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. SeeMap
Data Updates 0192.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, and phone. This
feature can be started by pressing
g
on the steering wheel.
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 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.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM 193
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
Settings0205.
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. 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.
.Press any MFC button or pressg,
C,B,e,6,0, or the thumbwheel
on the steering wheel controls to

“Voice Keypad”:Begin a dialog to
enter special numbers like
international numbers. The numbers
can be entered in groups of digits with
each group of digits being repeated
back by the system. If the group of
digits is not correct, the command
“Delete ”will remove the last group of
digits and allow them to be re-entered.
Once the entire number has been
entered, the command “Call”will start
dialing the number.
Phone Assistant Voice
Recognition
Press and holdgon the steering
wheel controls to pass through and
launch Google phone assistant or Siri.
For the low radio, whether connected
by Bluetooth or phone projection, the
only available voice recognition is
either Siri (iPhone) or the Google
Assistant (Android).
Phone
Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system can
interact with many mobile devices,
allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in a
hands-free mode.
.Sharing of the device’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 mobile device. 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 mobile device(s) to the vehicle.
The system may not work with all
mobile devices. See “Pairing”later in
this section.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can
use a Bluetooth-capable mobile device
with a Hands-Free Profile to make and
receive phone calls. The infotainment system and voice recognition are used
to control the system. 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 mobile devices support
all functions and not all mobile
devices work with the Bluetooth
system. See my.cadillac.com for more
information about compatible mobile
devices.

Driving Information
Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage.
Here are some driving tips to get the
best fuel economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to the
desired temperature after the engine
is started, or turn them off when
not required.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate
smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt
stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long
periods of time.
.When road and weather conditions
are appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the
same TPC Spec number molded into
the tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and
can take your focus from the task of
driving. Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities divert your
attention away from the road. Many
local governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your
eyes on the road, keep your hands on
the steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.Do not use a phone in demanding
driving situations. Use a hands-free
method to place or receive
necessary phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read, take
notes, or look up information on
phones or other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
