If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer for
assistance.
Map Data Updates
The map data provided 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 a new Map Update
online. To order map data, have the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) available. See
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
on page 12-1.
After receiving the updated map
data, see
Maps on page 7-46.
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 which previously had limited
detail. See Map Data Updates on
page 7-68 for more information.
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the
infotainment system features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the radio is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 9-18. The system
maintains a minimum volume level.
Using Voice Recognition
1. Pressb/gon the steering
wheel. The audio system mutes.
A voice prompt states, “Please
say a command.” Wait until the
tone is heard before speaking.
If there is no tone, make sure
that the volume is turned up.
While voice recognition is active,
the system displays a
gsymbol
in the top right of the screen.
2. Clearly speak one of the commands listed later in this
section.

Infotainment System 7-69
Pressb/gtwice on the steering
wheel to skip the voice prompt
messages.
Canceling Voice Recognition
1. Press and release$/ion
the steering wheel control to
cancel a command, if the system
response does not match the
voice command, or say
“Goodbye” or“Cancel.”
2. The system replies, “Goodbye.”
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
.When multiple commands are
available, choose the command
that works best for you.
.Words in parentheses are
optional. For example, for the
command“Tune FM
(frequency),” saying“Tune FM
87.7” or“Tune FM” are both
valid commands.
.When the command is
recognized, the system will
either perform the function or
ask to confirm the choice.
.When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says “pardon.”
.If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
.Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned on
high, open windows, and very
loud outside noises, even if the
windows are closed, can cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood.
.The system is able to recognize
commands in different
languages, such as English,
Canadian French, and Spanish.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the
language selected.
.To increase or decrease the
voice volume during a voice
recognition session, turn the
volume knob of the radio,
or press the volume steering
wheel control. If the volume is
adjusted during a voice
recognition session, a Volume
bar appears on the screen
showing the voice volume level
as it is being adjusted. This also
changes the volume of the
guidance prompts.
.When using navigation
commands, take the time to
become familiar with the
address. Long delays when
giving the address can result in
the system not recognizing the
address or routing to different
location than intended.
.When providing the house
number portion of the address,
the system recognizes both digit
format and numerical text. An
example would be to say,
“3-0-0-0-1”or“Thirty
Thousand One.”
