Map Disc” and “Ejecting the
page 38. Dispose of the old disc

updated periodically, provided that
the map information has changed.

Bluetooth® and OnStar® functions
will work without the map DVD
inserted. See Bluetooth® and
OnStar® in the index of the vehicle’s
owner manual.

To use radio voice recognition:
At times, the system may not
understand a spoken command.
If this happens, try again. If a
spoken command is not available,
the system provides feedback based
on availability.
Voice Tag Commands
1. Push and hold the SRCE
(source) button on the steering
wheel controls, if equipped,
or the AUDIO button on the radio
faceplate. A beep will be heard
and the audio system mutes.
The following are voice tag
commands that can be accessed
by clearly stating the commands
exactly as they are written. There
can be up to 40 voice tag entries
for destinations.
While using voice recognition,
make sure to keep interior noise
levels to a minimum. Otherwise,
the system might not recognize
voice commands.
2. Clearly state one of the
commands listed on the following
pages. For example, say
“Radio Select FM” or just say,
“Radio FM”.
Navigation go to [destination],
navigation select: These
commands instruct the system to
select a destination saved under
the stored voice tag. The system
prompts for a destination name then
waits for the name to be stated.
The system recognizes commands
spoken in English, Spanish, or
French depending on the global
language setting in the vehicle.
See the vehicle’s owner manual for
details about changing languages.
3. The system tells you the
command being implemented.
For example, the system
says “Radio Select FM” and
changes the audio system to
the FM source.
If you are not currently driving on a
route, the system automatically
creates the voice tag destination
as the final destination. If you are
currently driving on a route, the
system automatically creates the
voice tag destination as a stopover.
Up to three stopovers can be
created.
Voice Recognition Commands
You may end voice recognition by
not speaking any commands or
by pressing the SRCE button again.
After about five seconds of
silence, the system automatically
cancels voice recognition.
The following list shows all of the
voice commands available for the
navigation system with a brief
description of each. The commands
are listed with the optional words
in brackets. To use the voice
commands, refer to the instructions
listed previously.
