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.

Any route suggestions made by this navigation system

may never override local traffic regulations, your

own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving

practices.

Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation

system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform

a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a

hazardous situation, or route you into an area you

consider unsafe.

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.

1-4

• 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.

• 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.

{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.

1-5

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.

• Receive Radio Data System (RDS) broadcast

announcements.

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. If

the Caution screen appears, touch OK to load the

map DVD information. If OK is not selected, all hard

keys except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST

(Destination) can be accessed. Once the NAV or DEST

hard keys are pressed, this Caution screen will

appear and OK must be pressed to load the map DVD

information from the map disc.

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.

1-6

Language — English/Metric

To change the language of the navigation screens, see

“Driver Information Center, DIC Vehicle Customization”

in the Index of your vehicles owner manual.

To change the navigation screens from English or

and Displays” in the Index of your vehicles owner

manual.

Deleting Personal Information

This navigation system can record and store personal

information such as names and addresses. At times,

such as when you are disposing of your vehicle,

you may want to delete this information. See “Edit

Address Book — Edit/View” under Conﬁgure Menu on

page 2-28 for deleting information from the

address book.

Maps

This section includes basic information that you need to

know about the map database.

The maps are stored on a DVD. The United States,

Canada, and Puerto Rico are contained on one disc.

Detailed Areas

Road network attributes are contained in the map

database for detailed areas. Attributes include

information such as street names, street address, turn

restrictions, etc. A detailed area will include all major

highways, service roads, and residential roads.

The detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such

as: restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police

stations, gas stations, tourist attractions, historical

monuments, etc. The map database may not include

data for newly constructed areas or map database

corrections that are completed after the production of

route guidance in the detailed map areas.

Limited Guidance Areas

Any area that is not classiﬁed as detailed is a limited

guidance area. Limited guidance streets will be

such as the city center POI category, and some street

addresses are included in the limited guidance areas.

The navigation system will inform you by voice prompts

when you are traveling into a limited guidance area

will scroll initially at a slower rate. It will increase if

you continue touching the map screen.

If scrolling while your vehicle is in motion, you have
