2012 Buick LaCrosse Navigation System

90 Infotainment System
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas which previously had limited
detail. See Ordering Map DVDs on
page 89 for more information.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system's voice
recognition allows for hands free
operation of the navigation system
and the audio system features.
Voice recognition only works if
the map database is installed in
the system.
If the radio is off, the only
commands would be Hands Free
and Help.
Navigation voice commands are not
available until the OK button has
been selected.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See “Retained Accessory Power
RAP” in the index of the vehicle's
owner manual for more information.
Using Voice Recognition
1. For U.S. and Canada, press and
hold the _ SRC ^ steering wheel
control button. For Mexico, press
and release the b / g steering
wheel control button. The audio
system mutes, and a beep is
heard. A voice prompt stating,
“Please start speaking after the
beep” might be heard.
If there is no beep, make sure
that the voice volume setting is
not turned down. See
“Navigation Settings” under
Using the Navigation System on
page 51 for more information.
While voice recognition is active,
the system displays a g symbol.
2. Clearly speak one of the
commands listed later in this
section.
