Bluetooth
For vehicles equipped with
Bluetooth capability, the system
can interact with many cell phones,
allowing:
. Placement and receipt of calls in
a hands-free mode.
. Sharing of the cell phone ’ s
address book or contact list
with the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle
parked:
. Become familiar with the
features of the cell phone.
Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.
. Review the controls and
operation of the infotainment
and navigation system.
. 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

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
(navigation) 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 are guaranteed
to 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.
