5. Battery Cover
The RSI includes two or four new 2-channel
digital wireless headphones, depending on
the vehicle model. The headphones are used
to listen to various multimedia. The wireless
headphones have a power button, Channel 1 or 2 switch, and a volume control. The
digital headphones cannot be interchanged
with previous models of GM headphones.
Press the power button to turn on the
headphones. A light on the headphones
should come on. A flashing light indicates
the headphones are not in range. Move
them closer to the forward overhead screen
until the light stops flashing. If the light
does not come on, check the batteries.
Intermittent sound or static can also indicate
weak batteries. See
“Battery Replacement”
later in this section.
Turn the headphones off when they are not
in use.
Press the center of the right side of the
headphone to change the channel. Channel 1
will provide audio associated with
screen 1 and channel 2 will provide audio
associated with screen 2.
Infrared transmitters are on the top of the
right seatback video screen. The headphones
shut off automatically to save the battery
power if the RSI system is off or if the
headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes.
Moving too far forward or stepping out of
the vehicle can cause the headphones to
lose the signal or have static. Use the volume control on the headphones
to adjust the volume.
For best audio performance, wear the
headphones as indicated with L (Left) and
R (Right) on the ear pads. Do not let
anything cover the ear pads.
Caution
Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Storage
in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.
If the foam ear pads become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately. To purchase replacement ear
pads, call 1-888-293-3332 or contact your
dealer.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries: 1. Loosen the screw to the battery door on the left side of the headphones.
2. Slide the battery door open.
3. Replace the two AAA batteries.

4. Replace the battery door and tighten thescrew.
Remove the batteries if the headphones will
not be used for a long time.
RSI Troubleshooting
No power : The ignition might not be on or
in ACC/ACCESSORY.
There is no sound from the headphones
with the indicator light on : If the batteries
are good, make sure the headphones are
programmed to the correct screen and on
the correct channel for the screen being
viewed.
Sometimes the wireless headphone audio
cuts out or buzzes : Check for obstructions,
low batteries, reception range, and
interference from cell phone towers or from
cellular telephone use in the vehicle. Check
that the headphones are on correctly using
the L (Left) and R (Right) on the
headphones. Check that the headphones are
positioned properly with the headband
across the top of the head.
Newer mobile phones and tablets emit
infrared light for features like face and iris
detection. This infrared light can interfere
with both the headphone operation. If your headphones experience static or dropouts,
place your mobile device away from the
rear seat displays.
I lost the headphones :
See your dealer for
assistance.
Video Distortion
Video distortion can occur when operating
cellular phones, scanners, CB radios, Global

player when operating one of these devices
in or near the vehicle.

updated periodically, provided that the map
information has changed and the vehicle has
a relevant service plan.
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.chevrolet.com/learn.
If the vehicle is equipped with Connected
Navigation, which is a subscription service
that enables certain features of the
navigation system, such as Traffic, Smart
Search/Routing, and Predictive Navigation,
then the system will download the latest
map data from the cloud.
Database Coverage Explanations
If equipped, 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 0175.
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.
If your language supports it, try stating a
one-shot command, such as “Directions to
address 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.
