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.

{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.

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.

When getting started, you may set the navigation system to your preference using various options. You will also need to know how to perform various functions to begin route guidance. Reference the following topics for further 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, GPS 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 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.

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 on page 2-37 and Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-38 for more information.

2-36

• 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 direction 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

or garage with a roof.

• The vehicle has a roof carrier, ski, or bike rack

installed on it.

• The vehicle has tire chains on it.

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 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 more slowly.

• The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a

regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given.

Playing a CD (Single CD Player)

Remove the navigation map DVD from the slot and return it to its case. Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in.

There will be a 12 to 15 second delay while the CD is read, before it begins to play. When the player begins to read a CD, the Disc Check in Process message will appear brieﬂy to remind you of the delay. When the map DVD is reinserted and read, the DVD Check in Process message will appear brieﬂy to remind you of the delay.

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will start playing where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

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 you add any label to a CD, insert more than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could damage the CD player. When 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.

If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages” later in this section.

While playing a CD in the CD player, the navigation system is not available. A message will display if the NAV key is pressed. If your vehicle is equipped with Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE), you can play an audio CD while using the navigation system. See Rear Seat Entertainment System on page 3-14 for more information.
