182 Infotainment System
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 and the
vehicle has a relevant service plan.
Over-the-Air-Vehicle Map
Updates
If equipped, the infotainment system
can receive map updates over the
air. Map updates occur within a
161 km (100 mi) radius around the
home address on file. This
boundary will adjust over time
based on driving patterns. The
vehicle uses a Cloud-connected
service to receive the date and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped.
A data plan or compatible mobile
device hotspot is required. The SD
card is required for navigation
system function.
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once theupdate is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interruption any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and
starting where it left off. The
updates can be set to download
automatically.
See www.gmnavdisc.com for details
on ordering, purchasing, and
installing a new or replacement SD
card. Features are subject to
change. For more information on
this feature, see my.buick.com/
learn.
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
0 182.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel or touching
gon the
infotainment 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 touches, such as 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 touching one or
two options, and are not supported
by voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.

task. If a selection is made using a
manual control, the voice
recognition dialog will progress in
the same way as if the selection
were made using a voice command.
Once the system completes 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 or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
ion the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display where voice
recognition was initiated. Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated
in sentence form or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt before
saying a command or reply.
. Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow.
. Use direct commands without a
lot of extra words. For example,
“Call at work,” “Play”
followed by the artist or song
name, or “Tune”followed by the
radio station number. .
Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command
using keywords. A few examples
are: “I want directions to an
address,” “I need to find a place
of interest or (POI),” or“Find
contact.”
The system responds by
requesting more details. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
. Navigating to a destination
outside of the current country
takes more than one command.
The first command is to tell the
system where the navigation will
take place, such as an Address,
Intersection, POI, or Contact.
If Address or Intersection is
selected, the second command
is to say, “Change Country.”
Once the system responds, say
the country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection.
If POI is asked for, say “Change
Location,” then“Change
Country.”
