Global Positioning System (GPS) The position of the vehicle is determined by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data. At times, other interference such as the satellite condition, road configuration, condition of the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can affect 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. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. See Navigation Symbols on page 7-46. This system might not be available or interference can occur if any of the following are true: . Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large trucks, or a tunnel.

. Satellites are being repaired or

improved.

For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see Problems with Route Guidance on page 7-67 and If the System Needs Service on page 7-68.

Vehicle Positioning At times, the position of the vehicle on the map could be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:

The road system has changed. The vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow. The vehicle is traveling on winding roads or long straight roads. The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large vehicle. The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.

Chevrolet SS Sedan Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-6014851) - 2014 - 1st Edition - 8/22/13

The vehicle has been transferred by a vehicle carrier or a ferry. The current position calibration is set incorrectly. The vehicle is traveling at high speed. The vehicle changes directions more than once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking 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 the

vehicle. Tire chains have been installed. The tires are replaced or worn. The tire pressure for the tires is incorrect. This is the first navigation use after the map data is updated. The 12-volt battery is disconnected for several days.

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

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

The turn was not made on the road indicated.

. Route guidance might not be

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

. Plural names of places might be

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

Infotainment System 7-67

. Automatic rerouting might

display a route returning to the set waypoint if heading for a destination without passing through a set waypoint. 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 might not be

searched. The route to the destination might not be shown if there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed in the map data. See Maps on page 7-46. To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the map, park with the vehicle running for two to five minutes, until the vehicle position updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in a location that is safe and has a clear view of the sky and away from large obstruction.

If the System Needs Service If the navigation system needs service and the steps listed here have been followed but there are still problems, see your dealer for assistance.

Map Data Updates The map data provided in the vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when the vehicle was produced. The map data is updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed. For 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, www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are needed, call the GM Nav Disc Center or order a new Map Update online. To order map data, have the

vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available. See Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on page 12-1. After receiving the updated map data, see Maps on page 7-46.

Database Coverage Explanations Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system. As the map data is updated, more detail can become available for areas which previously had limited detail. See Map Data Updates on page 7-68 for more information.

Voice Recognition Voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of the infotainment system features. Voice recognition can be used when the radio is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9-18. The system maintains a minimum volume level. Using Voice Recognition 1. Press b / g on the steering

wheel. The audio system mutes. A voice prompt states, “Please say a command.” Wait until the tone is heard before speaking. If there is no tone, make sure that the volume is turned up. While voice recognition is active, the system displays a g symbol in the top right of the screen.

2. Clearly speak one of the

commands listed later in this section.

Chevrolet SS Sedan Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-6014851) - 2014 - 1st Edition - 8/22/13

Press b / g twice on the steering wheel to skip the voice prompt messages. Canceling Voice Recognition 1. Press and release $ / i on the steering wheel control to cancel a command, if the system response does not match the voice command, or say “Goodbye” or “Cancel.”

2. The system replies, “Goodbye.” Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands . When multiple commands are

available, choose the command that works best for you.

. Words in parentheses are

optional. For example, for the command “Tune FM (frequency),” saying “Tune FM 87.7” or “Tune FM” are both valid commands.

Infotainment System 7-69

. When the command is

recognized, the system will either perform the function or ask to confirm the choice. . When the system does not

recognize the command, the system says “pardon.” If experiencing difficulty with the system recognizing a command, confirm that the command is correct. Try saying the command clearly or wait for a brief moment after the tone.

. Background noise such as a

climate control fan positioned on high, open windows, and very loud outside noises, even if the windows are closed, can cause voice commands to be misunderstood. The system is able to recognize commands in different languages, such as English, Canadian French, and Spanish. The system only recognizes commands based on the language selected.

To increase or decrease the voice volume during a voice recognition session, turn the volume knob of the radio, or press the volume steering wheel control. If the volume is adjusted during a voice recognition session, a Volume bar appears on the screen showing the voice volume level as it is being adjusted. This also changes the volume of the guidance prompts.

. When using navigation

commands, take the time to become familiar with the address. Long delays when giving the address can result in the system not recognizing the address or routing to different location than intended.

. When providing the house

number portion of the address, the system recognizes both digit format and numerical text. An example would be to say, “3-0-0-0-1” or “Thirty Thousand One.”
