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.
1-4
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.
{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.
1-5
Each time you start your vehicle and turn on the
navigation system by touching the map hard key, you will
see this screen. You can touch I agree to proceed into the
system, or the globe symbol in the lower left corner of the
screen to change the language of the system. For more
information on changing the language, see
Personalization on page 5-2.
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, see “Screen
Appearance” under Configure Menu on page 2-52.
• To adjust the clock and other time options, see
“Clock” under Configure Menu on page 2-52.
• To plan a route, see Destination on page 2-37.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
The Navigation System determines the position of your
vehicle 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’s ability to determine the accurate position of
the vehicle.
The GPS shows the accurate current position of your
vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of
the United States Department of Defense. When your
vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites,
a symbol will appear on the map screen. Refer to
Symbols on page 2-6.
This system may not be available/or interference may
occur if the following happens:
• Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, large
trucks, tunnels,
• objects located on top of the instrument panel,
• satellites will not send signals if they are being
repaired or improved,
• after-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windows.
Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interfere
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.
For more information if you are experiencing a problem,
see If the System Needs Service on page 2-70 and
Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-69.

• 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.

Navigation Audio System
Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to your
vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB
radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure
that it can be added by checking with your dealer.
Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be added,
it is very important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of your
vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems, and even
damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere
with the operation of sound equipment that has been
added.
Notice: The chime signals related to seat belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
operate through the navigation system. If that
equipment is replaced or additional equipment is
added to your vehicle, the chimes may not work.
Make sure that replacement or additional equipment
is compatible with your vehicle before installing it.
See “Accessories and Modifications” in the Index of
your vehicle’s owner manual.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be played
even after the ignition is turned off. See “Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)” in the Index of your vehicle’s
owner manual for more information.
The audio system is operated using navigation system
menus. The audio menus are explained in this section.
