For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system 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 for more information.

• If the cell phone has voice dialing capability, learn to use that feature to access the address book or contact list. See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for more information.

• See “Storing and Deleting Phone Numbers” 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 (navigation) 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 while in ON/RUN or 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. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information about compatible phones.

• “Save”
• “Delete”
• “Directory”
• “Pair”
• “Select device”

Frequently Used Commands

Here is a list of frequently used commands:

• “Help”: the dialogue is terminated and all commands available in the current context are enumerated.

• “Cancel”: the voice control is deactivated.

• “Yes”: a suitable action is triggered depending on the context.

• “No”: a suitable action is triggered depending on the context.

Voice Feedback

Each voice input is answered or commented on by the infotainment system by way of a voice output that is adapted to the situation.

To switch the voice output on or off, enter “Voice feedback” or press the button.

Pairing, Saving, or Deleting Phone From Device List

With the command “Pair” a mobile phone can be saved to or deleted from the device list of the UHP system. A device number will be assigned by the UHP system to the mobile phone when it is paired.

Available commands:
• “Add”
• “Delete”
• “Help”
• “Cancel”

Example of a Dialogue

User: “Pair.”.

Voice output: “Do you want to add or delete a device?”.

User: “Add.”.

Voice output: “Using the pair function in the external device, enter <1234> to pair.”

(At this time, start the pairing process on the mobile phone that will be paired to the vehicle.

Reference the mobile phone manufacturer's user guide for information on this process. Locate the device named UHP followed by a four-digit number in the list on the mobile phone and follow the instructions on the mobile phone and enter the four-digit code provided by the system.).

Voice output: “Do you want to pair the device?”.

User: “Yes.”.

Voice output: “Paired, ending session.”

Selecting Phone from Device List

The “Select device” command can be used to select a different paired mobile phone. The UHP system asks for a device number that was assigned by the UHP system to the mobile phone when it was paired.

Example of a Dialogue

User: “Select device.”.

Voice output: “Please, say a device number to select.”.

User: “device number.”.

Voice output: “Do you want to select the device number “device number.”.

(The device name appears on the infotainment display screen).

User: “Yes.”.

Voice output: “One moment please, the system searches for the selected device.”.

Voice output: “Device number “device number” is selected, ending session.”.

Telephone Number Dialing

After the “Dial” command, the voice control requests input of a number.

The telephone number must be spoken in your normal speech without any artificial pauses between the numbers.

Recognition is best, if a pause of at least half a second is made after every three to five digits. The infotainment system then repeats the numbers recognized.

Available Commands:

• “Dial”: the inputs are accepted.

• “Digit”: a numeric value between “0-9” is entered.

• “Delete”: the number last entered or the block of numbers last entered is deleted.

• “Plus”: a preceding “+” is entered for a call abroad.

• “Verify”: the inputs are repeated by the voice output.

• “Asterisk”: an asterisk “*” is entered.

• “Hash”: a hash character “#” is entered.

• “Pause”: a pause is entered into the character sequence.

• “Help”.

• “Cancel”.

The telephone number entered can have a maximum length of 25 digits.

To be able to make a call abroad you can say the word “Plus” (+) at the beginning of your number. The plus allows you to call from any country without knowing the prefix for calls made abroad in that country. Then say the required country code.

Example of a Dialogue

User: “Dial.”.

Voice output: “Please, say the number to dial.”.

User: “Plus four nine.”.

User: “Seven three one.”.

Voice output: “Seven three one.”.

User: “One one nine nine.”.

Voice output: “One one nine nine.”.

User: “Dial.”.

Voice output: “The number is being dialled.”

Making a Call Using Name Tag

When the “Call” command is used, a telephone number is entered that has been stored in the telephone book as a name tag.

Available commands:
• “Yes”
• “No”
• “Help”
• “Cancel”

Example of a Dialogue

User: “Call.”.

Voice output: “Please, say the name tag to call.”.

(for name tag information, see “Saving a Name Tag” later in this section).

User:”Name tag.“.

Voice output: “Seven three one.”.

User: “Yes.”.

Voice output: “Calling.”

Starting a Second Call

Press the button to start a second call during an active telephone call.

Available commands:
• “Send”: activate manual DTMF (touch-tone dialling), e.g. for voice mail or telephone banking.
• “Send name tag”: activate DTMF (touch-tone dialling) by entering a name tag.
• “Dial”
• “Call”
• “Re-dialing”
• “Help”
• “Cancel”

Example of a Dialogue

User: Press the button if a telephone call is active.

User: “Send.”.

Voice output: “Please, say the number to send.”.

(for number input information, see the dialogue example for “Making a Call Using a Telephone Number” earlier in this section).

User: “Send.”.

Re-dialing

The “Re-dialing” command re-dials the last number dialed.

Saving a Name Tag

The “Save” command is used to store a telephone number in the telephone book under as a name tag.

The name entered must be repeated once. The pitch and pronunciation must be as identical as possible for both name inputs, otherwise the voice control will reject the inputs.

A maximum of 50 name tags can be stored in the telephone book.

Name tags are speaker-dependent, i.e. only the person who recorded a name tag can open it. To avoid the start of the recording of a saved name from being cut off, a short pause should be left after an input request.

To be able to use the name tag independently of the location, i.e.

including other countries, all telephone numbers should be entered with a “plus” character and a country code.

Available commands:
• “Save”: the inputs are accepted.
• “Re-dialing”: the last input is repeated.
• “Help”
• “Cancel”

Example of a Dialogue

User: “Save.”.

Voice output: “Please, say the number to save.”.

User: Say number to save.

(for number input information, see the dialogue example for “Making a Call Using a Telephone Number” earlier in this section).
