Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may
have to change the selected region to represent
the area you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination
when traveling across regions.
The following method is suggested and provides
the most route guidance and map display
functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when
you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps
on page 271.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. See
Enter Destination on page 259for more
information.
If you do not want to use the rst method, keep
your currently selected search area region
and enter your destination. This method allows
you only to select a destination from the easy
planning route method or from the All Points of
Interest (POI) categories with the “All Search
Areas” comment for US Only. For example, Touristis a category that features this comment. See
Enter Destination on page 259for more
information.
If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross
the regional border, the only map scale views
available are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km,
16 km, 64 km and 256 km). Change the selected
search area region when you get closer to the area
you are traveling to. See “Setting the Search
Area” underMaps on page 271for more
information.
Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2
will display on the screen. A message will not
appear on the screen if the driver is unknown. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or driver 2. The navigation system
can store memory points for drivers 1 and
2 individually. SeeKeyless Access System on
page 67for more information.

OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio
system will be muted and the navigation voice
prompts will be disabled during the call. The
volume of the OnStar
®call can be adjusted by
using the steering wheel volume controls.
SeeOnStar
®System on page 107for more
information.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The Navigation System determines the position of
your vehicle by using satellite signals, various
vehicle signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellite
condition, road conguration, the condition of
the vehicle and/or other circumstances can
interfere with the Navigation’s ability to determine
the accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of your
vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of
the United States Department of Defense.
When your vehicle is not receiving signals from
the satellites, a symbol will appear on the
map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 275.This system may not be available or interference
may occur if the following happens:
Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings,
large trucks, tunnels,
objects located on top of the instrument panel,
satellites will not send signals if they are
being repaired or improved,
after-market glass tinting has been applied to
the vehicle’s windows.
Notice:Do not apply after-market glass tinting
to the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will
interfere with the system’s ability to receive
GPS signals and cause the system to
malfunction. You might have to replace the
window to correct the problem. This would not
be covered by your warranty.
For more information if you are experiencing a
problem, seeIf the System Needs Service
on page 283andProblems with Route Guidance
on page 283.

Ordering Map DVDs
You will receive two free DVD map disc updates
with the purchase of your new vehicle. Updates
are necessary to make sure that your vehicle’s
navigation system has the most accurate
information available about streets/roads, points of
interest, and business locations.
The updates are provided by the GM Nav Disc
Center at the rst and second anniversary dates of
your vehicle’s delivery date. About four to six weeks
before those anniversary dates, you will receive a
post card from the GM Nav Disc Center reminding
you that a free update is available. The center will
request conrmation of your mailing address either
by having you contact the toll-free number,
1–877–NAV–DISC (1–877–628–3472), or the
center’s website, www.gmnavdisc.com. After
verifying your address you should receive the
updated disc in about two weeks. 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” underMaps
on page 271. Dispose of the old disc to avoid
confusion about which disc is the most current.If you have any questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update process,
call the GM Nav Disc Center or go to the center’s
website. If you need any future updates or a
replacement disc, because the current disc is lost,
damaged, or needs to be updated, call the GM
Nav Disc Center or order a new disc online.
To order a disc, have your Vehicle Identication
Number (VIN) available. This helps the center
make sure you receive the correct and most up to
date DVD map disc for your vehicle. See
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN) on page 451
for more information.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of
map detail available for any given area. Some
areas will feature greater levels of detail than
others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a
problem with the system. As the map DVD is
updated, more detail may become available for
areas which previously had limited detail. See
Ordering Map DVDs on page 284.

Navigation Audio System
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment
to your vehicle, such as an audio system,
CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone,

added by checking with your dealer. Also,
check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be
added, it is very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or
other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has
been added.
