Overview

Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates.

The navigation system includes navigation and audio functions.

Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on the drive is important for safe driving. The navigation system has built-in features intended to help with this by disabling some features when driving. A grayed-out function is not available when the vehicle is moving.

All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving:

Become familiar with the navigation system operation, buttons on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons.

Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.

Set up the navigation features, such as entering an address.

Set up phone numbers in advance so they can be called easily by pressing a single button or a single voice command for navigation systems equipped with phone capability.

{

WARNING

Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often while using the navigation system could cause a crash and you or others could be injured or killed. Focus your attention on driving and limit glances at the moving map on the navigation screen. Use voice guidance whenever possible.

Use the navigation system to:

Plan a route.

Select a destination using various methods and choices.

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

Receive RDS broadcast announcements.

Black plate (5,1)

Buick Verano Navigation System - 2012

Infotainment System 5

Always be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system. Because 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. Always evaluate whether following the system's directions is safe and legal for the current conditions.

When the navigation system is turned on, a screen may appear with information that must be read and acknowledged before accessing some navigation features.

After acknowledging the start up information, the NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) functions are accessible. Information can now be entered or deleted, and other functions accessed. See instructions later in this section.

Every 50 times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Caution screen appears. After reading the caution, select OK. If OK is not selected, all control buttons except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) can be accessed.

When getting started, set your preferences or delete information in the navigation system using various options.

Navigation System Overview

The navigation system is controlled by using the buttons on the faceplate and the touch screen.

See “Infotainment Control Buttons” in this section for more information.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The position of the vehicle is determined 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 system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. See Navigation Symbols on page 34.

This system might not be available or interferences can occur if any of the following are true:

Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large trucks, or a tunnel.

Satellites are being repaired or improved.

For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see

Problems with Route Guidance on page 59 and If the System Needs Service on page 60.

Vehicle Positioning

At times, the position of the vehicle on the map could be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:

The road system has changed.

The vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow.

The vehicle is traveling on winding roads or long straight roads.

The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large vehicle.

The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.

The vehicle has been transferred by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.

The current position calibration is set incorrectly.

The vehicle is traveling at high speed.

Black plate (59,1)

Buick Verano Navigation System - 2012

Infotainment System 59

The vehicle changes directions more than once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking lot.

The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a parking lot, garage, or a lot with a roof.

The GPS signal is not received.

A roof carrier is installed on the vehicle.

Tire chains have been installed.

The tires are replaced or worn.

The tire pressure for the tires is incorrect.

This is the first navigation use after the map data is updated.

The 12-volt 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.

Problems with Route Guidance

Inappropriate route guidance can occur under one or more of the following conditions:

The turn was not made on the road indicated.

Route guidance might not be available when using automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.

The route might not be changed when using automatic rerouting.

There is no route guidance when turning at an intersection.

Plural names of places might be announced occasionally.

It could take a long time to operate automatic rerouting during high-speed driving.

Automatic rerouting might display a route returning to the set waypoint if heading for a destination without passing through a set waypoint.

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 might not be searched.

The route to the destination might not be shown if there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed in the map data. See Maps on page 34 for more information.

To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the map, park with the vehicle running for two to five minutes, until the vehicle position updates.
