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.
6
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.
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.
The information in the system may not always be
complete.
7
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.
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 ConfigureMenu on page 50 for more information.
When getting started, you may set the navigation
system to your preference using various options.
