Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).
Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some

.Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using
S candc T, the tune knob,
or the SEEK arrows. An MP3 CD-R
or CD-RW that was recorded using
no file folders can also be played.
If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more
than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 files, the
player can access and navigate up
to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio
files, the directory displays as F1
ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders
or files. Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files. The empty folder does not
display.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are under
the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions do not
display on a CD that was recorded
without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder,
the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are under the root
folder. The folder down and up
buttons search playlists (Px) first
and then go to the root folder. When
the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio displays ROOT.Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW are played in the following
order:.Play begins from the first track in
the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the
first track of the first playlist.
.Play begins from the first track in
the first folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has been
played, play continues from the
first track of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the
display does not automatically show
the new folder name unless the
folder mode is chosen as the default
display. The new track name
displays.

The system may not work with
all cell phones. See“Pairing”in
this section for more information.
.See “Storing and Deleting Phone
Numbers” 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 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 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.
When to Speak: A short tone
sounds after the system responds
indicating when it is waiting for a
voice command. Wait until the tone
and then speak.
How to Speak: Speak clearly in a
calm and natural voice.
Audio System
When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth
system, sound comes through the
vehicle's front audio system
speakers and overrides the audio
system. Use the audio system
volume knob, during a call, to
change the volume level. The
adjusted volume level remains in
memory for later calls. To prevent
missed calls, a minimum volume
level is used if the volume is turned
down too low.

wheel to operate the in-vehicle
Bluetooth system. See Steering
Wheel Controls on page 5-2.

malfunction light should go off
once the TPMS sensor matching
process is performed
successfully. See“TPMS Sensor
Matching Process” later in this
section.
.One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The
malfunction light should go off
when the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for
service.
.Replacement tires or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tires or wheels. Tires and wheels
other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See Buying
New Tires on page 10-52.
.Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
tire/wheel position after rotating the
vehicle’s tires or replacing one or
more of the TPMS sensors. Also,
the TPMS sensor matching process
should be performed after replacing
a spare tire with a road tire
containing the TPMS sensor. The
malfunction light should go off at the
next ignition cycle. The sensors are
matched to the tire/wheel positions,
using a TPMS relearn tool, in the
following order: driver side front tire,
passenger side front tire, passenger
side rear tire, and driver side rear.
See your dealer for service or to
purchase a relearn tool. A TPMS
relearn tool can also be purchased.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Sensor Activation Tool at
www.gmtoolsandequipment.com or
call 1-800-GM TOOLS
(1-800-468-6657). There are two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS matching process is:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
3. Press and hold the RKE transmitter's
QandKbuttons at
the same time, for about
three seconds. The horn will
sound twice to indicate the
receiver is ready for the sensor
matching process to begin.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side turn signal
lamp comes on.
5. Place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve
stem. Then press the button to
activate the TPMS sensor.
A horn chirp confirms that the
