Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external
electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power
outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles
(16 to 65 km). Although the radio has a built-in electronic
circuit that automatically works to reduce interference,
some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception
from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,
and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to
fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under
heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause
loss of the XM signal for a period of time.

for selection.
If a name does not display after entry, it may need to
be entered differently or the map DVD disc may
not contain that information. SeeDatabase Coverage
Explanations on page 4-59for more information.
Maps
This section includes basic information that you need to
know about the map database.
The maps are stored on a DVD. The United States,
Canada, and Puerto Rico are contained on one disc.
Detailed Areas
Road network attributes are contained in the map
database for detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names, street address, turn
restrictions, etc. A detailed area includes all major
highways, service roads, and residential roads. The
detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such as:
restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations,
gas stations, tourist attractions, historical monuments,
etc. The map database may not include data for newly
constructed areas or map database corrections that are
completed after the production of the disc. The navigation
system provides full route guidance in the detailed
map areas.
Limited Guidance Areas
Any area that is not classi ed as detailed, is a limited
guidance area. Limited guidance streets are displayed
on the map but route guidance may not be given
on these streets. Some POI categories, such as the city
center POI category, and some street addresses are
included in the limited guidance areas.
The navigation system informs through voice prompts
when you are traveling into a limited guidance area
where route guidance is not available. The street maps
and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation
system can then be used to determine the remaining
route to your destination.

Map Destination Screen Functions
If the map screen is used to show destinatiion, it will have
map screen capabilities such as Go, Mark, Zoom, Scroll,
etc. The address is shown at the top of the screen.
OnStar®Destination Download
OnStar®Destination Download (if equipped) is a service
available for OnStar* subscribers that makes operating
your navigation system much simpler. It allows
subscribers to request and receive navigation assistance
on-the-go.
Using OnStar®Destination Download
Press the blue OnStar®button and an Advisor can
locate a point-of-interest or an address and download
the necessary information or coordinates to your
navigation system. Once the destination is downloaded,
the navigation system will search for the address in
the mapping disc’s database. When the address
is found, it will be shown on your navigation system’s
screen along with the buttons described below.

Traffic Options
Read the following Options descriptions to understand
how the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle’s navigation system may have (if equipped)
an XM NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a
subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio.
XM NavTraffic™ provides real-time traffic information
fully integrated to the navigation system to display
current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route.
XM NavTraffic™ allows drivers to make the most
informed, timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if
an attempt is made to turn on the traffic display in
the Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription,
a Caution screen displays indicating that XM traffic
is not activated.Three types of traffic information for major roadways are
displayed on the navigation system:
Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents
and disabled vehicles
Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures
Traffic ow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™
Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes it possible for
the navigation system to provide continuously updated
traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.
4-47

XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic
information for many markets nationally, and the service
may be available in more cities in the future. Visit
xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local coverage.
