Infotainment; Theft-Deterrent Feature - GMC 2016 Sierra Owner's Manual

Introduction

Infotainment

Base radio information is included in
this manual. See the infotainment
manual for information on other
available infotainment systems.
Read the following pages to
become familiar with these features.
Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for
too long or too often while using
any infotainment feature can
cause a crash. You or others
could be injured or killed. Do not
give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving.
Limit your glances at the vehicle
displays and focus your attention
on driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in
features intended to help avoid
distraction by disabling some
functions when driving. These
functions may gray out when they
are unavailable. Many infotainment
features are also available through
the instrument cluster and steering
wheel controls.
Before driving:
Become familiar with the
operation, faceplate buttons, and
screen buttons.
Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily by pressing a single
button or by using a single voice
command if equipped with
Bluetooth phone capability.
See Defensive Driving 0 258.
To play the infotainment system with
the ignition off, see Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0 281.
