Getting Started

Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and
to understand how the system works.

Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of
your vehicle’s owner manual for more information. Get
familiar with your vehicle’s navigation system so
you can use it with less effort and take full advantage of
its features. Your navigation system includes not only
navigation, but also audio functions. While your
vehicle is parked:

• Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard

keys on the faceplate and touch-sensitive
screen buttons.

• Familiarize yourself with its operation.

• Set up your audio by presetting your favorite

stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the
speakers. Then, when driving conditions permit,
you can tune to your favorite stations using
the presets and steering wheel controls
(if equipped).

• Set up the navigation features that can only be

done before you begin driving, such as entering
an address or a preset destination.

Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.

Other functions may also be locked out while driving and
they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but
all functions are available when parked. Some functions
can be performed while driving, as long as you can
do so without diverting too much of your attention from
your driving.

{CAUTION:

This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.

1-4

{CAUTION:

Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the navigation
screen. Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.

The navigation system allows you to do the following:

• Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route

and map guidance with voice prompts.

• Select a destination using various methods

and choices.

The information in the system may not always be
complete. Road conditions such as prohibited turns,
detours, and construction zones, change frequently. It is
important to consider whether you can follow the
directions given by the system for the current conditions.

Every fifty times the vehicle is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the CAUTION screen will appear.
Touch the Next screen button for the map DVD
information to load. You can also select to change the
language, Eng (English) or Fr (French). See “Language”
under Configure Menu on page 2-31 for more
information.

system to your preference using various options.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Navigation System determines the position of your
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle
signals and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellite
condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle
and/or other circumstances can interfere with the
Navigation’s ability to determine the accurate position of
the vehicle.

The GPS shows the accurate current position of your
vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of
the United States Department of Defense. When your
vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites,
a symbol will appear on the map screen.

This system may not be available/or interference may
occur if the following happens:

• Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, large

trucks, tunnels,

• objects located on top of the instrument panel,

• satellites will not send signals if they are being

repaired or improved,

• after-market glass tinting has been applied to the

vehicle’s windows.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interfere
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.

For more information if you are experiencing a problem,
see If the System Needs Service on page 2-36 and
Problems with Route Guidance on page 2-35.

your dealer.

If the System Needs Service

If your system needs service and you have followed the
steps listed here and still are experiencing problems,
see your dealer for assistance.

Ordering Map DVDs

The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was purchased.
The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that
the map information has changed. To order a new map
DVD, contact your dealer.

Database Coverage Explanations

Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map
detail available for any given area. Some areas will
feature greater levels of detail than others. If this
happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the
system. As the map DVD is updated, more detail
may become available for areas which previously had
limited detail. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-36.

Navigation Audio System

Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to
your 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 may interfere with
the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or
other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that has been added.

Notice: The chime signals related to seat belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
operate through the navigation system. If that
equipment is replaced or additional equipment is
added to your vehicle, the chimes may not work.

Make sure that replacement or additional equipment
is compatible with your vehicle before installing
it. See “Accessories and Modifications” in the Index
of your vehicle’s owner manual.

Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system will continue
to play even after the ignition is turned off. See

Playing a CD

Insert a CD partway into the CD slot, label side up.
The player will pull it in.

There will be a 12 to 15 second delay while the CD is
read, before it begins to play. When the player begins to
read a CD, the Disc Check in Process message will
appear briefly to remind you of the delay.

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

If playing a CD-R the sound quality may 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 may 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 will not play properly. If the surface of the CD is
soiled, see “Care of Your CDs” in the Index of your
vehicle’s owner manual.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.

Notice: If you add any label to a CD, insert more
than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt
to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could
damage the CD player. When 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.

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of
the recorded CD with a soft marker instead.

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