• Audio playing does not match the source the radio display is showing.
• Loss of GPS signal indicator appears frequently when driving under overpasses or next to tall buildings or
trucks.
• Low fuel Pop up remains on screen after fueling vehicle and ignition cycle.
• If XM was the last audio source upon start up, the customer may not be able to change volume in XM mode and
the radio may not display volume pop up. In this condition, the XM audio may be audible. Customer can regain
full functionality by switching Bands or restarting radio.

the HVAC pop-up.

track title may be displayed momentarily.

maneuver pop-up screen is closed. After closing the maneuver pop-up screen, the main screen is displayed on
the screen instead of power flow screen. (Chevy Malibu Bas +only)
• Whenever user puts in reverse gear while he/she is in power flow screen, the rear view camera screen will
display on screen. After the user closes this rear view camera screen by putting in forward gear, the main
