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.

15

{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.

• Receive broadcast announcements on traffic

and emergency alert communications.

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.

Each time you start your vehicle ad turn on the
navigation system, this screen will appear.
Press the Agree reconfigurable soft key to agree
that you have read the screen and for the
DVD map disc information to load.

16

You can change the language of the system at this
time. Press the reconfigurable soft key next to the
desired language. An X will appear next to the
choice and all system related language will change.

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

To adjust screen appearance, language, clock,
English/metric measurements, voice guidance
volume, or other options, see Setup Menu
on page 27.

When your route guidance has been planned, it
will be highlighted and a checkered flag will appear
on the map to show your destination. Symbols
will also appear for any waypoints that have been
set, and “Route Calculation Completed” will
display.

54

Traveling on a Planned Route

After a route has been calculated and the route
highlighted, you may hear an audio prompt
to proceed to the highlighted route. When you are
ready, drive the vehicle to the highlighted route.
Once you begin driving on the route, the
system will give additional audio and visual
prompts as you approach your next maneuver.
Each maneuver is indicated on the map with a red
maneuver pin.

Maneuver pins are red stick pin icons on the map
that indicate changes in the road or special
action that must be taken by the driver to remain
on the currently traveled road. For example,
the road may have a sharp curve in it. The curve
would not qualify as an official turn on the
planned route. However, the driver must be aware
of the curve so that he or she can stay on the
planned route. Maneuver pins are always
displayed along a planned route, but voice prompts
and screen pop-ups will only be given if these
features are turned on. See “Voice Volume” under
Setup Menu on page 27 and “Reconfigurable
Keys” under Using the Navigation System
on page 22 for more information.

As you are traveling, the current road is shown at
the bottom center of the map screen and the
next maneuver will be in the upper center of the
map screen. Anytime while on the route, you
can press the navigation repeat key to get
an audio prompt of your next maneuver.

Maneuver Pins

55

There are two different types of roads in the map
database, they are:

• Fully attributed roads allow for a destination to

be set and turn-by-turn guidance to be
provided to the exact location of the address.

• In Process Data (IPD) roads contain only

street name and address information.
Other information such as turn restrictions and
direction of travel is not included for these
IPD roads. Therefore, turn-by-turn guidance
cannot be provided to the exact address.
When trips are planned that include an IPD
destination, turn-by-turn guidance will be
provided on the fully attributed roads closest
to the destination.

When nearing the end of the highlighted route,
the system will state “Enroute to your
destination, some roads contain incomplete
data. Turn guidance will not be provided in this
area.” As you reach the end of the highlighted
route, the system will state “Turn guidance
will not be provided in this area. Please
use the direction arrow and distance indicator
to proceed to your destination.” You should
refer to the direction and distance information
in the lower center area of the screen to

navigate to the destination or refer to the
information in the waypoint box for a waypoint.
A purple highlighted route will appear on the
IPD roads. This is only a suggested route due
to the lack of traffic restriction information
on the IPD roads.

Special attention should be paid to the existing
traffic conditions, such as one-way streets
and prohibited turns.

Always follow the existing traffic restrictions.

Once your vehicle is near your destination, the
system will state “You’ve arrived at your
destination, ending route guidance.”

Traveling Across Regions

If you plan a trip that exceeds 5,000 miles
(8 046 km) in straight line distance from the
vehicle’s current position, you will receive a
message stating Destination/waypoint exceeds
maximum distance. To avoid this, plan your trip in
smaller segments. Select a closer destination
that you would like to travel through on your way
to your final destination.

56

Colors on the Screen

When a route has been planned, it will be
highlighted on the screen in blue. If you have set
a waypoint(s) for your route, the colors on the
screen will change. The highlighted route to the
next waypoint or destination will be blue. All
highlighted routes to further waypoints or
destinations will be maroon.

Different colors are also used to distinguish
between interstate freeways, state highways,
county roads, major streets and secondary streets.
Highways will be shown as a thicker line than a
general street will.

OnStar®System

When using the OnStar®system, the audio
system will be muted and the navigation voice
prompts will be disabled during the call. The
volume of the OnStar

®

call can be adjusted by
using the steering wheel volume controls.
See “Audio Steering Wheel Controls” and “OnStar

®

System” in the index of your vehicle’s owner
manual for more information.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

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

The Global Positioning System (GPS) locates the
current position of your vehicle using signals
sent by the United States Department of Defense
GPS satellites. While your vehicle is receiving
signals from these satellites, the GPS symbol will
not appear on the map screen.

However, at times, other interferences such as the
satellite condition, road configuration, the
condition of the vehicle, and/or other
circumstances can interfere with the system’s
ability to determine the accurate position of
the vehicle. This is when the GPS symbol will
appear on the map screen.

57

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

• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, large

trucks, or a tunnel.

• Objects are located on the rear shelf.

• Satellites are being repaired or improved.

• After-market glass tinting has been applied to

the vehicle’s rear windshield.

Notice: Aftermarket glass tinting with metallic
material will interfere with the system’s ability
to receive GPS signals and cause the system to
malfunction. You might have to replace the rear
window to correct the problem. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
apply aftermarket glass tinting with metallic
material to the rear window of your vehicle.

If you are experiencing a problem, see Vehicle
Positioning on page 58 or Problems with Route
Guidance on page 59 for more information.

Vehicle Positioning

At times, the position of the vehicle on the map
may 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 in sand, gravel, and/or snow.

• The vehicle is traveling on winding roads.

• The vehicle is on a long straight road.

• The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a

large vehicle.

• The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.

• The vehicle has just been transferred by a

vehicle carrier or a ferry.

• The current position calibration is set

incorrectly.

• The vehicle is traveling at high speed.

• The vehicle changes directions more than

once, or when the vehicle is turning on a
turn table in a parking lot.

58

• 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 your vehicle.

• 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.

Problems with Route Guidance

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

• You have not turned onto the road indicated.

• Route guidance may not be available

when using automatic rerouting for the next
right or left turn.

• The route may not be changed when using

automatic rerouting.

• There is no route guidance when turning at an

intersection.

• 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 waypoint if you are heading
for a destination without passing through a
set waypoint.

59

• 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 60.

To recalibrate the vehicle’s position on the map,
see your dealer.

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

You will receive two free DVD map disc updates
with the purchase of your new vehicle. Updates
are necessary to make sure that your vehicle’s

of your vehicle’s owner manual for more
information.

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. See
Ordering Map DVDs on page 60.

Your vehicle’s navigation system may have an XM
NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a
subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic™ provides real-time
traffic information fully integrated to the navigation
system to display current traffic conditions for a
driver’s chosen route. XM NavTraffic™ allows
drivers to make the most informed, timesaving
routing decisions.

XM NavTraffic™ is powered by NAVTEQ Traffic™
data which provides aggregate, quality tested
information from the leading commercial and public
traffic data providers including government
departments of transportation, police, and
emergency services, road sensors, cameras, and
airborne reports. Three types of traffic information
for major roadways are displayed on the
navigation system:

• Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as

accidents and disabled vehicles

• Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road

construction and road closures

• Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)

Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by
the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes
it possible for the navigation system to provide
continuously updated traffic information
personalized for a driver’s needs.

XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic
information for 20 markets nationally: Atlanta, GA,
Baltimore*, MD, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL,
Dallas/Ft Worth*, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX,
Los Angeles, CA, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale*, FL,
