Video distortion can occur when
operating cellular phones, scanners,
CB radios, Global Positioning
Systems (GPSs), two-way radios,
mobile faxes, or walkie talkies.
It might be necessary to turn off the

these devices in or near the vehicle.
Rear Seat Infotainment
(RSI) System (Platinum)
Vehicles with the Platinum RSI
system include two head restraint
video display screens with
integrated DVD players, auxiliary
inputs, two wired headphones, and
remote control. This system works
independently from the vehicle's
Overhead DVD RSI system. The
headphones support four channels
of audio and are shared with the
Overhead RSI system.
The vehicle has a feature called
Retained Accessory Power (RAP).
With RAP, the RSI system can beplayed even after the ignition is
turned off. See
“Retained Accessory
Power (RAP)” in the owner manual.
Video Display Screens
The video display screens are on
the back of each head restraint.
Caution
Avoid directly touching the video
screen, as damage can occur.
See“Cleaning the Video Screens”
later in this section.

screen along with a disc indicator,
and playback starts. If the disc is
inserted incorrectly, the DVD player
ejects the disc and “No Disc”
displays. Some DVDs do not allow fast
forwarding or skipping of the
copyright information or previews.
If the DVD does not begin playing at
the main title, refer to the on-screen
instructions.
The DVD player can be controlled
by using the buttons below the
video display screen or by using the
buttons on the system’s remote
control. See

.Say “Help” or look at the screen
display for example commands.
. Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
gagain 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 Dave Smith
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
. 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.”
Some languages support complete
destination requests in a single
command. If your language
supports it, try stating a One Shot
command such as, “Navigate to
Address one two three Main Street,
Lansing Michigan.” Another
example of a One-Shot Destination
Entry command is, “Navigate to
Place of Interest –Hotels.” If these
commands do not work, try saying
“Navigate to Place of Interest” or
“Navigate to Address” and the
system will come back and ask for
details of your destination. Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
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 Dave Smith
at work.”

Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
If equipped, 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, touch the Back
screen button to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out. The screen returns back to the
screen where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say
“Back” or touch
0to go to
the previous screen.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
stated all the way through to the
initial screen, then “Back”is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
screen and the help prompt for the
screen is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on
the instrument cluster or the
infotainment touchscreen. Touch the
Dismiss button to make the pop-up
go away. Pressing
gwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
If equipped, all audio screens have
a voice recognition button (
g) to
launch audio voice recognition.
If the voice button is touched in a
radio screen, the voice commands
for radio and media features are
available.
“Switch to AM” :Switch bands to
AM and tune to the last AM radio
station.
“Switch to FM” :Switch bands to
FM and tune to the last FM radio
station.
“Tune to <AM frequency> AM” :
Tune to the radio station whose
frequency is identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).

“Tune to <FM frequency> FM”:

Voice Recognition for
Navigation
If equipped, some examples of
available navigation commands:
“Navigation” :Begin a dialog to
enter specific destination
information.
“Navigation Commands” :Begin a
dialog to enter specific destination
information.
“Destination Address” :Begin a
dialog to enter a specific destination
address, which includes the entire
address consisting of the house

state.
“Destination Intersection” :Begin
a dialog to enter a specific
destination intersection. “Destination Place of Interest”
:
Begin a dialog to enter a destination
Place of Interest category or major
brand name (if equipped).
Not all brand names of businesses
are available for voice entry. Most
major chains, such as chains with
more than 20 locations, should be
available to search for by name, but
the name must be precisely spoken.
Nicknames or short names for the
businesses will not likely be found.
Lesser known businesses might
have to be located by category,
such as fast food, hotels, or banks.
“Destination Contact” :Begin a
dialog to enter a specific destination
contact name.
“Cancel Route” :End route
guidance.
If your language supports it, try
stating a One Shot command to
enter a destination, such as
“Navigate to address one two three
Main Street, Lansing Michigan.”
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is
“Navigate to Place of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands do not work, try saying
“Navigate to Place
of Interest” or“Navigate to Address”
and the system will come back and
ask for details of your destination.
Voice Recognition for the
Phone
If equipped, some examples of
available phone commands:
“Call <contact name>” :Initiate a
call to an entered contact. The
command may include location if
the contact has location numbers
stored.
“Call <contact name> At Home,”
“At Work,” “On Mobile,” or“On
Other” :Initiate a call to an entered
contact and location at home, at
work, on mobile device, or on
another phone.
“Call <phone number>” :Initiate a
call to a standard phone number
seven or 10 digits in length, and
also 112.
“Pair Phone” :Begin the Bluetooth
pairing process. Follow instructions
on the radio display.
