recommendations toward
discovering more personalized
content.
To use the full SiriusXM 360L
program, including streaming
content and listening
recommendations, OnStar
Connected Access is required.
Connected vehicle services
vary by model and require a
complete working electrical
system, cell reception, and
GPS signal. An active
connected plan is required.
Reference the SiriusXM user
guide for use and subscription
information.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices
from the accessory power
outlets if there is interference
or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16
to 65 km (10 to 40 mi).
Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit thatautomatically works to reduce
interference, some static can
occur, especially around tall
buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM
stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The
longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also
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 tunnelsmay 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.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems,
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.

Infotainment System 189
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 Settings
0203.
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.
