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 onthedrive 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:
• Familiarizeyourself with all of its controls: hard
keys on the faceplate and touch-sensitive
screen buttons.
• Familiarizeyourself with its operation.
• Setup 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).
• Setup 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).
6
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 RDS broadcast announcements.
7
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 the vehicle is started and the
navigation system is turned on, the Caution
screen or the previous active screen will
appear dependent on system power off time.
If the Caution screen appears, touch OK to load the
map DVD information. If OK is not selected, all hard
keys except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST
(Destination) can be accessed. Once the NAV or
DEST hard keys are pressed, this Caution screen
will appear and OK must be pressed to load the
map DVD information from the map disc.
When getting started you may set the navigation
system to your preference using various options.
To do so, reference the following topics:
Language — English/Metric
To change the language of the navigation screens,
see “Driver Information Center, DIC Vehicle
Customization” in the Index of your vehicles
owner manual.
To change the navigation screens from English
or metric, see “Driver Information Center, DIC
Operation and Displays” in the Index of your
vehicles owner manual.
