XM Not Available: If this message

Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
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.

Black plate (18,1)Chevrolet Volt Owner Manual - 2011
7-18 Infotainment System
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 occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
XM™Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from coast
to coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, 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 XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The antenna
is used for the AM‐FM radio,
OnStar, the XM Satellite Radio
Service System, and GPS (Global
Positioning System), if the vehicle
has these features. Keep the
antenna clear of obstructions
for clear reception.
Audio Players
CD/DVD Player
The player can be used for CD,
MP3, and DVD audio, and as a
DVD video player.
With the vehicle on, insert a
CD/DVD into the slot, label side
up. The player pulls it in and
begins playing. While playing,
the navigation system is available.
The vehicle must be in P (Park) for
video to display.
The DVD player is only compatible
with DVDs of the appropriate region
code printed on the jacket of
most DVDs.

Navigation
Using the Navigation
System
Read this section thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on driving is important for
safe driving. The navigation system
has built-in features intended to
help do this. Some features may be
disabled while driving. A grayed-out
function indicates it is not available
when the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
buttons on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons
of the navigation system.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features
before beginning to drive, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.For vehicles equipped with
phone capability, set up phone
numbers in advance so they
can be called with the press
of a single button or a single
voice command.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.

.Plan a route by selecting a
destination using the various
methods and choices.
.Follow turn-by-turn instructions
and map guidance with voice
prompts, when permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.

announcements.

7-40 Infotainment System
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. Because
the navigation system uses street
map information that does not
include all traffic restrictions or
the latest road changes, it may
suggest using a road that is now
closed for construction or a turn
that is prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, always
evaluate whether following the
system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
Use the buttons on the navigation
system and the available screen
buttons on the navigation screen to
operate the system. SeeOverview
