Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
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 do this. Some
features may be disabled while
driving. A grayed-out function
indicates it is not available when
the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. 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 to drive, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.
For vehicles with phone
capability, set up phone numbers
in advance so they can be called
with the press of a single button
or a single voice command.
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 by selecting a
destination using the various
methods and choices.
.
Follow turn-by-turn instructions
and map guidance with voice
prompts, when permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
.
Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.
Black plate (5,1)
Cadillac SRX Navigation System - 2011
Infotainment System 5
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 could 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, 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 might appear
with the information below. Read
and acknowledge the information it
contains.
If the Caution screen appears, press
the OK screen button. If the NAV or
DEST control buttons are pressed,
this Caution screen appears and OK
must be pressed to access NAV and
DEST functions. See instructions
later in this section.
To get started, set preferences or
delete informations to the navigation
system using various options.
