OverviewRead this manual thoroughly tobecome familiar with how thenavigation system operates.

The navigation system includesnavigation and audio functions.

While entering the vehicle or whenturning the vehicle off, some DVDMap Disc noise is normal.

Keeping your eyes on the road andyour mind on the drive is importantfor safe driving. The navigationsystem has built-in features intendedto help keep your eyes on the roadand mind on the drive. Somefeatures may be disabled whiledriving. Note that these functions willbe grayed-out. A grayed-out functionindicates it is not available when thevehicle is moving.

All functions are available when thevehicle is parked. Do the followingbefore driving:

• Become familiar with thenavigation system operation, hardkeys on the faceplate, andtouch-sensitive screen buttons ofthe navigation system.

• Set up the audio by presettingfavorite stations, setting thetone, and adjusting the speakers.

• Set up the navigation featuresbefore beginning driving, such asentering an address or a presetdestination.

• Set up your phone numbers inadvance so they can be calledeasily with the press of a singlebutton or a single voice command(for navigation systems equippedwith phone capability).

4 Infotainment System

{WARNING

Taking your eyes off the road toolong or too often while using thenavigation system could cause acrash resulting in injury or deathto you or others. Focus yourattention on driving.

{WARNING

Avoid looking too long or toooften at the moving map on thenavigation screen. This couldcause a crash and you or otherscan be injured or killed. Use theturn-by-turn voice guidancedirections whenever possible.

Use the navigation system to:

• Follow turn-by-turn route andmap guidance with voice prompts,only if permitted by traffic laws,controls, and conditions.

You should always be alert andobey traffic and roadway laws andinstructions, regardless of theguidance from the navigationsystem. Because the navigationsystem uses street map informationthat does not include all trafficrestrictions or the latest roadchanges, it may suggest using a roadthat is now closed for construction ora turn that is prohibited by signs atthe intersection. Because the systemuses limited information, you mustalways evaluate whether followingthe system’s directions is safe andlegal for the current conditions.

When the navigation system isturned on, a screen may appearwith the information below, and youmust read and acknowledge theinformation it contains.

Global PositioningSystem (GPS)The navigation system determinesthe position of the vehicle byusing satellite signals, variousvehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interferences suchas the satellite condition, roadconfiguration, the condition of thevehicle and/or other circumstancescan interfere with the navigationsystem’s ability to determinethe accurate position of the vehicle.


The GPS shows the current positionof the vehicle using signals sent bythe GPS Satellites of the UnitedStates Department of Defense.When the vehicle is not receivingsignals from the satellites, a symbolappears on the map screen. Refer toNavigation Symbols on page 41.

This system may not be available orinterferences may occur if any of thefollowing is true:

• Signals are obstructed by tallbuildings, trees, large trucks, or atunnel.

• Objects are located on the rearshelf of the vehicle.

• Satellites are being repaired orimproved.

• After-market glass tinting hasbeen applied to the vehicle’s rearwindshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-marketglass tinting to the vehicle’swindows. Glass tinting interfereswith the system’s ability toreceive GPS signals and causesthe system to malfunction.The window might have to bereplaced to correct the problem.This would not be covered bythe warranty.

For more information if the GPS isnot functioning properly, seeProblems with Route Guidance onpage 72 and If the SystemNeeds Service on page 73.

• The tires are worn.

• The first time the map DVD isinserted.

• The battery is disconnected forseveral days.

• The vehicle is driving in heavytraffic where driving is at lowspeeds, and the vehicle isstopped and started repeatedly.

If problems are experienced with thenavigation system, see yourdealer/retailer.
