Infotainment System 5

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 driving 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, control 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.

6 Infotainment System

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.

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.

Infotainment System 7

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 control buttons except for NAV and DEST can be accessed. You can also press NAV 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.

24 Infotainment System

ID3 tag information is displayed 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. 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 advances 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 are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions have no function on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.

When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio files, but no folders, all files are located under the root folder. The left and right arrows search playlists (Px) first and then go to the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.

Order of Play

Tracks are played in the following order:

Play begins from the first track in the first playlist and continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play continues from the first track of the first playlist.

If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play begins from the first track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have played, play continues from files according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the first track of the first folder or root directory.

When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name appears on the display.

File System and Naming

The song name that displays is the song name contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.

Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages, are shortened. The display does not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the filename does not display.

Preprogrammed Playlists

Preprogrammed playlists which were created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software can be accessed. However, they cannot be edited. These playlists are treated as special folders containing compressed audio song files.

Playing an MP3

With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in. The system may take some time to read the MP3 disc. While playing a CD, the navigation system is available. If you insert a CD with the system off and the ignition on, it starts to play.

When you insert a CD, the CD tab displays.

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player, it stays in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts playing where it stopped, if it is the last selected audio source.

As each new track starts to play, the track number appears on the display.

If an error appears on the display, see “CD/DVD Messages” in this section.
