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
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.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the
radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off
if this happens.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger in the
rear window. Do not scratch the
inside surface or damage the lines
in the glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.
If attaching a cell phone antenna to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.
Notice: Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
Notice: Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
23
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for OnStar,
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, and GPS
(Global Positioning System). Keep
clear of obstructions for clear
reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, reception
can also be affected.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
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.
67
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 on the
map screen. See Navigation
Symbols on page 50.
Vehicle Positioning
The road system has changed.
This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand,
gravel, or snow.
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads or long straight
roads.
Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 68 and If the System Needs
Service on page 69.

There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
The 12-volt battery is
disconnected for several days.
Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is
stopped and started repeatedly.
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

Black plate (70,1)
Infotainment System
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing either
the g button on the steering wheel
or the voice recognition icon on the
touchscreen display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks which require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting 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 pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command would be to indicate
the kind of task that is to be
performed, like “Navigation
Destination Entry.” The system will
reply prompting dialog to help speak
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or “Destination Entry.”
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 owner manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. Initialization takes place
once the ignition is turned on. This
may take a few moments.
1. Press g on the steering wheel
control to activate voice
recognition, or press the voice
recognition icon on the
infotainment touchscreen on the
center stack.
If voice recognition is
started from the steering
wheel control, the
instrument cluster displays
the selections and visual
dialog content.
If voice recognition is
started from the
infotainment touchscreen
on the center stack, the lists
and controls are verbal and
the visual displays through
the center stack.
2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt followed
by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands described
in this section.
Cadillac CUE Infotainment System - 2013 - CRC 2nd Edition - 5/31/12
Black plate (71,1)
Infotainment System
Press g to interrupt any voice
recognition. This will terminate
the prompt. The beep is heard
immediately, and a command
can be stated without having
to wait.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able
to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is pressing on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Press the Home screen button.
Pressing this button will
terminate the voice recognition
session and display the Home
Page screen.
Press or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to
terminate the voice recognition
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Press c on the steering wheel
controls. This will terminate the
voice session if the session was
started by a press of the voice
recognition touchscreen, and will
display the Home Page screen.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
Say “Help” or look at the screen
display for commands.
Voice recognition can be
interrupted during a prompt by
pressing g again.
Canceling Voice Recognition
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
buttons on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session

For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being

72
Infotainment System
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press g again
and wait for the beep.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, “Call David Smith
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
Black plate (72,1)
Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an “Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or “Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying “Place of Interest,”
only major chains are available
by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or “Hospitals.”
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or “Phone Commands,” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example “Call David Smith
at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls or press the Back
button to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
