within the navigation system,
such as Traffic, Smart Search/
Routing, and Predictive
Navigation capabilities. The
system will show an alert
when the subscription is
expiring and will ask to renew
the plan.
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
If equipped, the position of the
vehicle is determined by using
satellite signals, various
vehicle signals, and map data.
At times, other interference
such as the satellite condition,
road configuration, condition
of the vehicle, and/or other
circumstances can affect the
navigation system's ability to
determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current
position of the vehicle using
signals sent by GPS satellites.
When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the
satellites, a symbol appears in
the status bar.
This system might not be
available or interference can
occur if any of the following
are true:
.Signals are obstructed by
tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel.

.Satellites are being repaired
or improved.
For more information if the
GPS is not functioning
properly, see Problems with
Route Guidance 0193 and
If the System Needs Service
0 194.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the
vehicle on the map could be
inaccurate due to one or more
of the following reasons:
.The road system has
changed.
.The vehicle is driving on
slippery road surfaces such
as sand, gravel, or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads or long,
straight roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a

use after the map data is
updated.
.The 12-volt battery has been
disconnected for
several days.
.The vehicle is driving in
heavy traffic where driving is
at low speeds, and the
vehicle is stopped and
started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance
can occur under one or more
of the following conditions:
.The turn was not made on
the road indicated.
.Route guidance might not be
available when using
automatic rerouting for the
next right or left turn.
.The route might not be
changed when using
automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance
when turning at an

.It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
.Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to
the set waypoint if heading
for a destination without
passing through a set
waypoint.
.The route prohibits the
entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season
or any other regulation
which may be given.
.Some routes might not be
searched.
.The route to the destination
might not be shown if there
are new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if
certain roads are not listed
in the map data. See Maps
0184.
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. The
map data is 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, visit your
brand website. See Online
Account
0469 for details. 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
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. See Map Data
Updates
0194.

Infotainment System 195
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 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.
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.

Cadillac XT6 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16405819) -

Infotainment System 197
For those languages, use
direct commands like the
examples shown on the
display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can
understand commands that
are naturally stated in
sentence form or direct
commands that state the
application and the task.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt before
saying a command or reply.
.Speak the command
naturally, not too fast, not
too slow.
.Use direct commands
without a lot of extra words.
For example,“Call at
work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name,
or “Tune” followed by the
radio station number.
.Navigation destinations can
be made in a single
command using keywords. A few examples are:
“I want
directions to an address,” “I
need to find a place of
interest or (POI),” or“Find
contact.”
The system responds by
requesting more details. For
other POIs, say the name of
a category like
“Restaurants,” “Shopping
Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
.Navigating to a destination
outside of the current
country takes more than one
command. The first
command is to tell the
system where the navigation
will take place, such as an
Address, Intersection, POI,
or Contact. If Address or
Intersection is selected, the
second command is to say,
“Change Country.” Once the
system responds, say the
country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection. If POI is asked for, say
“Change Location,”
then
“Change Country.”
Direct commands might be
more clearly understood by
the system. An example of a
direct command would be “Call
.” Examples of these
direct commands are
displayed on most of the
screens while a voice session
is active. If “Phone”or“Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the
system understands that a
phone call is requested and
will respond with questions
until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell phone number has
been saved with a name and a
place, the direct command
should include both, for
example “Call
at work.”

performance will degrade to
some extent based on many
factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize.
If this is the case, perhaps
accessing songs through
