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 address book or contact list with the vehicle. Not all phones are compatible for contacts list downloading.
• Control of and playback of Pandora and Stitcher applications.
• Audio Streaming.
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 system.
• Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle. The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section.
• See “Storing and Deleting Phone Numbers” in this section.
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.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive
phone calls. The infotainment system and voice recognition are used to control the system. The system can be used
while in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. 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 Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information
about compatible phones.

Voice Recognition
The voice recognition system uses commands to control the system and dial phone numbers.
Noise: The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise.
When to Speak: A tone sounds to indicate that the system is ready for a voice command. Wait for the tone and then
speak.
How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice.
Audio System
When using the Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the
audio system. Use the volume bar during a call to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory
for later calls. The system maintains a minimum volume level.
