display a route returning to the
set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
.The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by

If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer for
assistance.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update
process, contact the GM Nav Disc Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472)
or go to the center
’s website,
www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are
needed, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order a new Map Update
online. To order map data, have the
vehicle’s Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) available. See
“Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)” in the owner manual.
After receiving the updated map
data, see Maps on page 58.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas that previously had limited
detail. See Map Data Updates on
page 78.

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
.When multiple commands are
available, choose the command
that works best for you.
.Words in parentheses are
optional. For example, for
the command“Tune FM (frequency),”
saying“Tune
FM 87.7” or“Tune FM” are
both valid commands.
.When the command is
recognized, the system will
either perform the function or
ask to confirm the choice.
.When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says “pardon.”
.If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
.Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned
on high, open windows, and
very loud outside noises, even if
the windows are closed, can
cause voice commands to be
misunderstood.
