points of interest, etc.).
• 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.

Features and Controls
Using the Navigation System
This section presents the basic information you will
need to know to operate the Navigation System.
The navigation screen shows a number of icons that
offer information on a variety of topics.
Use the keys, located on each side of the navigation
screen, and the control pad, located at the bottom
left corner of the faceplate, to operate the system.
Use the left and right arrows on the control pad to move
left and right on the screen and the up and down arrows
on the control pad to move up and down on the
screen. Push the Select button in the center of the
control pad to choose your desired selection.
Once the vehicle is running, various functions will be
disabled to reduce driver distractions.
Hard Keys
The following hard keys are located to the left of the
navigation screen:
• Z (Eject)
• NAV RPT
• SEEK
• NAV
• BAND
• V (CD)
• e (Audio)
• CONFIG
The function of each of these keys will be explained
within this supplement.

The system also has the following reconfigureable soft
keys located to the right of the navigation screen.
These have hard key labels for easier understanding
while in navigation mode. The six keys change functions
for different modes of the system.
• ) (Map)
• DEST

are traveling on. Locate a destination easily by
zooming in to see a smaller section of the map,
if you are close to your destination.
• Press Zoom Out to see a larger scale of the map,
if the destination that you wish to reach is a long
distance from your current location. You can

highlight the available characters and darken the
unavailable characters.
If you select an incorrect character, press the back
space symbol button. Be careful when using the control
pad because any slight movement can cause a wrong

highways, country roads andmajor and general streets.
Refer to the “Navigation System Map Disc” manual to
view the explanation of map coverage. This manual
will be in your map DVD case when the vehicle is
delivered from the factory.
When your vehicle is delivered from the factory, the

not installed in your vehicle when first purchased, use
the following directions to load the DVD:
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACCESSORY.
2. If already loaded, eject the map DVD or a CD

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 the
satellites, GPS will 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 GPS will appear on the
map screen.
The 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.
• Metallic objects are located on the dashboard.
• Satellites are being repaired or improved.
• Aftermarket glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
2-25
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to the vehicle’s
windshield or place metallic objects on the vehicle’s
dashboard. Glass tinting and metallic objects will
interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals
and may cause the system to malfunction.
If you are experiencing a problem, see “Vehicle
Positioning” and “Problems with Route Guidance”
following 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 traveling on slippery road surfaces
such as sand, gravel and/or snow.
• The vehicle is being driven on winding roads.
• The vehicle is being driven 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 being driven at high speeds.
• The vehicle is repeating a change of directions by
going forward and backward, or 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 vehicle has a roof carrier, ski or bike rack
installed on it.
• The vehicle has tire chains on it.
• The tires have been replaced.
• The tire pressure is incorrect.
• The tires are worn.
• The battery is disconnected.
• The vehicle is driven in heavy traffic where driving
is at low speeds and the vehicle is stopped and
started repeatedly.
2-26
Problems with Route Guidance
If the System Needs Service
Inappropriate route guidance may occur under any of
the following conditions:
• You have not turned onto the road indicated by the
system.
• Route guidance is not available for the next right or
left turn.
• The route is not changed during automatic rerouting.
• Plural names of places are displayed.
• You are driving at high speeds, which may cause
the automatic rerouting to operate slower.
• The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
• A route cannot be found.
• A road is new, was recently changed or is not listed
on the DVD. The route to the destination may not
be shown. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-27.
If you are still experiencing difficulty with your Navigation
System after reading this information, 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 once a year, provided that
the map information has changed. To order a new 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. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-27.
