6-6 Lighting
When the wiring is connected to an
auxiliary roof-mounted lamp,
pressing the bottom of the button
will activate the lamp and illuminate
an indicator light at the bottom of
this button. Pressing the top of the
button will turn off the roof-mounted
lamp and indicator.
The emergency roof lamp circuit is
fused at 30 amps, so the total
current draw of the attached lamps
should be less than this value. The
attachment points for the roof lamp
circuits are two blunt cut wires
above the overhead console: a dark
green with blue stripe switched
power wire and a black ground wire.
For information on roof-mounted
emergency lamp installation, see
www.gmupfitter.com or contact your
dealer.
If the vehicle has this button, the
vehicle may have the snow plow
prep package. SeeAdd-On

Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
either the
gbutton on the steering
wheel or by selecting the
gon the
screen 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 that is to be
performed. The system replies with
prompts that lead through a dialog
to enter the necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 9-28.

Infotainment System 7-25
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 select
gon the
infotainment screen 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 screen, 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.
Press
gto interrupt any voice
recognition system prompt. 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. If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
buttons on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able
to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is pressing on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form (English
only), or direct commands that state
the application and the task. For languages that do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form, use the direct
commands shown as examples on
the display screen.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
.Say
“Help” or look at the screen
display for commands.
.Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted during a
prompt by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press
gagain
and wait for the beep.
.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.
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.”
