Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
While entering the vehicle or when
turning the vehicle off, some
DVD Map Disc noise is normal.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive is important
for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features intended
to help keep your eyes on the
road and mind on the drive. Some
features may be disabled while
driving. Note that these functions will
be grayed-out. A grayed-out
function indicates it is not available
when the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
•Become familiar with the
navigation system operation, hard
keys on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons of
the navigation system.
•Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the speakers.
4 Infotainment System
•Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
•Set up your phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily with the press of a
single button or a single voice
command (for navigation systems
equipped with phone capability).
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too often
at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
•Plan a route.
•Select a destination using
various methods and choices.
•Follow turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
You should always be alert and
obey traffic and roadway laws and
instructions, regardless of the
guidance from the navigation
system. Because the navigation
system uses street map information
that does not include all traffic
restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a
road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, you
must always evaluate whether
following the system’s directions is
safe and legal for the current
conditions.
When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear with
the information below, and you
must read and acknowledge
the information it contains.
Infotainment System 5
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road for
extended periods could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others.
To help avoid a crash in which you
or others could be killed:
•Always concentrate on your
driving first by keeping your eyes
and mind on the road, and
your hands on the wheel.
•Follow system directions only if
permitted by traffic laws,
controls, and conditions.
•Before using this system, read
the owner’s manual and learn
how it operates.
•Some system controls cannot be
used the when vehicle is moving.
After you acknowledge the start up
information you will be able to
access the NAV (navigation) and
DEST (destination) functions. Once
accessed, you can enter or
delete information in the navigation
system or access other functions.
See instructions later in this section.
Every fifty times the vehicle is started
and the navigation system is turned
on, the Caution screen appears.
After reading the caution, select OK
to load the map DVD information.
If OK is not selected, all hard keys
except for NAV (Navigation) and
DEST (Destination) can be
accessed. You can also press the
NAV hard key to have this Caution
screen appear.
When getting started, set the
navigation system to your
preference or delete information you
may have entered using various
options.

available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do
the following:
•Seek to stations broadcasting the
selected type of programming
•Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
•Display messages from radio
stations
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may broadcast
incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
The RDS system is always on.
When information is broadcast from
the FM station you are listening
to, the station name or call letters
will be displayed on the audio
screen. RDS may provide a program
type (PTY) for current programming
and the name of the program
being broadcasted.

