Bluetooth (Overview)

The Bluetooth-capable system can interact
with many mobile devices, allowing:
Placement and receipt of calls in a
hands-free mode.
Sharing of the device 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
mobile device. 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 mobile device(s) to the vehicle. The
system may not work with all mobile
devices. See Pairing later in this section.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a
Bluetooth-capable mobile device 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 the
ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY. The
range of the Bluetooth system can be up to
9.1 m (30 ft). Not all mobile devices support
all functions and not all mobile devices work
with the Bluetooth system. See my.gmc.com
for more information about compatible
mobile devices.

Audio System
When using the Bluetooth mobile device
system, sound comes through the vehicle's
front audio system speakers and overrides
the audio system. The volume level while on
a mobile device call can be adjusted by
pressing the steering wheel controls or the
volume control on the center stack. The
adjusted volume level remains in memory
for later calls. The volume cannot be
lowered beyond a certain level.

Pairing
A Bluetooth-enabled mobile device must be
