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.

U(Space): Select the space symbol to enter a

space between characters or the words of a name.

V(Backspace): Press the reconfigurable soft

key next to the backspace prompt if you have

To make your name selections easier, the system

can follow the last one entered. For example, if
you enter Z, you may not be allowed to follow
it with T. The system will only display the available
characters.

If you are unsuccessful when inputting a name, it
may need to be selected differently. It is also
possible that the DVD map disc may not contain
that information or the correct search area has not
been selected. See Database Coverage
Explanations on page 61 for more information.
