Satellite Radio
SiriusXM Radio Service
If equipped, vehicles with a valid
SiriusXM radio subscription can
receive SiriusXM programming.
SiriusXM radio has a wide variety of
programming and commercial-free
music, coast to coast, in digital-quality
sound. In the U.S., see
www.siriusxm.com or call
1-888-601-6296. In Canada, see
www.siriusxm.ca or call
1-877-438-9677.
When SiriusXM is active, the channel
name, number, song title, and artist
appear on the display.
SiriusXM with 360L
SiriusXM with 360L interface has
enhanced in-vehicle listening
experience for subscribers. The
experience now offers more categories
and system learned recommendations
toward discovering more personalized
content.To use the full SiriusXM 360L
program, including streaming content
and listening recommendations,
OnStar Connected Access is required.
Connected vehicle services vary by
model and require a complete working
electrical system, cell reception, and
GPS signal. An active connected plan
is required.
Reference the SiriusXM user guide for
use and subscription information.
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
If equipped, 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.
Some cellular services may interfere
with SXM reception causing loss of
signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making
or receiving calls, charging, or just
having the mobile device on may

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.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
gagain.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections
and visual dialog content. These
displays can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under Settings0176. There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
.Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the supported
actions.
.Short prompts: This type of prompt
will provide simple instructions
about what can be stated.
.Auto informative prompts: This type
of prompt plays during the first few
speech sessions, then automatically
switches to the short prompt after
some experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually
touching the option, or by speaking
the number for the option to select.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session may be completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a task. If a
selection is made using a manual
control, the voice recognition dialog
will progress in the same way as if the
selection were made using a voice
command. Once the system completes
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

“Cancel”or“Exit ”to
terminate the voice recognition
session and show the display where
