ACCESSORY position. The range
of the Bluetooth system can be up
to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones
support all functions, and not all
phones are guaranteed to work
with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system.
See gm.com/bluetooth for more
information on compatible phones.
Voice Recognition
The Bluetooth system uses voice
recognition to interpret voice
commands to dial phone numbers
and name tags.
Noise:Keep interior noise levels to
a minimum. The system may not
recognize voice commands if there
is too much background noise.When to Speak:A short tone
sounds after the system responds
indicating when it is waiting for
a voice command. Wait until
the tone and then speak.
How to Speak:Speak clearly in a
calm and natural voice.
Audio System
When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth
system, sound comes through
the vehicle’s front audio system
speakers and overrides the audio
system. Use the audio system
volume knob, during a call, to change
the volume level. The adjusted
volume level remains in memory for
later calls. To prevent missed calls,
a minimum volume level is used if the
volume is turned down too low.
