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.

If any other problem occurs or if a problem persists, see your dealer.

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 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 21.
57
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: Donot 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 60 and Problems with Route Guidance on page 59.

The vehicle is 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 traveling at high speed.
The vehicle changes directions more than
once, or when the vehicle is 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.
58
The GPS signal is not received.
A roof carrier is installed on your vehicle.
The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.
The tires are replaced.
The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect.
The tires are worn.
The first time the map DVD is inserted.
The battery is disconnected for several days.
The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic where
driving is at low speeds, and the vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.
If you experience problems with your system, see your dealer.

Problems with Route Guidance

Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one or more of the following conditions:
You have not turned onto the road indicated.
Route guidance may not be available
when using automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.
The route may not be changed when using
automatic rerouting.
There is no route guidance when turning at an
intersection.
Plural names of places may be announced
occasionally.
It may take a long time to operate automatic
rerouting during high-speed driving.

returning to the set waypoint if you are heading for a destination without passing through a set waypoint.
The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due
to a regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given.
Some routes may not be searched.
The route to the destination may not be
shown if there are new roads, if roads have recently changed, or if certain roads are not listed on the map DVD. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 60.

Auxiliary Devices

The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack located in the upper right corner of the faceplate. This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect an external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio listening.
If your vehicle has rear audio/video input jacks, located in the rear of the center console, they can be used as another source for audio/video listening.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable to the auxiliary input jack. When a device is connected, the system will detect and automatically begin playing audio from the device over the vehicle’s speakers.
If a device is connected and you are listening to another source (FM, CD, MP3, etc.), press the AUDIO key then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX is selected or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary device must be connected for the AUX screen button to appear as an option to select or the vehicle must have rear auxiliary jacks. See “Rear Seat Entertainment System” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual for more information on the rear auxiliary jacks.

Voice Recognition

The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of the navigation system, audio system, and OnStar recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual for more information.

features. Voice
1. Press the talk symbol steering wheel control and release it when you hear a beep. The audio system, if on, will mute.
Helpful Hints for Stating Commands
When a multiple command is available, choose the command that best works for you.
Words that are in brackets are optional. For
example, for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid commands.
When the system recognizes the command
the system will:
either perform the function
ask you to confirm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
issue an error message such as “System
does not recognize this command” or direct you to “Please start speaking after the beep”
If the system is not yet ready, the system
may state “System is checking the disc. Please wait.”.
To cancel a command or if the system
response does not match your verbal command, press and hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply, “System will cancel the voice recognition”.

If you experience difficulty with the system
recognizing a command, try saying it more softly, and wait for a few seconds after the beep, or you may just try saying it again.
Background noise may cause voice commands
to be misunderstood, including airflow noise from wind.
To use the voice recognition system, the map
DVD must be loaded.
This system is able to recognize commands in three different languages. The system will only recognize commands based on the language selected from the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Driver Information Center, DIC Vehicle Personalization” in the Index of your vehicles owner manual.
