the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or 4 pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the file name do not display.

were created using WinAmp™,

they cannot be edited using the

file extension and are stored on a
USB device may be supported by
the radio with a USB port.

The vehicle may have an
Overhead DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system.
The RSE system works with the
vehicle's audio system. The DVD
player is part of the front radio. The
RSE system includes a radio with a
DVD player, a video display screen,
and if the vehicle has a third row
seat, it could have a second video
display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a
remote control. See CD/DVD Player
on page 7‑19 for more information
on the vehicle's DVD system.
Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat
passengers only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while
driving and should not try to do so. In severe or extreme weather
conditions, the RSE system might
not work until the temperature is
within the operating range. The
operating range for the RSE system
is above
−20°C (−4°F) or below
60°C (140°F). If the temperature of
the vehicle is outside this range,
heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating
range of the RSE system.

hold the radio power button for more
than two seconds to stop all system
features such as: radio, video

Bluetooth capability, the system
can interact with many cell phones,
allowing:

address book or contact list with
the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle

contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.

operation of the infotainment
and navigation system.
.Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.
The system may not work with
all cell phones. See “Pairing”in
this section for more information.

dialing capability, learn to use
that feature to access the
address book or contact list.
See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this
section for more information.

{WARNING
When using a cell phone, it can
be distracting to look too long or
too often at the screen of the
phone or the infotainment
(navigation) system. Taking your
eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash
resulting in injury or death. Focus
your attention on driving. A Bluetooth system can use a
Bluetooth‐capable cell phone with
a Hands‐Free Profile to make and
receive phone calls. The system
can be used while the key is in the
ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY
position. The range of the Bluetooth
system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft).
Not all phones support all functions,
and not all phones are guaranteed
to work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth
system. See www.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.
For additional information, say
“Help”
while you are in a voice
recognition menu.
Noise: Keep interior noise levels to
a minimum. The system may not
recognize voice commands if there
is too much background noise.
