Bluetooth (Overview)

Instructions for using the cell phone
may differ between infotainment
systems. The base radio and base
radio with touchscreen instructions
are included in this manual. See the
infotainment manual for instructions
on the uplevel radios.
Bluetooth-capable systems 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
system.
Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.
The system may not work with
all cell phones. See Pairing in
this section.
If the cell phone has voice
dialing capability, learn to use
that feature to access the
address book or contact list.
See Deleting a Bluetooth
Device 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 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
with the ignition on or in 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. For U.S.
and Canada only, see www.gm.com/
bluetooth for more information about
compatible phones.
