asks to confirm by
saying yes or no.
If a destination is set to “Home”, say
“Navigation go to Home”. After the

it is confirmed, the system sets
“Home” as the destination.
