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 online.
To order, have the vehicle’s Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
available. This helps the center
make sure that the correct and most
up-to-date map data for the vehicle
is received. See “Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)” in the
owner manual.
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 100.
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing either
the
gbutton on the steering wheel
or
gon the touchscreen display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down, are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.

In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command would be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“NavigationDestination Entry.” The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See “Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner manual.Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
control to activate voice
recognition, or press
gon the
infotainment touchscreen on the
center stack.
.If voice recognition is
started from the steering
wheel control, the
instrument cluster displays
the selections and visual
dialog content.
.If voice recognition is
started from the
infotainment touchscreen ,
the selections and visual
dialog content are
displayed on both the
center stack display and the
instrument cluster display. 2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt followed
by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands described
in this section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, press
gagain and the
beep should happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
.Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
.Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.

.Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
.Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example,“Call Dave Smith
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
.Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an “Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying “Place of Interest,”
only major chains are available
by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For other POIs, say the name of
a category like
“Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or“Phone Commands,” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered. If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“Call Dave Smith
at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Make your

selection from the list using the
manual controls, press the Back
screen button to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The screen returns back to the
screen where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say“Back” or press the Back
screen button to go to the previous
screen.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
stated all the way through to the
initial screen, then “Back”is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
screen and the help prompt for the
screen is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on the instrument cluster or the
infotainment touchscreen. Press the
Dismiss button to make the pop-up
go away.
Pressing
gwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
