INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM 163
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
If equipped, the position of the vehicle
is determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the vehicle,
and/or other circumstances can affect
the navigation system's ability to
determine the accurate position of the
vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of
the vehicle using signals sent by GPS
satellites. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a
symbol appears in the status bar.
This system might not be available or
interference can occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks, or a
tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.For more information if the GPS is not
functioning properly, see
Problems
with Route Guidance 0163 and
If the System Needs Service 0164.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due to
one or more of the following reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand, gravel,
or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on winding
roads or long, straight roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred by
a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration is
set incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
.The vehicle changes directions more
than once, or the vehicle is turning
on a turn table in a parking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/or
exiting a parking lot, garage, or a lot
with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.
.Tire chains are installed on the
vehicle.
.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use after
the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery has been
disconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is stopped
and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the road
indicated.

14584367) - 2021 - CRC - 10/14/20
164 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
.Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
.The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
.Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
.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. SeeMaps0154. 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 obstructions.
If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs service,
see your dealer.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information available
when the vehicle was produced.
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.cadillac.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 0164.
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.

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
14584367) - 2021 - CRC - 10/14/20
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM 165
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.
If your language supports it, try
stating a one-shot command, such as
“Directions to address city, state/province>.”Do not include
the ZIP code while stating the address
during the command. Another
example of a one-shot Destination
Entry command is, “Directions to
Place of Interest at .” If these
commands do not work, try saying,
“Take me to Place of Interest ”or “Find
address ”and the system will walk you
through by asking additional
questions.Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along with
the system’s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
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
controls to activate voice
recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
gagain.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections and visual dialog content. These
displays can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under
Settings0177.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
.Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the supported
actions.
.Short prompts: This type of prompt
will provide simple instructions
about what can be stated.
.Auto informative prompts: This type
of prompt plays during the first few
speech sessions, then automatically
switches to the short prompt after
some experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually
touching the option, or by speaking
the number for the option to select.

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
14584367) - 2021 - CRC - 10/14/20
166 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session may
be completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a 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.
.Pression 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: “Iwant 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.”
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 screens while a voice

14584367) - 2021 - CRC - 10/14/20
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM 167
session is active. If“Phone”or “Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell 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.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available but
not displayed. The list on a voice
recognition screen functions the same
as a list on other displays. Scrolling or
flinging can be used to help display
other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and plays the prompt
“Please select
manually or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns to the display
where voice recognition was initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to go to the
previous menu.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
spoken all the way back to the
starting display, and then “Back”is
spoken one more time, the voice
recognition session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help ”on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played.
Voice Recognition for the Radio
If browsing the audio sources when
voice is touched, the voice recognition
commands for AM, FM, and SiriusXM
(if equipped) are available. “Switch to AM”
:Switch bands to AM
and tune to the last AM radio station.
“Switch to FM” :Switch bands to FM
and tune to the last FM radio station.
“Switch to SXM” :Switch bands to
SiriusXM and tune to the last
SiriusXM channel.
“Tune to AM” :
Tune to the radio station whose
frequency is identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Tune to FM” :Tune
to the radio station whose frequency
is identified in the command (like
“one oh one point one ”).
“Tune to AM HD” :
Tune to the HD Radio station (if
equipped) whose frequency is
identified in the command.
“Tune to FM HD” :
Tune to the HD Radio station (if
equipped) whose frequency is
identified in the command.
