manual for information on other
available infotainment systems.
Read the following pages to
become familiar with the features.
{Warning

cause a crash. You or others
could be injured or killed. Do not
give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving.
Limit your glances at the vehicle
displays and focus your attention
on driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in

Before driving:
.
Become familiar with the
operation, center stack controls,

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 ignition is on
or in ACC/ACCESSORY. 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 in
U.S. and Canada only.
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.
Bluetooth Controls

wheel to operate the in-vehicle
Bluetooth system. See Steering
Wheel Controls 090.
