Reading Lamps If equipped with reading lamps, press the button next to each lamp to turn it on or off. The vehicle may also have reading lamps in other locations. The lamps cannot be adjusted.

Lighting Features

Entry/Exit Lighting The vehicle has an illuminated entry/exit feature. The dome lamps come on if the E DOME OFF button is in the extended position, when a door is opened, or the key is removed from the ignition.

Battery Load Management The vehicle may have Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle

has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to

generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. If this messages displays, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Battery Voltage and Charging Messages on page 5-29.

Infotainment System

AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels during the day, and then reduce these levels during the night. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio. FM Stereo FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals reach only about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. Cellular Phone Usage Cellular phone usage may cause interference with the radio. This interference may occur when making or receiving phone calls,

If the mast becomes slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it. Make sure there is sufficient clearance when entering garages or parking structures. Occasionally check to make sure the antenna is tightened to its base. If tightening is required, tighten by hand.

charging the phone's battery, or simply having the phone on. This interference causes an increased level of static while listening to the radio. If static is received while listening to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.

Fixed Mast Antenna (Multi-Band) The multi-band antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used for the Navigation System, OnStar® and the SiriusXM® Satellite Radio Service System if the vehicle has these features. Tall buildings, hills, trees, heavy foliage, tunnels, bridges, and garages will affect reception. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception. Make sure there is sufficient clearance when entering garages or parking structures.

. Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.

The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section for more information. If the cell phone has voice dialing capability, learn to use that feature to access the address book or contact list. See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for more information.

. See “Storing and Deleting Phone

Numbers” in this section for more information.

{ Warning

When using a cell phone, it can be distracting to look too long or too often at the screen of the phone or the infotainment system. Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving.

A Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the key is in the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones. Voice Recognition The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags. For additional information, say “Help” while you are in a voice recognition menu. Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise.

Infotainment System 7-21

When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak. How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice. Audio System When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the audio system. Use the audio system volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned down too low. Bluetooth Controls Use the buttons on the steering wheel to operate the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See Steering Wheel Controls on page 5-2.

Pairing Information . A Bluetooth phone with MP3
capability cannot be paired to the vehicle as a phone and an MP3 player at the same time. . Up to five cell phones can be

paired to the Bluetooth system.

The pairing process is disabled when the vehicle is moving.

. Pairing only needs to be

completed once, unless the pairing information on the cell phone changes or the cell phone is deleted from the system.

. Only one paired cell phone can be connected to the Bluetooth system at a time. If multiple paired cell phones are within range of the system, the system connects to the first available paired cell phone in the order that they were first paired to the system. To connect to a different paired phone, see “Connecting to a Different Phone” later in this section.

Pairing a Phone 1. Press and hold b / g for

two seconds.

5. Locate the device named “Your

Vehicle” in the list on the cell phone. Follow the instructions on the cell phone to enter the PIN provided in Step 3. After the PIN is successfully entered, the system prompts you to provide a name for the paired cell phone. This name will be used to indicate which phones are paired and connected to the vehicle. The system responds with “ has been successfully paired” after the pairing process is complete.

6. Repeat Steps 1–5 to pair

additional phones.
