Overview

Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio functions.
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 with this by disabling some features when driving. A grayed-out function 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, buttons on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons.
.
Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.
.
Set up the navigation features, such as entering an address or a preset destination.
.
Set up phone numbers in advance so they can be called easily by pressing a single
Black plate (5,1)
Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System - 2013 - CRC - 3/5/12
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 and you or others could be injured or killed. Focus your attention on driving and limit glances at the moving map on the navigation screen. Use voice guidance 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.
.
Receive RDS broadcast announcements.
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. 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 information that must be read and acknowledged before accessing some navigation features.
After acknowledging the start up information, the NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) functions are accessible. Information can now
Infotainment System 5
be entered or deleted, and other functions accessed. See instructions later in this section.
Every 50 times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Caution screen appears. After reading the caution, select Agree to load the map DVD information. If Agree is not selected, all control buttons except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) can be accessed.
When getting started, set your preferences or delete information in the navigation system using various options.

Radio

AM-FM Radio

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 owner manual.
The audio system operates using the navigation system menus.

If your vehicle is equipped with a Bose® sound system, it includes Bose AudioPilot® noise compensation technology. When turned ON, AudioPilot continuously adjusts the audio system equalization to compensate for background noise, so that your music always sounds the same at the set volume level.
This feature works best at lower volume settings where background noise may mask the audio. At higher volume settings, where the audio is much louder than the noise, there may be little or no change in the audio level. For additional information on AudioPilot, visit www.bose.com/audiopilot.

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:
.
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.

18 Infotainment System
If tuned to a station broadcasting RDS information, the station's Program Service (PS) and Program Type (PTY) replace 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 “Guidance Volume” under Navigation Set Up on page 54.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio station, it can be heard even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player was being used, the CD stays in the player and resumes play at the point where it stopped.
Press RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.

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 not in the local broadcast area. This eliminates the need to reprogram preset stations while traveling out of the area.

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.

smaller 8 cm (3 in) discs 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.
