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 0121.
To play the infotainment system with the
ignition off, see Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0133.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
If equipped, ANC reduces engine noise in the
vehicle’s interior. ANC requires the
factory-installed audio system, radio,
speakers, amplifier (if equipped), induction
system, and exhaust system to work
properly. Deactivation is required by your
dealer if related aftermarket equipment is
installed.

Infotainment System 103
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in
and out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,
or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM
signal for a period of time. Some cellular
services may interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making or
receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna will go through
most car washes as long as it is securely
attached. If the antenna becomes slightly
bent, straighten it out by hand. If it is badly
bent, replace it.Occasionally check that the antenna is tight
at the base. If tightening is required, protect
the paint from damage.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used for radio,
navigation, and OnStar, depending on the
equipped options. Keep clear of obstructions
for clear reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, reception can also
be affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media Devices
When using media devices such as CDs,
DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, SD cards, USB devices,
and mobile devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could contain files
that affect system operation or performance.
Avoid use if the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Radios with an auxiliary input jack on the
lower right side can connect to an external
audio device such as an iPod, MP3 player,
or CD player for use as another source for
audio listening. This input jack is not an
audio output; do not plug headphones into
the front auxiliary input jack.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any
auxiliary device while the vehicle is in
P (Park). See
Defensive Driving 0121 for
more information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a
3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to the radio's front
auxiliary input jack. When a device is
connected, press the radio CD/AUX button
to begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase the
portable audio device's volume to the
loudest level.
It is always best to power the portable
audio device through its own battery while
playing.
O: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the volume of the
portable player. Additional volume
adjustments might have to be made from
the portable device if the volume is not loud
or soft enough.

connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See the cell phone manufacturer's user
guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing
the cell phone.
Pairing Information
.A Bluetooth phone with MP3 capability
cannot be paired to the vehicle as a
phone and an MP3 player at the
same time.
.Up to five cell phones can be paired to
the Bluetooth system.
.The pairing process is disabled when the
vehicle is moving.
.Pairing only needs to be completed once,
unless the pairing information on the cell
phone changes or the cell phone is
deleted from the system.
.Only one paired cell phone can be
connected to the Bluetooth system at
a time.
.If multiple paired cell phones are within
range of the system, the system connects
to the first available paired cell phone in
the order that they were first paired to
the system. To connect to a different
paired phone, see
“Connecting to a
Different Phone” later in this section.
Pairing a Phone
1. Press and hold
b/gfor two seconds. 2. Say
“Bluetooth.” This command can be
skipped.
3. Say “Pair.”The system responds with
instructions and a four-digit Personal

with this process, see the cell phone
manufacturer's user guide.
5. Locate the device named “Your Vehicle”
in the list on the cell phone. Follow the
instructions on the cell phone to enter
the PIN provided in Step 3. After the PIN
is successfully entered, the system
