Introduction
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 features when
driving. These features may
gray out when they are
unavailable. Many infotainment

subscribers. The experience
now offers more categories
and system learned
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 that
automatically 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 buildingsor 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.
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

category icon shortcuts,
recents icon, favorites icon,
and keyboard.
Auto Complete
Enter a partial location in the
field entry box on the search
display. Auto complete will
attempt to complete the
destination based on what is
being entered. Touch the
suggested item to search.
Search While in Motion with
No Front Seat Passenger
Present
The search display will not
allow changes or text input
with the keyboard when the
vehicle is in motion. As a
result, a display showing three
rows of the most commonly
used categories appears.
Touching the search box will
activate speech recognition.Search While in Motion with
Front Seat Passenger
Present
If the system detects that the
front seat passenger is
present with both driver and
passenger seat belts buckled,
touching the search icon will
display an alert message that
allows the passenger to
search for a destination as if
the vehicle were stopped.
Connected Navigation
Connected Navigation is a
subscription service that
enables certain capabilities
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.
