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.
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.
Infotainment System5
• 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.
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.
6Infotainment System
{ 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 timesthe 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, set the
navigation system to your
preference or delete information you
may 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.

disc. If the guidelines are not met
when recording a CD-R(W), the CD
may not play. The guidelines are

by the radio if it is available.
The radio supports ID3 tag
information v1.0 or v1.1. The
radio will display a filename, song
name, artist name, album
name, and directory name.
• Maximum 32 characters,
including spaces, in a file
or folder name.
• Maximum number of folders is
253 with a maximum hierarchy
of eight folders.
• Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs while
driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
• It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 192 files on a disc.
• The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a maximum
capacity of 700MB.
• DVD with MP3 are not playable
on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as
a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the directory
will be displayed as ROOT.
26Infotainment System
All files contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed
prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders
or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure
that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the file
structure that contains compressed
audio files and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files will be
located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder
functions will have no function on a
CD that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but
no folders, all files will be located
under the root folder. The left
and right arrow buttons will search
playlists (Px) first and then go
to the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder
the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following
order:
• Play will begin from the first track
in the first playlist and will
continue sequentially through all
tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will
continue from the first track of
the first playlist.
• If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play will begin
from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been
played, play will continue from
files according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last
track from the last folder, play
will begin again at the first track
of the first folder or root
directory.
When play enters a new folder, the
display will not automatically
show the new folder name. The new
track name will appear on the
display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will
be the song name that is contained
in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, then
the radio will display the file
name without the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages will be
shortened. The display will not
show parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the filename will not display.
