GM Bluetooth for Phone Quick Start Guide General Information ■
GM vehicles equipped with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands Free Profile to make and receive phone calls.
■
Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. For phone-specific instructions and compatibility information go to www.gm.com/bluetooth.
■
The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.
■
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.
■
The system can be used while the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position.
■
The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 10 meters.
Accessing the Bluetooth Voice Recognition Menu The process for accessing the Voice Recognition menu will depend upon the GM model and whether it’s equipped with an onboard navigation system. Use the chart below to find the method for accessing the Voice Recognition menu. You have successfully entered the Voice Recognition menu when the system responds with “Ready.” The Bluetooth control buttons are located on the steering wheel on most GM models.
