Rear Vision Camera

Your vehicle may have a rear vision camera system. Read this entire section before using the camera system.
The rear vision camera system is designed to help the driver when backing up by displaying a view, on the navigation screen, of the area behind the vehicle when the driver shifts the vehicle into REVERSE (R). Once the driver shifts out of REVERSE (R), the navigation screen will go back to the last screen that had been displayed, after a delay.
Turning the Rear Vision Camera System On or Off
To turn the rear vision camera system on or off, do the following:
1. Shift into PARK (P).
2. Press the MENU hard key to enter the configure menu options, then press the MENU hard key to select Display or touch the Display screen button.

4. Select the Video screen button. When the Video screen button is highlighted the RVC system is on.
The delay that is received after shifting out of REVERSE (R) is approximately 10 seconds. The delay can be cancelled by performing one of the following:
Pressing a hard key on the navigation system.
Shifting in to PARK (P).
Reach a vehicle speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
There is a message on the rear vision camera screen that states “Check Surroundings for Safety”.
{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the
camera’s field of view, below the bumper, or underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear vision camera screen, or use the screen during longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances using the screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has the RVC system, always check carefully before backing up by checking behind and around your vehicle.

Rear Vision Camera Error Messages
Service Rear Vision Camera System: This message
may display when the system is not receiving information it requires from other vehicle systems.
If any other problem occurs or if a problem persists, see your dealer/retailer.

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 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 appears on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 2-7.
2-40
This system may not be available or interferences may occur if any of the following are 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.
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s rear windshield.
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 the GPS is not functioning properly, see If the System Needs Service on page 2-43 and Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-42.

The vehicle is approaching a tall building or
a large vehicle.
The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
The vehicle has just been transferred by a vehicle
carrier or a ferry.
The current position calibration is set incorrectly.
The vehicle is traveling at high speed.
The vehicle changes directions more than once,
or when the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking lot.
The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a parking lot,
garage, or a lot with a roof.

Ordering Map DVDs

The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when your vehicle was produced. The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed.
If you have any 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 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)” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual for more information.
After receiving the updated disc, replace the old disc in the navigation system. See “Installing the DVD Map Disc” and “Ejecting the DVD Map Disc” under Maps on page 2-4. Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusion about which disc is the most current.

Database Coverage Explanations

Map detail varies. Some areas have greater map detail than others. The navigation system will only work as well as the information provided by the map disc. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-43.

Navigation Audio System

Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can be added by checking with your dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment can be added, it is very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice: The chime signals related to seat belts, parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to your vehicle, the chimes may not work.

Using a Compressed Audio CD/DVD
Compressed Audio CD/DVD Format
There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3, WMA, or mixed disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a burned disc, the disc may not play. The guidelines are:
ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio
if it is available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0, v1.1, and v2.0. The radio displays a filename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.
Maximum 32 characters, including spaces,
in a file or folder name.
The recommended maximum number of folders
is 100 with a maximum hierarchy of three folders.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album.
All playlist files (.m3u or .pls) must be removed
from disc contents. Playlists are not supported.
It is recommended that there is a maximum of
192 files on a CD-R(W) disc.
It is recommended that there is a maximum of
200 files on a DVD+R(W) disc.
The files can be recorded on a CD-R(W) or
DVD+R(W).
Copy protected WMA files are not supported.
Scanning Compressed Audio Disc
Scanning a compressed audio disc categorizes and allows sorting of songs by folder artist or album.
Select center folder/artist/album button to
initiate scanning mode. The radio plays and a progress bar displays.
Background scanning occurs with the radio
on and the compressed audio disc inserted but not being played.
Only the first 200 songs appears in the
compressed audio music navigator.
Scanning time varies depending on the
number of files and folders on the disc.
3-13
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory is displayed as ROOT. All files contained directly under the root directory is accessed prior to any root directory folders.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed files directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the file structure that contains compressed audio files and the empty folder is displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the disc contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions have no function on a disc that was recorded without folders. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following order:
The radio does not support playlist files.
Order of play differs depending if the compressed
audio disc is fully scanned or unscanned. See “Scanning Compressed Audio Disc” previously in this section.
When playing an unscanned disc, the next and
previous screen buttons may be required to switch away from the current folder when quickly seeking rather than allowing the last song of a folder to play to completion.
Play begins from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, play continues from files according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the first track of the first folder or root directory.
A scanned compressed audio disc in artist/album
modes only play songs within the current category. The next and previous screen buttons change to different artists or albums.
When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name displays.
3-14
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages are shortened. The display does not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the filename does not display.

Fading With a Bose®Surround Sound System (Acadia and Enclave Only)
When using fade in 5.1 Surround mode, the left front and right front speakers will fade rearward, leaving the center front speaker unaffected until the last fade step, then all front speakers mute.
If the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) is turned on, the radio disables fade and mutes the rear speakers.
When fading full rearward, you may want to select a stereo mode rather than surround. Stereo mode allows full audio content, center channel, voices, etc., to be faded rearward for rear occupants using vehicle speakers.
The following methods allow for switching surround sound into a 2 channel stereo mode:
Select a stereo or 2 channel mode using the
DVD-Video top menu. Most commercial DVD-Video top menus contain audio configuration settings.
While the movie is playing, select OPTIONS
to show all available DVD options. Select the AUDIO buttons to change current DVD audio track.

Helpful Hints for Stating Commands
When a multiple command is available, choose the command that works best for you.
Words that are in brackets are optional. For
example, for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid commands.
When the system recognizes the command,
the system does one of the following:
− Perform the function.
