that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.

Radio 15
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. 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.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as
making or receiving phone calls,
charging, or just having the phone
on may cause static interference in
the radio. Unplug the phone or turn
it off if this happens.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self-tuning system. It optimizes the
AM and FM signals relative to the
vehicle's position and radio station
source. No maintenance or
adjustments are needed.
Satellite Radio Antenna
If equipped with SiriusXM Satellite
Radio, the antenna is under the left
front fender. The antenna is hidden
from view and not adjustable.
Multi-Band Antenna
The windshield antenna is for GPS
(Global Positioning System) and
Onstar. Keep clear of obstructions
for clear reception. If the vehicle has
a sunroof, and it is open, reception
can also be affected.

Character Handwriting
Recognition
Character handwriting recognition is
offered as an alternative to using a
keyboard. This character input
method allows the drawing out of
characters instead of picking them
out from the keyboard. Character
handwriting recognition has two
main modes, upper case and mixed
case. The upper case mode is used
for Destination Entry while mixed
case is used for all other character
entry modes. This feature is
available by touching the globe icon
from the keyboard.
The Handwriting Recognition
display is split into different zones:
.Drawing Pad: This is the area
to draw a character. Draw a
character in the display area.
When the first character is
complete, a representation of
that character can be seen, and
there is an audible response.
If the character is correct, the
next character can be started
immediately. ‐
To delete the last entered
character, draw a line from left
to right across the character
field.
‐ To create a space, draw a line
from right to left across the
character field.
. Prioritized Guess List: This
area displays a list of guesses
for the character drawn.
If character recognition displays
the incorrect character, look at
this list and see if the desired
character is available to select.
Scroll up or down the list, then
highlight the desired character.
Touching a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section.
. Character Entry: This is the
area across the top of the
display. This section can look
different depending on which
feature is being used. Option Settings
This section is an area on the right
side of the Character Recognition
display. This section will only look
different if the characters displayed
on the display are in upper case or
mixed case.
.
k:
Touch from the display. The
draw speed setting will adjust
the speed of the character
recognition feature. The settings
are: Faster, Default, and Slower.
. Audio Feedback: Touch to turn
Audio Feedback On or Off.
Audio feedback is an audible
response to an action that has
occurred while using the
Character Recognition.
. ABC/abc: Touch from the
infotainment display to view the
available character sets. Touch a
character set to change. Multiple
character sets may not be
supported by some regions. This
option also displays the

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. SeeMap Data Updates 053.

56 Voice Recognition
3. Wait until after the beepcompletes, 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
options 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 touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home Page. Touching
this display will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching this option
on the infotainment display. .
Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
Ron the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.

.Say “Help” or look at the display
for example commands.
. A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g.
. 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 say, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune To”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, say 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
by 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
Examples of these direct commands
are displayed on most of the
displays 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
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 touching
the item, or by speaking the line
number for that item.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition display functions
the same as a list on other displays.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
