Introduction
MOBILE MEDIA NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a mobile media navigation system which
allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and
video), navigate the vehicle and operate climate control functions (if
equipped).
Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. The display
screen is the primary means for operating the system through the use of
its vertically tabbed menus, text screens and menu displays. Screen
selections are made by touching the desired selection on the touch
screen. The “tabs” along the left side of the screen represent the major
components of the system. The status bars at the top and bottom of the
screen will stay present for the majority of the time once the system is
turned on and ready for operation. The top status bar will contain menu
names, icons, and a clock. The lower status bar contains climate
information (if equipped), icons and advisory messages. Please refer to
Status bars in the System Overview chapter for more information.
Navigation guidance is shown on the display touch screen and is
supplemented with voice prompts.

Introduction
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
In order to prevent the navigation system from distracting you while
driving, access to certain functions are restricted when the vehicle is
traveling above 5 mph (8 km/h). At this time, only the Quick Destination
menu items are available for destination entry. Restricted functions
include:
• Travel Link subscriptions (if active) such as movie times, ski
conditions, sports scores and scrolling of the weather map
• Editing/Adding entries in the Address Book
• Editing/Adding entries in the Avoid Areas List
• Jukebox restrictions such as creating/editing playlists, sorting playlists,
editing track, artist and album names
• Uploading photographs
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with SYNC威, similar features will be
restricted also.
When the vehicle begins to move, and the Select Route Screen is shown,
the highlighted route is automatically selected and guidance begins.
When the vehicle speed is reduced to 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, system
restrictions are lifted and you have full access to the system.

Voice recognition system overview
VOICE RECOGNITION (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an advanced interactive Voice
Recognition (VR) system. This system allows you to perform many
operations such as operating the navigation, audio, phone (if equipped),
media, climate (if equipped), display and voice settings by “speaking”
certain commands. The system will respond with a series of audible
tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may
hear a tone at the following times:
• When you press VOICE or
• When you access the help feature.
• When the VR system does not understand your request
• When a VR session is completed successfully
• When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
• When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
• When a new device is connected
The navigation system has five different audible tones that will play
depending on the circumstance.
• Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
• Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session
completion.
• Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR
session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
• Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
• Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.
on your steering wheel controls.
Confirmation prompts
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the
system has not clearly understood your request or when there are
several possible responses to your request. For example, if you have
Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”.
The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If
you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will
ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts
2009 Centerstack (ng1)

Voice recognition system overview
OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you
to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.
Clarification through candidate lists
Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options
of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will
submit back to you as many as five possibilities for your clarification.
This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.
Example #1:
You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, “Call John Doe at home”.
If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may
respond with:
• (initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to
call Jane Doe at home.” (listen tone)
Example #2:
You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, “Play Artist John”. If the
system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may
respond with:
• (initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to play John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to play Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)

Satellite radio (if activated)
Your vehicle is equipped with satellite radio capability. The factory installed
SIRIUS satellite radio system includes a limited subscription term which
begins on the date of sale / lease of the vehicle. Extended subscription
terms are available, please contact SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
You will need to give SIRIUS your Satellite Radio ESN Number for
activation. The ESN number is found on the System Information Screen
(SR ESN:XXXXXXXXXXXX). Press the I button (
system and select the ‘System Info’ tab on the touchscreen.
Satellite radio channels: SIRIUS broadcasts a variety of music, news,
sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUS satellite radio channels,
visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.sirius-canada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
• Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display
ACQUIRING...toindicatetheinterference.
SIRIUS satellite radio service: SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription
based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and
entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order to receive
SIRIUS service. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory installed
