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 the vehicle has them.

• 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.

1-4

{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.

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.

• Receive RDS broadcast announcements.

The information in the system may not always be complete. Road conditions such as prohibited turns, detours, and construction zones, change frequently. It is important to consider whether you can follow the directions given by the system for the current conditions.

1-5

When getting started you may set the navigation system to your preference using various options. To do so, reference the following topics:

Language — English/Metric Units

To change the language of the navigation screens, see “Driver Information Center, DIC Vehicle Customization” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual.

To change the navigation screens from English or metric, see “Driver Information Center, DIC Controls and Displays” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual.

Every ﬁfty times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Caution screen will appear. If the Caution screen appears, select OK to load the map DVD information.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Navigation System determines the position of your vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road conﬁguration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the Navigation’s ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of your vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States Department of Defense. When your vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 2-6.

This system may not be available or interference may occur if the following happens:

• Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, large

trucks, tunnels,

• objects located on top of the instrument panel,

• satellites will not send signals if they are being

repaired or improved,

• after-market glass tinting has been applied to the

vehicle’s windows.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and cause the system to malfunction. You might have to replace the window to correct the problem. This would not be covered by your warranty.

For more information if you are experiencing a problem, see If the System Needs Service on page 2-36 and Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-35.

• The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.

• The tires are replaced.

• The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect.

• The tires are worn.

• The ﬁrst time the map DVD is inserted.

• The battery is disconnected for several days.

• The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where driving

is at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.

If you experience problems with your system, see your dealer.

2-35

• Plural names of places may be announced

occasionally.

• It may take a long time to operate automatic

rerouting during high-speed driving.

• Automatic rerouting may display a route returning to

the set stopover if you are heading for a destination without passing through a set stopover.

• The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a

regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given.

• Some routes may not be searched.

• The route to the destination may not be shown if

there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed on the map DVD. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-36.

If the System Needs Service

If your system needs service and you have followed the steps listed here and still are experiencing problems, see your dealer for assistance.

Ordering Map DVDs

The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when your vehicle was purchased. The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed. To order a new map DVD, contact your dealer.

Database Coverage Explanations

Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas will feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system. As the map DVD is updated, more detail may become available for areas which previously had limited detail.

• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of

programming

• Receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies

• Display messages from radio stations

This system relies on receiving speciﬁc information from these stations and will only work when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

The RDS system is always on. When information is broadcast from the FM station you are listening to, the station name or call letters will be displayed on the audio screen. RDS may provide a program type (PTY) for current programming and the name of the program being broadcasted.

CD Player

The player can be used for CDs and MP3s.

With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in and the CD should begin playing. The navigation system can be used while playing a CD.

When you insert a CD with the radio on, the CD tab will display.

3-10

If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the ignition or radio, the CD will start playing where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

As each new track starts to play, the track number will appear on the display.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 in (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.

If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in ﬁnding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see “Care of Your CDs” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.

Notice: If you add any label to a CD, insert more than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could damage the CD player. When using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD with a soft marker instead.

If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages” later in this section.

If viewing a map screen, touch the CD screen button. The display will split between the audio screen and the map screen. If you do not want to view a split screen or you are not on a map screen, press the AUDIO key, then press the AUDIO key until CD is selected or touch the CD screen button.

Using an MP3 CD

MP3 Format

There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3 disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a CD-R(W), the CD may not play. The guidelines are:

• Sampling rate: 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,

and 44.1 kHz.

• Bit rates supported: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,

128, 160, 192, 224, 256, and 320 kbps.

• ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is

available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0 or v1.1. The radio will display a ﬁlename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.

• Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a ﬁle or

folder name.

• Maximum number of folders is 253 with a maximum

hierarchy of eight folders.

• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to ﬁnd

songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less.

• It is recommended that there is a maximum of

192 ﬁles on a disc.

• The ﬁles can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with

a maximum capacity of 700MB.

• DVD with MP3 are not playable on this system.

Root Directory

The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory will be displayed as ROOT. All ﬁles contained directly under the root directory will be accessed prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always be accessed before root folders or ﬁles.

Empty Directory or Folder

If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player will advance to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that contains compressed audio ﬁles and the empty folder will not be displayed or numbered.

3-13

No Folder

When the CD contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles will be located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions will have no function on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the folder the radio will display ROOT.

When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio ﬁles, but no folders, all ﬁles will be located under the root folder. The left and right arrow buttons will search playlists (Px) ﬁrst and then go to the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder the radio will display ROOT.

Order of Play

Tracks will be played in the following order:

• Play will begin from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst playlist

and will continue sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has been played, play will continue from the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst playlist.

• If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play

will begin from the ﬁrst track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, play will continue from ﬁles according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play will begin again at the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst folder or root directory.

When play enters a new folder, the display will not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name will appear on the display.

File System and Naming

The song name that will display will be the song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will display the ﬁle name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.

Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages will be shortened. The display will not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the ﬁlename will not display.

Playing an MP3

With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in and the CD should begin playing. While playing a CD, the navigation system is available.

When you insert a CD with the radio on, the CD tab will display.

As each new track starts to play, the track number will appear on the display.

Auxiliary Devices

The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack located in the upper right corner of the faceplate. This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect an external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio listening.

Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of your vehicles owner manual for more information on driver distraction.

To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to the auxiliary input jack.

When a device is connected, the system will detect the device and automatically begin playing audio from the device over the vehicle’s speakers.

If a device is connected and you are listening to another source (FM, CD, etc.), press the AUDIO key. Then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX (auxiliary) is selected; or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary device must be connected for the AUX screen button to appear as a selectable option.
