Global Positioning System (GPS)The navigation system determines the position of yourvehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicleand/or other circumstances can interfere with thenavigation system’s ability to determine the accurateposition of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of your vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of theUnited States Department of Defense. When yourvehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites,a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 2-8.

This system may not be available or interferences mayoccur if any of the following are true:

• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, largetrucks, or a tunnel.

• Objects are located on the rear shelf.

• Satellites are being repaired or improved.

• After-market glass tinting has been applied to thevehicle’s rear windshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting tothe vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interferewith the system’s ability to receive GPS signals andcause the system to malfunction. You might haveto replace the window to correct the problem.This would not be covered by your warranty.

For more information if you are experiencing a problem,see If the System Needs Service on page 2-41 andProblems with Route Guidance on page 2-41.

• The vehicle is traveling at high speed.

• The vehicle changes directions more than once, orwhen the vehicle is turning on a turn table in aparking 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 your vehicle.

• The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.

• The tires are replaced.

• The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect.

• The tires are worn.

• The first time the map DVD is inserted.

Section 4 Voice Recognition

4-1

Voice RecognitionThe navigation system’s voice recognition allows forhands-free operation of the navigation system,audio system, and OnStar® features. The DVD mapdisc must be installed in the navigation system for voicerecognition to work. See “Installing the DVD Map Disc”under Maps on page 2-4. Voice recognition can be usedwhen the ignition is on or when Retained AccessoryPower (RAP) is active. See “Retained AccessoryPower (RAP)” in the Index of your vehicle’s ownermanual and for more information.

To use voice recognition, do the following:

1. Push and hold the g (talk) steering wheel controluntil you hear a beep. The audio system, if on,will mute.

2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on thefollowing 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, statingRadio FM or Radio select FM are both validcommands.

• When the system recognizes the command thesystem will:

− either perform the function− ask you to confirm 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 responsedoes not match your verbal command, press andhold the talk symbol button. The system will reply,“System will cancel the voice recognition”.

• If you experience difficulty with the systemrecognizing a command, try saying it more softly, andwait for a few seconds after the beep, or you may justtry saying it again.

• Background noise may cause voice commands to bemisunderstood, including airflow noise from wind.

• To use the voice recognition system, the map DVDmust be loaded.

This system is able to recognize commands in threedifferent languages. The system will only recognizecommands based on the language selected from theDriver Information Center (DIC). See “Driver InformationCenter, DIC Vehicle Personalization” in the Index ofyour vehicles owner manual.

Voice Recognition CommandsThe following list shows all of the voice commandsavailable for the navigation system with a briefdescription of each. The commands are listed with theoptional words in brackets. To use the voice commands,refer to the instructions listed previously.

Voice Tag CommandsThe following are voice tag commands you can accessby clearly stating the commands exactly as they arewritten. You may have up to 40 voice tag entries fordestinations.
