Getting Started
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.
• 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).
1-4
{ CAUTION:
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.
{ CAUTION:
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.
1-5
{ CAUTION:
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, set the navigation system to
your preference or delete information you may have
entered using various options.

Language — English/Metric
To change the language of the navigation screens,
see “Driver Information Center (DIC)” in your vehicle’s
owner manual index for more information.
To change the navigation screens from English or
metric, see “DIC Operation and Displays” in your
vehicle’s owner manual index for more information.
Deleting Personal Information
This navigation system can record and store personal
information such as names and addresses. At times,
such as when you are disposing of your vehicle,
you may want to delete this information. See “Edit
Address Book — Edit/View” under Configure Menu
on page 2-30 for deleting information from the
address book.
Limit Features While Driving
The navigation system may have this feature.
Touch the Limit Features While Driving screen button
to turn on and off the ability to limit functions while
driving. When this screen button is highlighted,
the following functions are limited while driving:

may occur, this is normal system operation.
The navigation system in this vehicle uses a DVD to
store map information. When the system loads data from
the disc, you may hear a very slight buzz sound from
the navigation system. The sound is similar to that of a
CD player seeking through different tracks. This is
normal operation and may occur more frequently with
the use of XM NavTraffic.
Your dealer/retailer may have installed the map DVD.
If the map DVD was not installed, do the following
to load it:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the
system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU
hard keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press
and hold until the NAV screen is active, or select
the NAV tab manually.

contamination or flaws. Signals may not read out
properly if the disc gets contaminated or flawed.
• If the disc gets soiled, use a soft cloth to gently wipe
it out from the center of the disc to the outside.
Do not use photographic record cleaner, solvents,
or other cleaners.
• Do not use the disc to rest on while writing or
drawing using any writing utensil or attach a seal
to any of the sides or the disc.
• Do not keep the disc in direct sunlight, high
temperatures, or humidity.
• After using the disc, place it back into the
original case.
DVD Map Disc Messages
If Disc Read Error appears on the display and/or the
disc comes out, it could be for one of the following
reasons:
• If the map DVD disc was installed into the
audio CD/video DVD slot. See “Installing DVD
Map Disc” earlier in this section.
• It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the disc should work.
• You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should work.
• The disc is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
• The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
