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

buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in
and out. In addition, traveling or standing

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

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 multi-band roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems, depending on the
equipped options. To ensure clear reception,
keep the antenna clear of obstructions, such
as snow and ice. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, or a roof loaded
with cargo, reception may be affected.

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.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, Google Assistant allows for
hands-free use of media and messaging,
navigation, and climate control functionality
in the vehicle. This feature can be started by
pressing
gon the steering wheel, touching
Google Assistant on the infotainment home
screen, or by using the wake up words “Hey
Google” or“OK Google.”
However, not all features within these areas
are supported by voice commands and
requires the user to have a valid data
subscription plan or be able to connect to
an external WiFi in order to use the Google
Assistant features.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available once
the system is initialized. This begins when
the vehicle is turned on. Initialization may
take a few moments. 1. Press
gon the steering wheel controls,
touch Google Assistant on the Home
screen, or use the wake up words “Hey
Google” or“OK Google” to activate voice
recognition. Google Assistant must be set
as the Default Assistant for the
gand
the wake word options to work.
2. Clearly speak one of the commands described later in this section.
Canceling Google Assistant
.Presscon the steering wheel controls
to cancel the Google Assistant request.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition identifies commands that
are naturally stated in sentence form,
or direct commands that state the
application and the task.
For best results:
.Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow.
.Use direct commands without a lot of
extra words. For example, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or
song name, or “Play”followed by the
radio station number. Direct commands are more clearly
understood by the system. An example of a
direct command is
“Call .”
If a cell phone number was saved with a
name and a place, the direct command
should include both. For example “Call
at work.”
Voice Recognition for the Radio
When voice is started, the voice recognition
commands for AM, FM, SiriusXM (if
equipped), and media apps (if supported) are
available.
“Play AM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Play FM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “one oh one point one”).
“Play channel on
SiriusXM” :Tune to the SiriusXM radio
station channel number identified in the
command. This command may require an
online connection.
“Play on Sirius XM” :
Tune to the SiriusXM radio station channel
name identified in the command. This
command may require an online connection.
