Navigation 67
.It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
. Automatic rerouting might
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
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
searched.
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps048.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstruction.
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 to ensure
the correct and most up-to-date map
data for the vehicle is sent. 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 067.

68 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the
infotainment system features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the radio is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner manual. The
system maintains a minimum
volume level.
Using Voice Recognition
1. Pressb/gon the steering
wheel. The audio system
mutes. A voice prompt states,
“Please say a command.” Wait
until the tone is heard before
speaking.
If there is no tone, make sure
that the volume is turned up.
While voice recognition is
active, the system displays a
g
symbol in the top right of the
screen. 2. Clearly speak one of the
commands listed later in this
section.
Press
b/gtwice on the steering
wheel to skip the voice prompt
messages.
Canceling Voice Recognition
1. Press and release$/ion
the steering wheel control to
cancel a command, if the
system response does not
match the voice command,
or say “Goodbye” or“Cancel.”
2. The system replies, “Goodbye.”
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.
. The system is able to recognize
commands in different
languages, such as English,
Canadian French, and Spanish.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the
language selected.
