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.

Infotainment System 5

All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving:

• Become familiar with the

navigation system operation, hard keys 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 bealert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system. Because the navigation system uses street mapinformation that does not includeall traffic restrictions or the latestroad changes, it may suggestusing a road that is now closedfor construction or a turn that isprohibited by signs at the intersection. Because thesystem uses limited information, youmust always evaluate whether following the system’s directions issafe and legal for the currentconditions.

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.

Every ﬁfty times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Caution screen appears. After reading the caution, select 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. You can also press the NAV hard key to have this Caution screen appear.

When getting started, setthe navigation system to yourpreference or delete information youmay have entered using various options.

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

This system relies on receiving speciﬁc information from these stations and will only work when the information is available.

In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

The RDS system is always on. When information is broadcast from the FM station you are listening to, the station name or call letters will be displayed on the audio screen. RDS may provide a program type (PTY) for current programming and the name of the program being broadcasted.
