Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the
road indicated.
. Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
. The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
. 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
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps032.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.
If the System Needs
Service

Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For 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. If updates are
needed, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order online.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas that previously had limited
detail. See Map Data Updates 051.

52 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel controls or by
touching
gon the infotainment
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches 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
controls, 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 should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
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 ’s manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments. 1. Press
gon the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch
gon the
infotainment display.
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.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
gon
the steering wheel controls
again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, press
gagain and the
beep should happen
right away.

Voice Recognition 53
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.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
options on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
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 touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home Page. Touching
this icon will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching the icon on
the infotainment display.
. Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
con the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated. Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples on the display.
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
infotainment display for example
commands.
. Voice recognition prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
gon the steering
wheel controls again.
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 David 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.”
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, press
qBACK or
SBACK on the center stack,
or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to try again.”

Voice Recognition 55
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The screen returns to the screen
where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say“Back,” press
qBACK
or
SBACK on the center stack,
or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to 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 display. Touch Dismiss
to make the pop-up go away.
Pressing
gon the steering wheel
controls while 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

recognition icon (
g) to launch audio
voice recognition. If the voice icon 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

Voice command option changes
through media content limits are:
.Song files including other
individual files of all media types
such as audiobook chapters,
podcast episodes, and videos.
. Album type folders including
types such as albums and
audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of song files and albums is
less than 4,000. When the number
of song files connected to the
system is between 4,000 and 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play .”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song” must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
4,000 albums, but less than 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like,
“Play .” Thecommand
“Play Album” must first be
spoken; the system will then ask for
the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play.
Once the number of songs has
exceeded approximately 8,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
