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.â€
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.
. 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.†If the system provides destination in another country on several attempts, say the “Change Country†command and say the country of interest. The country default is the United States. To enter a destination in
Canada or Mexico, the country will first have to be changed in the system.

Heated Mirrors : If equipped with
heated outside rearview mirrors, the
mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when
the rear window defog button is
pressed. See Heated Mirrors 0 38
Sensors
The automatic climate control
system uses sensors to maintain
temperatures. The solar sensor is
on the instrument panel near the
windshield, and the outside
temperature sensor is in front of the
radiator.
The solar sensor monitors the solar
radiation when operating in AUTO
mode, adjusting the temperature,
fan speed and air delivery.
The system may also supply cooler
air to the side of the vehicle facing
the sun. The recirculation mode will
also be activated, as necessary.
The outside temperature sensor can
be affected by radiant heat when
the vehicle is not moving.
To prevent false temperature
readings, the displayed temperature
will not update at low vehicle
speeds.
If the vehicle has been turned off for
less than four hours, the
temperature at start up will be
recalled from previous operation.
Do not cover the sensors; otherwise
the automatic climate control system
will not work properly.

Quick Cool Down When entering the vehicle on a hot day, open the windows for a short time to allow the hot air to escape.
Automatic Transmission If the vehicle is stopped for a long time in hot weather and the engine is running and the air conditioning is operating, move the shift lever to N (Neutral) or P (Park).
A/C Sound A slight hissing sound when the air conditioning is turned off is normal.
Water Condensation Water may drip from underneath the vehicle; this is normal.
Air Vents
Unsealed Dusty Roads To help prevent dust from entering your vehicle: . When following other vehicles on dusty roads and the dust is airborne, select h. If the dust is not airborne, select outside air and set the fan control to high speed.
. Close all windows. . Do not use recirculation for long
periods of time.
The air outlets have adjustable vanes that move up or down and left or right to change the direction of the airflow. Use the thumbwheels located near the air outlets on the instrument panel to shut off the airflow.

Operation Tips . Clear away any ice, snow,
or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the flow of air into the vehicle.
. Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may adversely affect performance of the system.
. Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside the vehicle more effectively.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter The vehicle has a passenger compartment air filter that filters the outside air entering the vehicle. The filter removes contaminants, such as pollen and dust. See your dealer for more information about filter replacement.
