Getting Started

Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read

this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and

to understand how the system works.

Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe

driving. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of

your vehicle’s owner manual for more information.

Get familiar with your vehicle’s navigation system so

you can use it with less effort and take full advantage of

its features. Your navigation system includes not only

navigation, but also audio functions. While your

vehicle is parked:

• Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard

keys on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen

buttons.

• Familiarize yourself with its operation.

• Set up your audio by presetting your favorite

stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the

speakers. Then, when driving conditions permit,

you can tune to your favorite stations using the

presets and steering wheel controls (if equipped).

• Set up the navigation features that can only be done

before you begin driving, such as entering an

address or a preset destination.

Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires

many steps, so you can only perform these operations

when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice

that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the

alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.

Other functions may also be locked out while driving and

they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but

all functions are available when parked. Some functions

can be performed while driving, as long as you can

do so without diverting too much of your attention from

your driving.

{CAUTION:

This system provides you with a far greater

access to audio stations and song listings.

Giving extended attention to entertainment

tasks while driving can cause a crash and you

or others can be injured or killed. Always keep

your eyes on the road and your mind on the

drive — avoid engaging in extended searching

while driving.

1-4

{CAUTION:

Looking at the moving map on the navigation

screen frequently or for too long while driving

can cause a crash and you or others can be

injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on

the road and avoid looking too long or too often

at the moving map on the navigation screen.

Use the voice guidance directions whenever

possible.

The navigation system allows you to do the following:

• Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route and

map guidance with voice prompts.

• Select a destination using various methods and

choices.

You should always be alert and obey traffic and roadway

laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from

the navigation system. The navigation system uses

street map information that does not include all traffic

restrictions or the latest road changes, it may suggest

using a road that is now closed for construction or a turn

that is prohibited by signs at the intersection. The system

uses limited information, you must always evaluate

whether following the system’s directions is safe and

legal for the current conditions.

Every ﬁfty times the vehicle is started and the navigation

system is turned on, the CAUTION screen will appear.

Touch the Next screen button for the map DVD

information to load. You can also select to change the

language, Eng (English) or Fr (French). See “Language”

under Conﬁgure Menu on page 2-32 for more

information.

When getting started you may set the navigation system

to your preference or delete information you may have

entered using various options. To do so, reference the

following topics.

1-5

At times, such as when you are disposing of your vehicle,

on page 2-9 for deleting the current destination.
