signal strength may be weak or the
station is out of range. Verify proper
reception on another channel.
If listening to channel HD1 and the
signal is losing reception, the radio
will go back to the main non-HD
Radio station.
If listening to channels HD2 to
HD7 and the signal is losing
reception, the radio mutes until the
signal can be recovered or until the
station is changed.
Digital HD broadcasting signals are
weaker than the normal signal
strength of the analog station, so

same range as non HD station
listening. The radio will indicate loss
of HD signal by displaying “No HD

the rear of the RSE overhead
console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA
are shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. Moving too
far forward or stepping out of the
vehicle can cause the headphones
to lose the audio signal.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
Wear headphones with the
headband over the top of the head
for best audio reception. The
symbol L (Left) appears on the
outside bottom edge of the ear cup
and should be positioned on the left
ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the outside bottom edge of the
ear cup and should be positioned on
the right ear.
Caution
{
Do not store the headphones in
heat or direct sunlight. This could
damage the headphones and
repairs will not be covered by the
warranty. Storage in extreme cold
can weaken the batteries. Keep
the headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the
headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set.
To purchase replacement ear pads,
call 1-888-293-3332, then prompt

Map Data Updates
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. To order map data, have the
vehicle's Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) available. See
“Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)” in the owner manual.
After receiving the updated map
data, see Maps on page 55.
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 that previously had limited
detail. See Map Data Updates onpage 77.
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
either the
steering wheel or the voice
recognition icon on the touchscreen
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.
b /g button on the
Most voice commands, except for
voice keypad can be completed in a
single command. If the task takes
more than one command to
complete, the first command would
be to indicate the kind of task to be
performed. The system will reply,
prompting dialog to help speak the
necessary information.
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 owner manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. Initialization takes place
once the ignition is turned on. This
may take a few moments.
1. Press
b /g on the steering
wheel control to activate voice
recognition, or press the voice
recognition icon on the
infotainment touchscreen on the
radio.
2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt followed
by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands described
in this section.
Press
b /g to interrupt any
The voice prompt modes can be
changed in the Voice Recognition
Menu from the Settings icon on the
Home Page.
If a command is not heard during a
short period of time, the voice
recognition process times out.
Prompts and Screen Displays
voice recognition. This will
terminate the prompt. The beep
is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
.
Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions for that voice
recognition session.
.
Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple setup
and action commands.
The system prompts and display
screens will adjust to reflect the
commands during the voice
recognition session.
While voice recognition is active,
there may be corresponding buttons
and screen displays available to
interact with the system so that
some of the functions can be
manually done. Pressing any of the
buttons or displays to finish a
function that was initiated through
voice recognition will terminate the
session. If the manual functions are
only partially completed, the voice
recognition will proceed until
finished.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Press x on the steering wheel
controls. This will terminate the
voice recognition session and
display the screen prior to when
voice recognition was initiated.
.
Press the z or the circled arrow
displaying on the upper corners
of the screen to terminate or go
back up the voice menu
respectively during the voice
recognition session.
.
Say “Cancel” or “Exit” to
terminate or go back to the voice
menu during the voice
recognition session, and to
display the screen prior to when
voice recognition was initiated.
The voice recognition application
can usually understand direct
commands of the application
and task.
An example of a command would
be, “Phone.” The system may
answer with a prompt of, “Say Call
followed by the number or contact
name.” The direct command for this
task would be, “Call 555-1212.”
If the phone number has been
saved as a name or place, the direct
command would be, “Call David’s
office number.”
Directed Dialog
A directed dialog is an interaction
between a person speaking the
command and the system prompting
for specific information necessary to
complete the task. Many times the
system may repeat what the person
has stated as a command. This is
done as a confirmation to make
sure the command is understood.
