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.
Black plate (5,1)
Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System - 2011
Infotainment System 5
All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving:
.
Become familiar with the navigation system operation, buttons 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).
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.
Black plate (6,1)
Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System - 2011
6 Infotainment System
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.
.
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.

Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to the 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 can interfere with the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts, parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work. Make sure that replacement or additional equipment is compatible with the vehicle before installing it. See “Accessories and Modifications” in the vehicle's owner manual.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). RAP lets the audio system play after the ignition is turned off. See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” in the Index of the vehicle's owner manual for more information.

Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio can do the following:
.
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming
.
Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies
.
Display messages from radio stations
.
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
RDS (Radio Data System): Press RDS to use alternate RDS functions located in the preset menu. After pressing RDS, quickly choose RDS ON/OFF, TA, INFO, PTY, or Select PTY. If a selection is not made, the system returns to the previous menu.
If tuned to a station broadcasting RDS information, the station's Program Service (PS) and Program Type (PTY) replaces the station's frequency on the status line at the top of the display. After about five seconds, if available, the PTY is replaced on the display by the station's PTY name. The PTY and PTY name can be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS information, the station's frequency remains on the display.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specific information from RDS stations. These features only work when RDS information is available.
TA (Traffic Announcement):
Press TA to receive traffic announcements. TA displays if the current station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the current station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system seeks to a station that does and stops. If no station is found, TA turns off.
While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, use the VOL up or down buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance Volume Settings” under

Home and Away Preset Stations
If the vehicle has this feature, the audio system settings that were adjusted the last time the vehicle was operated can be recalled. This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own audio system settings. The adjusted settings are recalled by the audio system and are determined by which Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (1 or 2) that 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 can store HOME and AWAY preset stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations
allow the use of one set of preset radio settings in a local area, and another set that are not in the local broadcast area. This eliminates the need to reprogram preset stations while travelling out of the area.
To select HOME and AWAY preset stations:
1. Press AUDIO to enter the audio screen.
2. Press the HOME or AWAY button.
The next time the audio system is turned on, the system recalls the last active preset selection.
If the vehicle loses battery power, the local preset stations do not have to be reset. However, the non-local preset stations must be reset.

When the faceplate is opened, a warning message displays as a reminder to close the faceplate as soon as possible.
Playing a CD
Once a music CD is loaded, the CD player menu displays.
If the ignition or radio is turned off while a CD is in the player, it stays in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts to play where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number displays.
The CD player can play the smaller 8 cm (3 in) single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality can 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 can 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 does not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, take a soft lint free cloth, or dampen a clean soft cloth in mild detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, 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 as it could get caught in the CD player. If a description label is needed, label the top of the CD with a soft marker.
If an error displays, see “CD Errors” later in this section.

Playing a CD Changer
If the vehicle has the CD changer, it can play up to six discs. Normal size discs may be played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The smaller discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially designed trays.
The magazine must be loaded with CDs before one can play. Each of the six trays holds one CD.
Load the trays from bottom to top, placing a disc in the tray label side up. If a CD is loaded with the label side down, the disc does not play and an error occurs. Repeat this procedure for loading up to six discs in the magazine.
Once you have loaded the discs into the magazine, slide the CD changer door open. Push the magazine into the changer in the direction of the arrow marked on top of the magazine.
Close the door by sliding it all the way to the right. When the door is closed, the changer begins checking for discs in the magazine. This continues for up to one and a half minutes, depending on the
number of discs loaded. Noise might be heard, but this is normal. The CD changer is initializing.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD changer door all the way open. Press EJECT, located inside of the changer door, and the magazine ejects. Remember to keep the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting inside the changer.
To eject CDs from the magazine, push the RELEASE switch on the bottom of the magazine.
Press the CD control button to access the six-disc CD changer screen. The system's DVD player for single CD play can also be used once the map DVD is removed. See “CD/DVD Player” later in this section for more information.
If no CD is loaded in the CD/DVD Player and CD is pressed, the message “No CD loaded” displays.