and 320 kbps.
•ID3 tag information is displayed
by the radio if it is available.
The radio supports ID3 tag
information v1.0 or v1.1. The
radio will display a filename, song
name, artist name, album
name, and directory name.
•Maximum 32 characters,
including spaces, in a file
or folder name.
•Maximum number of folders is
253 with a maximum hierarchy
of eight folders.
•Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs while
driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
•It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 192 files on a disc.
•The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a maximum
capacity of 700MB.
•DVD with MP3 are not playable
on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as
a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the directory
will be displayed as ROOT.
Infotainment System 25
All files contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed
prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders
or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure
that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the file
structure that contains compressed
audio files and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files will be
located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder
functions will have no function on a
CD that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but
no folders, all files will be located
under the root folder. The left
and right arrow buttons will search
playlists (Px) first and then go
to the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder
the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following
order:
•Play will begin from the first track
in the first playlist and will
continue sequentially through all
tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will
continue from the first track of
the first playlist.
•If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play will begin
from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been
played, play will continue from
files according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last
track from the last folder, play
will begin again at the first track
of the first folder or root
directory.
When play enters a new folder, the
display will not automatically
show the new folder name. The new
track name will appear on the
display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will
be the song name that is contained
in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, then
the radio will display the file
name without the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages will be
shortened. The display will not
show parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the filename will not display.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by
using satellite signals, various
vehicle signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with 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 the GPS Satellites of the
United States Department of
Defense. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites,
a symbol appears on the map
screen. Refer to Navigation Symbols
on page 47.
This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if:
•Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
•Objects that are placed on top of
or near the instrument panel.
•Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
•After-market glass tinting has
been applied to the vehicle’s
windshield.
Notice: Do not apply after-market
glass tinting to the vehicle’s
windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system’s ability to
receive GPS signals and causes
the system to malfunction.
The window might have to be
replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by
the warranty.
Infotainment System 77
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see If
the System Needs Service
on page 79 and Problems with
Route Guidance on page 78.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map may 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 in sand,
gravel, and/or snow.
•The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads.
•The vehicle is on a long straight
road.
•The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
•The surface streets run parallel
to a freeway.
•The vehicle has just been
transferred by a vehicle carrier or
a ferry.
•The current position calibration is
set incorrectly.
•The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
•The vehicle changes directions
more than once, or when the
vehicle is turning on a turn table
in a parking lot.
•The vehicle is entering and/or
exiting a parking lot, garage,
or a lot with a roof.
•The GPS signal is not received.
•A roof carrier is installed on
your vehicle.
•The vehicle is being driven with
tire chains.
•The tires are replaced.
•The tire pressure for your tires is
incorrect.
•The tires are worn.
•The first time the map DVD is
inserted.
•The battery is 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.
If problems are experienced with the
navigation system, see your
dealer.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance may
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
•You have not turned onto the
road indicated.
•Route guidance may not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
78 Infotainment System
•The route may not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
•There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
•Plural names of places may be
announced occasionally.
•It may take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
•Automatic rerouting may display
a route returning to the set
waypoint if you are 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 may not be
searched.
•The route to the destination may
not be shown if there are new
roads, if roads have recently
changed, or if certain roads are
not listed on the map DVD.
See Ordering Map DVDs
on page 79.
To recalibrate the vehicle’s position
on the map, see your dealer.
If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are still
problems, see your dealer for
assistance.
Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map DVD is updated
periodically, provided that the
map information has changed.
For any questions about the
operation of the navigation
system or the update process,
contact the GM Nav Disc
Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472)
or go to the center’s website,
www.gmnavdisc.com. For any
updates or replacements, call the
GM Nav Disc Center or order a new
disc online. Have the Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) available
when ordering to ensure the
correct and most up-to-date DVD
map disc for the vehicle is sent. See
“Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)” in the Index of the vehicle’s
owner manual for more information.
Infotainment System 79
After receiving the updated disc,
replace the old disc in the navigation
system. See “Installing the DVD
Map Disc” and “Ejecting the
DVD Map Disc” under Maps on
page 44. Dispose of the old disc to
avoid confusion about which
disc is the most current.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage area depends upon the
map detail available. Some
areas have greater map detail than
others. The navigation system
works only as well as the information
provided on the map disc. See
Ordering Map DVDs on page 79 on
how to obtain updated map
information.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice
recognition allows for hands-free
operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar
®
features. The DVD map disc must
be installed in the navigation system
for voice recognition to work. See
“Installing the DVD Map Disc” under
Maps on page 44. Voice recognition
can be used when the ignition is
on or when Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active. See
“Retained Accessory Power (RAP)”
in the Index of your vehicle’s
owner manual for more information.
To use voice recognition, do the
following:
1. Push and hold the SRCE
(source) steering wheel control
until you hear a beep. The audio
system, if on, will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the
commands listed on the following
pages.
Helpful Hints for Stating
Commands
•When a multiple command is
available, choose the command
that best works for you.
•Words that are in brackets are
optional. For example, for the
command Radio [band] [select]
FM, stating Radio FM or
Radio select FM are both valid
commands.
•When the system recognizes the
command the system will:
− either perform the function
− ask you to confirm your choice
by clearly stating “yes or no”
− issue an error message such
as “System does not
recognize this command” or
direct you to “Please start
speaking after the beep”
•If the system is not yet ready, the
system may state “System is
checking the disc. Please wait.”
80 Infotainment System
•To cancel a command or if the
system response does not
match your verbal command,
press and hold the talk symbol
button. The system will reply,
“System will cancel the
voice recognition”.
•If you experience difficulty with
the system recognizing a
command, try saying it more
softly, and wait for a few seconds
after the beep, or you may just
try saying it again.
•Background noise may cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood, including airflow
noise from wind.
•To use the voice recognition
system, the map DVD must
be loaded.
This system is able to recognize
commands in three different
languages. The system will only
recognize commands based on the
language selected from the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See “Driver Information Center, DIC
Vehicle Personalization” in the
Index of your vehicles owner
manual.
Voice Recognition Commands

Navigation go to [destination]
(voice tag), navigation select
[destination] (voice tag): These
commands instruct the system
to select a destination saved under
the voice tag you have stored.
When a destination is requested
using a voice tag, the system
will state, “Press or say cancel if not
correct”. To cancel this voice tag
destination, using voice recognition,
push and hold the SRCE button
on the steering wheel until you hear
a beep, then say “cancel”.
Canceling voice tag destination by
voice recognition, must be done
within five seconds after the
voice prompt.
If you are not currently driving on a
route, the system will automatically
create the voice tag destination
as the final destination. If you are
currently driving on a route, the
system will automatically create the
voice tag destination as a
waypoint. Up to three waypoints can
be created.
Storing Voice Tags
