Overview

Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio functions.
While entering the vehicle or when turning the vehicle off, some DVD Map Disc noise is normal.
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 keep your eyes on the road and mind on the drive. Some features may be disabled while driving. Note that these functions will be grayed-out. A grayed-out function indicates it 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, hard keys on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons of the navigation system.
Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.
Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such as entering an address or a preset destination.
Set up your phone numbers in
advance so they can be called easily with the press of a single button or a single voice command (for navigation systems equipped with phone capability).
Infotainment System 5
{ WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often while using the navigation system could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others. Focus your attention on driving.
{ WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too often at the moving map on the navigation screen. This could cause a crash and you or others can be injured or killed. Use the turn-by-turn voice guidance directions 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.
You should 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.
Because the system uses limited information, you must 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 the information below, and you must read and acknowledge the information it contains.
{ WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road for extended periods could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others.
To help avoid a crash in which you or others could be killed:
Always concentrate on your
driving first by keeping your eyes and mind on the road, and your hands on the wheel.
6 Infotainment System
Follow system directions only if
permitted by traffic laws, controls, and conditions.
Before using this system, read
the owner’s manual and learn how it operates.
Some system controls cannot be
used the when vehicle is moving.
After you acknowledge the start up information you will be able to access the NAV (navigation) and DEST (destination) functions. Once accessed, you can enter or delete information in the navigation system or access other functions. See instructions later in this section.
If OK is not selected, all hard keys except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) can be accessed. You can also press the NAV hard key to have this Warning screen appear.
When getting started, set the navigation system to your preference or delete information you may have entered using various options.
Every fifty times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Warning screen appears. After reading the warning, select OK to load the map DVD information.

AM-FM Radio

The 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 the vehicle’s owner manual for more information.
The audio system is operated using navigation system menus. The audio menus are explained in this section.
Radio Personalization
With this feature, the latest audio system settings that were adjusted, the last time your vehicle was operated, can be recalled. This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own audio system settings. The settings recalled by the audio system are determined by which RKE transmitter (1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the RKE transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. The audio system settings automatically adjusts to where they were last set by the identified driver. The settings can also be recalled using the memory screens under the CONFIG MENU or voice recognition. See Personalization on page 101 for more information.
When battery power is removed and later applied, the audio system preset stations does not have to be reset.

Audio Players

CD/DVD Player

This system can play different types of media formats: DVD - Video, DVD - Video (DTS), DVD - Audio, CD - Digital Audio (CD - DA), CD-DA (DTS), CD - Text, CD - Extra, MP3 - CD, CDR, and CDRW. The system may also play DVD - R and DVD - RW type discs depending on the writing software used. The system may play DTS and Dolby tracks in surround sound.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting.
If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see “Care of Your CDs” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD with a soft marker instead.
With the six-disc CD/DVD changer, up to six audio CDs, MP3s, DTS discs, audio DVDs, or video DVD discs can be played continuously.
