cell phone with a Hands Free Prole
to make and receive phone calls.
The system can be used while
the key is in ON/RUN or
ACC/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.
