Press to access your home screen.
Depending on your vehicle’s option package and software, your
screens may vary in appearance from the screens shown in this
section. Your features may also be limited depending on your market.
Check with your authorized dealer for availability.
Customizing Your Home Screen
Press the house icon to access the home screen.
Using the Touch-Sensitive Controls on Your System
Your vehicle’s centerstack has touch-sensitive switches for your
infotainment and climate control systems. To turn a feature on and off,
just touch the graphic with your finger. To get the best performance from
the touch-sensitive controls, keep in mind:
•Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may cause a nearby control to turn
on or off.
•Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
•Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.
•Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the
surface of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
•Power: Turn the media (or climate features) on or off.
•VOL and fan slider bars: Slide your finger over the rear slider area to
increase or decrease the volume or fan levels.
•Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
•Eject: Eject a CD.
•SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media modes.
The screen does not change, but you see the media changes in the
lower left status bar.

Navigation
Climate
You can make selections from the menu by using the OK button or
touching the screen. If you make a selection by touching the screen, the
selection menu expands and you are allowed different options.
•Press the up and down arrows to scroll through the modes.
•Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
•Press the left or right arrows to make adjustments within the chosen
mode.
•Press OK to confirm your selection.
Note:If your vehicle is not equipped with navigation, Compass appears
in the display instead of Navigation. If you press the right arrow to go
into the Compass menu, you can see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, not “true”
direction (i.e. if the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of the compass
graphic displays west; north displays to the left of west though its “true”
direction is to the right of west.)
USING YOUR VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in front
of you. The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the
chosen level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is
not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses to
your request.
When using voice commands, words and icons may also appear in the
lower left status bar indicating the status of the voice session (i.e.,
listening, success, failed, paused or try again).
