Introduction
Infotainment
Read the following pages to become familiar
with the features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for too
long or too often while using any
infotainment feature can 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
features intended to help avoid distraction
by disabling some functions when driving.
Many infotainment features are also
available through the instrument cluster and
steering wheel controls. Before driving:
.Become familiar with the operation,
center stack controls, and infotainment
controls.
.Set up the audio by presetting favorite
stations, setting the tone, and adjusting
the speakers.
.Set up phone numbers in advance so they
can be called easily by pressing a single
control or by using a single voice
command if equipped with Bluetooth
phone capability.
See Defensive Driving 0126.
To play the infotainment system with the
ignition off, see Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0138.

OnStar System
OnStar with 4G LTE
If equipped with OnStar 4G LTE, up to seven
devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and
laptops, can be connected to high-speed
Internet through the vehicle’s built-in Wi-Fi
hotspot.
Call 1-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) to
connect to an OnStar Advisor for assistance.
See www.onstar.com for a detailed
instruction guide, vehicle availability, details,
and system limitations. Services and apps
vary by make, model, year, carrier,
availability, and conditions. 4G LTE service is
available in select markets. 4G LTE
performance is based on industry averages
and vehicle systems design. Some services
require a data plan.
Phone
Bluetooth
For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth
capability, the system can interact with
many cell phones, allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in a
hands-free mode.
.Sharing of the cell phone’s address book
or contact list with the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction, before
driving, and with the vehicle parked:
.Become familiar with the features of the
cell phone. Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete duplicate
or rarely used entries. If possible,
program speed dial or other shortcuts.
.Review the controls and operation of the
infotainment system.
.Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle. The
system may not work with all cell
phones. See “Pairing”in this section for
more information.
.If the cell phone has voice dialing
capability, learn to use that feature to
access the address book or contact list.
See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for
more information.
.See “Storing and Deleting Phone
Numbers” in this section for 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.

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.
