Traffic Options Read the following Options descriptions to understand how the XM NavTraffic™ operates. XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada) Vehicles with the navigation system have an XM NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio. XM NavTraffic™ provides real-time traffic information fully integrated to the navigation system to display current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route. XM NavTraffic™ allows drivers to make the most informed, timesaving routing decisions. If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if an attempt is made to turn on the traffic display in the Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription, a Caution screen displays indicating that XM traffic is not activated.

Three types of traffic information for major roadways are displayed on the navigation system:

. Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as

accidents and disabled vehicles

. Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road

construction and road closures Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)

Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes it possible for the navigation system to provide continuously updated traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.

Global Positioning System (GPS) The navigation system determines the position of the vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data. At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle. The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 5‑17. This system may not be available or interferences may occur if any of the following are true:

. Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large

trucks, or a tunnel.

. Objects are located on the front dash of the

vehicle.

. Satellites are being repaired or improved. . After-market glass tinting has been applied to the

vehicle's windshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to the vehicle's windows. Glass tinting interferes with the system's ability to receive GPS signals and causes the system to malfunction. The window might have to be replaced to correct the problem. This would not be covered by the warranty. For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see If the System Needs Service on page 5‑59 and Problems with Route Guidance on page 5‑58 . Vehicle Positioning At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:

. Road system has changed. . Vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as

in sand, gravel, and/or snow.

. Vehicle is traveling on winding roads. . Vehicle is on a long straight road. . Vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large

vehicle.

. Surface streets run parallel to a freeway. . Vehicle has just been transferred by a vehicle

carrier or a ferry.

. Current position calibration is set incorrectly.

5-57

. Vehicle is traveling at high speed. . Vehicle changes directions more than once,

or when the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking lot.

. Vehicle is entering and/or exiting a parking lot or a

garage.

. GPS signal is not received. . Roof carrier is installed on the vehicle. . Vehicle is being driven with tire chains.

Tires are replaced. Tire pressure for the tires is incorrect. Tires are worn. First time the map DVD is inserted.

. Battery is disconnected for several days. . Vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where driving is at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.

See your dealer if other problems occur.

Problems with Route Guidance Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one or more of the following conditions:

. You have not turned onto the road indicated. . Route guidance may not be available when using

automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn. The route may not be changed when using automatic rerouting. There is no route guidance when turning at an intersection.

. Plural names of places may be announced

occasionally. It may take a long time to operate automatic rerouting during high-speed driving.

. Automatic rerouting may display a route returning

to the set stopover if you are heading for a destination without passing through a set stopover. The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given.

. Some routes may not be searched.

The route to the destination may not be shown if there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed on the map DVD. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 5‑59.

To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the map, see your dealer. If the System Needs Service If your system needs service and you have followed the steps listed here and still are experiencing problems, see your dealer for assistance. Ordering Map DVDs The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when your vehicle was produced. The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed. If you have any questions about the operation of the navigation system or the update process, contact the GM Nav Disc Center toll‐free phone number, 1‐877‐NAV‐DISC (1‐877‐628‐3472) or go to the center's website, gmnavdisc.com. If you need any updates or a replacement disc, because the current disc is lost, damaged, or needs to be updated, call the GM Nav Disc Center or order a new disc online. To order a disc, have your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available.

This helps the center make sure you receive the correct and most up-to-date DVD map disc for your vehicle. See “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information. After receiving the updated disc, replace the old disc in the navigation system. See “Installing the DVD Map Disc” and “Ejecting the DVD Map Disc” under Maps on page 5‑14 . Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusion about which disc is the most current. Database Coverage Explanations Coverage area depends upon the map detail available. Some areas have greater map detail than others. The navigation system works only as well as the information provided on the map disc. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 5‑59 on how to obtain updated map information.

Navigation Audio System Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can be added by checking with your dealer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment can be added, it is very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added. Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts, parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work. Make sure that replacement or additional equipment is compatible with the vehicle before installing it. See “Accessories and Modifications” in the vehicle's owner manual.

Using an MP3 CD MP3 Format There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3 disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a CD-R(W), the CD may not play. The guidelines are:

. Sampling rate: 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,

and 44.1 kHz.

. Bit rates supported: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,

128, 160, 192, 224, 256, and 320 kbps. ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0, v1.1, or v2.0. The radio will display a filename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.

. Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a file

or folder name.

. Maximum number of folders is 100 with a

maximum hierarchy of eight folders.

. Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find

songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less.

It is recommended that there is a maximum of 192 files on a disc. The files can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with a maximum capacity of 700MB.
