®, OnStar®, or a
navigation system, press and hold to interact with
those systems.
Bluetooth®
For vehicles with an in-vehicle Bluetooth system, it
allows users with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone to
make and receive hands-free calls using the vehicle’s
audio system and controls.
The Bluetooth enabled cell phone must be paired with
the in-vehicle Bluetooth system before it can be used in
the vehicle. Not all phones will support all functions. For
more information visit www.gm.com/bluetooth.
For more information, see Bluetooth
®on page 4‑113.
Navigation System
The vehicle's navigation system (if equipped) provides
detailed maps of most major freeways and roads
throughout the United States and Canada. After a
destination has been set, the system provides
turn-by-turn instructions for reaching the destination. In
addition, the system can help locate a variety of points
of interest (POI), such as banks, airports, restaurants,
and more.
See the Navigation System manual for more
information.

OnStar service requires wireless communication
networks and the Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellite network. Not all OnStar services are available
everywhere or on all vehicles at all times.
OnStar service can’t work unless your vehicle is in
a place where OnStar has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service in that area, and
the wireless service provider has coverage, network
capacity, reception, and technology compatible with
OnStar's service. Service involving location information
about your vehicle can’t work unless GPS signals are
available, unobstructed, and compatible with the OnStar
hardware. The vehicle has to have a working electrical
system and adequate battery power for the OnStar
equipment to operate. OnStar service may not work if
the OnStar equipment isn’t properly installed or you
haven’t maintained it and your vehicle is in good
working order and in compliance with all government
regulations. If you try to add, connect, or modify any
equipment or software in your vehicle, OnStar service
may not work. Other problems OnStar can’t control may
prevent service to you, such as hills, tall buildings,
tunnels, weather, electrical system design and
architecture of your vehicle, damage to important parts
of your vehicle in a crash, or wireless phone network
congestion or jamming.See
Radio Frequency Statementon page 8‑20for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules and
Industry Canada Standards RSS-210/220/310.
OnStar Steering Wheel Controls
This vehicle may have a Talk/Mute button that can be
used to interact with OnStar Hands-Free calling. See
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
on page 4‑124for more
information.
On some vehicles, the mute button can be used to dial
numbers into voice mail systems, or to dial phone
extensions. See the OnStar Owner's Guide for more
information.
Your Responsibility
Increase the volume of the radio if the OnStar advisor
cannot be heard.
If the light next to the OnStar buttons is red, the system
may not be functioning properly. Push the
Qbutton and
request a vehicle diagnostic. If the light appears clear
(no light appears), your OnStar subscription has
expired and all services have been deactivated. Push
the
Qbutton to confirm that the OnStar equipment is
active.

Head-Up Display (HUD)
{WARNING:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your
field of view, it may take you more time to see
things you need to see when it is dark outside. Be
sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low
in your field of view.
For vehicles with the Head-Up Display (HUD), some of
the driver information that appears on the instrument
panel cluster is projected onto an image on the
windshield.
The information can be displayed in English or metric
units. To change from English to metric units, see DIC
Operation and Displays on page 4‑70.
The HUD consists of the following information:
.Speedometer
.Turn Signal Indicators
.High-Beam Indicator Symbol
.Driver Shift Control Transmission Feature, see
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 3‑30
.Check Gauges Icon
.Adaptive Cruise Control Features and Indicators
(If Equipped), see Adaptive Cruise Controlon
page 4‑15
.Forward Collision Alert Features and Indicators
(If Equipped), see Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System on page 4‑6
.Radio Features
United States version
shown, Canada similar
Always scan the instrument panel displays, controls
and driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD, so important warning lights are not
missed. Under important warning conditions, the
CHECK GAGES message will display in the HUD.
View the Driver Information Center (DIC) for more
information.
