Touching the up arrow will give you upcoming streets.
At times, there may not be names available for entrance
or exit ramps.
To avoid a turn, touch AVOID next to the turn you want
to avoid. You can use REDUCE or ENLARGE to edit
the avoided point. Touch Reroute or press the MAP key
to calculate your new route.
Touch Return to view your current position and to turn
the turn list screen off.
Touch REROUTE or press the MAP key to calculate a
new route.
Auto Reroute
When your destination is set and you travel off of the
planned route, the system will automatically begin
to reroute you. You will see the new route highlighted
on the screen.
Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may have
to change the selected region to represent the area
you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination when
traveling across regions.The following method is suggested and provides the
most route guidance and map display functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when
you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps on
page 4-39.
2. Enter your destination and route settings.
SeeEnter Destination on page 4-28for more
information.
If you do not want to use the rst method, keep your
currently selected search area region and enter your
destination. This method allows you only to select a
destination from the easy planning route method or
from the All Points of Interest (POI) categories with the
“All Search Areas” comment for US Only. For example,
Tourist is a category that features this comment. See
Enter Destination on page 4-28for more information.
If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross the
regional border, the only map scale views available
are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km, 16 km, 64 km
and 256 km). Change the selected search area region
when you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps on page 4-39
for more information.

Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2 will
display on the screen. A message will not appear on the
screen if the driver is unknown. The number on the
back of the transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or
driver 2. The navigation system can store memory points
for drivers 1 and 2 individually. SeeKeyless Access
System on page 2-5for more information.
OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio system will
be muted and the navigation voice prompts will be
disabled during the call. The volume of the OnStar
®call
can be adjusted by using the steering wheel volume
controls. SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-41for
more information.
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 conguration, 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 will appear
on the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 4-44.
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.
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 you are experiencing a problem,
seeIf the System Needs Service on page 4-52and
Problems with Route Guidance on page 4-52.

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.
The GPS signal is not received.
A roof carrier is installed on your vehicle.
The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.

The rst time the map DVD is inserted.
The battery is disconnected for several days.
The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where driving is
at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started
repeatedly.
If you experience problems with your system, see
“Adjust Vehicle Position” underSetup Menu on
page 4-13to calibrate the system.

Problems with Route Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one or
more of the following conditions:
You have not turned onto the road indicated.
Route guidance may not be available when using
automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.
The route may not be changed when using
automatic rerouting.
There is no route guidance when turning at an
intersection.
Plural names of places may be announced
occasionally.
It may take a long time to operate automatic
rerouting during high-speed driving.
Automatic rerouting may display a route returning to
the set waypoint if you are heading for a destination
without passing through a set waypoint.
The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
Some routes may not be searched.
The route to the destination may not be shown if
there are new roads, if roads have recently
changed, or if certain roads are not listed on the
map DVD. SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 4-53.
To recalibrate the vehicle’s position on the map, see
“Adjust Vehicle Position” underSetup Menu on
page 4-13to calibrate the system.

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 Identication
Number (VIN) available. This helps the center make
sure you receive the correct and most up-to-date DVD
map disc for your vehicle. SeeVehicle Identification
Number (VIN) on page 6-89for 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” underMaps on
page 4-39. Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusion
about which disc is the most current.
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. SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 4-53.

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.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be
played even after the ignition is turned off. SeeRetained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-24for more
information.
The audio system is operated using navigation system
menus. The audio menus are explained in this section.
