radio SATURN VUE 2009 Owner's Manual

Playlists can be changed by using
the previous and next folder buttons,
the tune knob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no le folders can
also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les,
the player can access and navigate
up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R
or CD-RW is treated as a folder.
If the root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory displays
as F1 ROOT. All les contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders
or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the le structure that
contains only folders/subfolders andno compressed les directly beneath
them, the player advances to the
next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed les, the les are
located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder
functions do not display on a CD
that was recorded without folders
or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under the
root folder. The folder down and up
buttons searches playlists (Px) rst
and then go to the root folder. When
the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio displays ROOT.Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW are played in the following
order:
Play begins from the rst track
in the rst playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play
continues from the rst track of
the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track
in the rst folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has been played,
play continues from the rst track
of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder,
the display does not automatically
show the new folder name unless
the folder mode is chosen as the
default display. The new track
name displays.

File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is
the song name that is contained in
the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
displays the le name without the
extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the lename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created by WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however,
they cannot be edited using the

Navigation/Radio System
For vehicles with a navigation
radio system, see the separate
Navigation System manual.
Bluetooth®
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system
can use a Bluetooth capable cell
phone with a Hands Free Prole
to make and receive phone calls.
The system can be used while
the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY position. The range
of the Bluetooth system can be
up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones
support all functions, and not all
phones are guaranteed to work
with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system.
See gm.com/bluetooth for more

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell
phone chargers, vehicle
convenience accessories, and
external electronic devices are
plugged into the accessory power
outlet. If there is interference or
static, unplug the item from the
accessory power outlet.
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. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. 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.
3-92 Instrument Panel
ProCarManuals.com

FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
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.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service
gives digital radio reception from
coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, 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 XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle’s radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone’s battery, or
simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the
cellular phone and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can
withstand most car washes without
being damaged as long as it is
securely attached to the base.
If the mast becomes slightly bent,
straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check to make sure
the antenna is tightened to its base.
If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio
Antenna System
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is
located on the roof of the vehicle.
Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear radio reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the
performance of the XM system may
be affected if the sunroof is open.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio may be used to adjust the
vehicle’s chime level. If the radio can
be used to change the volume level
of the chime, press and hold the sixth
FAV softkey with the ignition on and
the radio power off. The volume level
changes between Normal and Loud.
The selected volume level appears
on the radio display.
Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or
chime module will disable vehicle
chimes.

Jump Starting
If the vehicle battery has run down,
you may want to use another vehicle
and some jumper cables to start your
vehicle. Be sure to use the following
steps to do it safely.
{CAUTION
Batteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because:
They contain acid that can
burn you.
They contain gas that can
explode or ignite.
They contain enough
electricity to burn you.
If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you.
Notice:Ignoring these steps
could result in costly damage to
the vehicle that would not be
covered by the warranty.Trying to start the vehicle by
pushing or pulling it will not work,
and it could damage the vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It
must have a 12-volt battery with
a negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle’s
system is not a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged. Only
use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump
start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough
so the jumper cables can reach,
but be sure the vehicles are not
touching each other. If they are, it
could cause a ground connection
you do not want. You would not
be able to start your vehicle, and
the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake rmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put the transmission
in P (Park) before setting the
parking brake.
Notice:If you leave the radio or
other accessories on during the
jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the radio
and other accessories when jump
starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory
power outlet. Turn off the radio
and all lamps that are not needed.
This will avoid sparks, helping
save both batteries and the radio.
