Getting StartedRead this manual thoroughly to become familiar withhow the navigation system operates.

The navigation system includes navigation and audiofunctions.

While entering the vehicle or when turning the vehicleoff, some DVD Map Disc noise is normal.

Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind onthe drive is important for safe driving. The navigationsystem has built-in features intended to help keepyour eyes on the road and mind on the drive.Some features may be disabled while driving. Note thatthese functions will be grayed-out. A grayed-outfunction indicates it is not available when the vehicleis moving.

1-4

All functions are available when the vehicle is parked.Do the following before driving:• Become familiar with the navigation system

Speed AdvisoryThe Speed Advisory system allows the driver to viewposted speed limits and advisory speed information.This information comes from the navigation map disc.The navigation system only works as well as theinformation provided from that disc. See DatabaseCoverage Explanations on page 2-74 after in thismanual for more information.

The navigation system uses GPS to determine thevehicle’s location within the navigation map disc.This information is then downloaded to the SpeedAdvisory message area, which is located anddisplayed in the DIC or HUD. See “DIC Operation andDisplays” and “Speed Advisory” in the index of thevehicle’s owner manual for more information.

2-70

Global Positioning System (GPS)The navigation system determines the position of thevehicle 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 the vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of theUnited States Department of Defense. When thevehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, asymbol appears on the map screen. Refer to Symbolson page 2-7.

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

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

• Objects are located on the rear shelf of the vehicle.

• 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 interfereswith the system’s ability to receive GPS signals andcauses the system to malfunction. The windowmight have to be replaced to correct the problem.This would not be covered by the warranty.

For more information if the GPS is not functioningproperly, see If the System Needs Service on page 2-74and Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-73.

2-71

Vehicle PositioningAt times, the position of the vehicle on the map may beinaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:

• The road system has changed.

• The vehicle is driving on slippery road surfacessuch as in sand, gravel and/or snow.

• The vehicle is traveling on winding roads.

• The vehicle is on a long straight road.

• The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a largevehicle.

• The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.

• The vehicle has just been transferred by a vehiclecarrier or a ferry.

• The current position calibration is set incorrectly.

• 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 equipped 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.

• The battery is disconnected for several days.

• The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where drivingis at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped andstarted repeatedly.

If these problems are experienced with the system,the system might need to be recalibrated. This may bedue to tire pressure differences, or if a spare tire isinstalled. To calibrate the system, see Configure Menuon page 2-59.

2-72

Problems with Route GuidanceInappropriate route guidance may occur under one ormore of the following conditions:

• The vehicle has not turned onto the road indicated.

• Route guidance may not be available when usingautomatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.

• The route may not be changed when usingautomatic rerouting.

• There is no route guidance when turning at anintersection.

• Plural names of places may be announcedoccasionally.

• It may take a long time to operate automaticrerouting during high-speed driving.

• Automatic rerouting may display a route returning tothe set waypoint if you are heading for a destinationwithout passing through a set waypoint.

• The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to aregulation by time or season or any other regulationwhich may be given.

• Some routes may not be searched.

• The route to the destination may not be shown ifthere are new roads, if roads have recentlychanged or if certain roads are not listed on themap DVD. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-74.

To recalibrate the vehicle’s position on the map, seeConfigure Menu on page 2-59.

If the System Needs ServiceIf the navigation system needs service and the stepslisted here have been followed but there are stillproblems, see your dealer/retailer for assistance.

Ordering Map DVDsThe map DVD in the vehicle is the most up-to-dateinformation available when the vehicle was produced.The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that themap information has changed.

For any questions about the operation of the navigationsystem or the update process, contact the GM NavDisc Center toll-free phone number, 1-877-NAV-DISC(1-877-628-3472) or go to the center’s website,gmnavdisc.com. For any updates or replacements, callthe GM Nav Disc Center or order a new disc online.

Have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) availablewhen ordering to ensure the correct and mostup-to-date DVD map disc for the vehicle is sent.See “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in the Indexof the vehicle’s owner manual for more information.

After receiving the updated disc, replace the old disc inthe navigation system. See “Installing the DVD MapDisc” and “Ejecting the DVD Map Disc” under Maps onpage 2-4. Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusionabout which disc is the most current.
