Bluetooth
For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system can interact with many cell phones, allowing:
To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked:
Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.
The system may not work with all cell phones. See "Pairing" 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.
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.
(Call/Mute): Press to answer incoming calls, confirm system information, and start speech recognition.
(End Call): Press to end a call, reject a call, or cancel an operation.
Pairing
A Bluetooth-enabled cell phone must be paired to the Bluetooth system and then connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See the cell phone manufacturer's user guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing the cell phone. If a Bluetooth phone is not connected, calls will be made using OnStar Hands-Free Calling, if equipped. See "OnStar," if equipped.
Pairing Information
Pairing a Phone
For help with this process, see the cell phone manufacturer's user guide.
This name will be used to indicate which phones are paired and connected to the vehicle. The system responds with "<phone name> has been successfully paired" after the pairing process is complete.
Listing All Paired and Connected Phones
The system can list all cell phones paired to it. If a paired cell phone is also connected to the vehicle, the system responds with "is connected" after that phone name.
Deleting a Paired Phone
If the phone name you want to delete is unknown, see "Listing All Paired and Connected Phones."
Connecting to a Different Phone
To connect to a different cell phone, the Bluetooth system looks for the next available cell phone in the order in which all available cell phones were paired. Depending on which cell phone you want to connect to, you may have to use this command several times.
