Introduction
Read the following pages to become
familiar with the features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for
too long or too often while using
any infotainment feature can cause
a crash. You or others could be
injured or killed. Do not give
extended attention to infotainment
tasks while driving. Limit your
glances at the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on driving. Use
voice commands whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in
features intended to help avoid
distraction by disabling some features
when driving. These features may gray
out when they are unavailable. Many
infotainment features are also
available through the instrument
cluster and steering wheel controls.

156 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
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
cause static interference in the radio.
Unplug the mobile device or turn it
off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used for
radio, navigation, and OnStar,
depending on the equipped options.
Keep clear of obstructions for clearreception. If the vehicle has a sunroof,
and it is open, reception can also be
affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such as SD
cards, USB devices, and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect system
operation or performance. Avoid use if
the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
The vehicle may be equipped with two
USB ports in the center console under
the armrest. These ports are for data
and charging. There may also be two
USB ports at the rear of the center
console and a USB port on each side
of the third row seats for
charging only.

172 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
If equipped, the position of the vehicle
is determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the vehicle,
and/or other circumstances can affect
the navigation system's ability to
determine the accurate position of the
vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of
the vehicle using signals sent by GPS
satellites. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a
symbol appears in the status bar.
This system might not be available or
interference can occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks, or a
tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.For more information if the GPS is not
functioning properly, see
Problems
with Route Guidance 0172 and
If the System Needs Service 0173.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due to
one or more of the following reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand, gravel,
or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on winding
roads or long, straight roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred by
a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration is
set incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
.The vehicle changes directions more
than once, or the vehicle is turning
on a turn table in a parking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/or
exiting a parking lot, garage, or a lot
with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.
.Tire chains are installed on the
vehicle.
.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use after
the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery has been
disconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is stopped
and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the road
indicated.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 217
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio stations
and adjusting climate control and
seat settings. Program all trip
information into any navigation
device prior to driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is parked to
retrieve items that have fallen to
the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to tend to
children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate carrier
or restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or
on a cell phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.
Refer to the infotainment section for
more information on using that
system and the navigation system,
if equipped, including pairing and
using a cell phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first step
in driving defensively is to wear the
seat belt. See Seat Belts053.
.Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what
they may do and be ready.
.Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in front
of you.
.Focus on the task of driving.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated with
impaired driving is a global tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking alcohol or taking drugs
and then driving is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment can be
affected by even a small amount of
alcohol or drugs. You can have a
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
serious—or even fatal —collision
if you drive after drinking or taking
drugs.
Do not drive while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs,
or ride with a driver who has been
drinking or is impaired by drugs.
Find alternate transportation home;
or if you are with a group, designate
a driver who will remain sober.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control
a vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that
time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h

DRIVING AND OPERATING 291
Warning (Continued)
turning vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB, firmly
press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the brake
pedal is applied quickly by providing a
boost to braking based on the speed
of approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. IBA will
automatically disengage only when
the brake pedal is released.
{Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the flow
of traffic. If this occurs, take your
foot off the brake pedal and then
apply the brakes as needed.AEB and IBA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0130.
{Warning
Using AEB or IBA while towing a
trailer could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and crash.
Turn the system to Alert, or if the
vehicle has ACC to Off, when
towing a trailer.
A system unavailable message may
display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is interfering
with object detection.
.There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system.
The AEB system does not need
service.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an amber
indicator,
~, when a nearby
pedestrian is detected ahead. When
approaching a detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red flashing
alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This
system includes Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA), and the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) system may
also respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
0 290.
The FPB system can detect and alert
to pedestrians in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime
driving, the system detects
pedestrians up to a distance of
approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance
