Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar
®features. The DVD map
disc must be installed in the navigation system for voice
recognition to work. See “Installing the DVD Map
Disc” underMaps on page 2-4. Voice recognition can
be used when the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See “Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)” in the Index of your vehicle’s
owner manual and for more information.
To use voice recognition, do the following:
1. Push and hold the SRCE (source) steering wheel
control until you hear a beep. The audio system,
if on, will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages.
Helpful Hints for Stating Commands

When a multiple command is available, choose the
command that best works for you.
Words that are in brackets are optional. For example,
for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating
Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid
commands.
When the system recognizes the command the
system will:
either perform the function
ask you to conrm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
issue an error message such as “System does
not recognize this command” or direct you to
“Please start speaking after the beep”
If the system is not yet ready, the system may state
“System is checking the disc. Please wait”.
To cancel a command or if the system response
does not match your verbal command, press and
hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply,
“System will cancel the voice recognition”.

If you experience difficulty with the system
recognizing a command, try saying it more softly, and
wait for a few seconds after the beep, or you may just
try saying it again.
Background noise may cause voice commands to be
misunderstood, including airow noise from wind.
To use the voice recognition system, the map DVD
must be loaded.
This system is able to recognize commands in three
different languages. The system will only recognize
commands based on the language selected from the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Driver Information
Center, DIC Vehicle Personalization” in the Index of
your vehicles owner manual.
