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.

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 with this by disabling some features when driving. A grayed-out function 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, buttons on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons.

Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.

Set up the navigation features, such as entering an address or a preset destination.

Set up phone numbers in advance so they can be called easily by pressing 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 and you or others could be injured or killed. Focus your attention on driving and limit glances at the moving map on the navigation screen. Use voice guidance 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.

Receive RDS broadcast announcements (only for Navs/Radios with RDS.)

6 Infotainment System

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. 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 information that must be read and acknowledged before accessing some navigation features.

After acknowledging the start up information, the NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) functions are accessible. Information can now be entered or deleted, and other functions accessed. 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 (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) can be accessed. You can also press NAV to have this Caution screen appear.

When getting started, set your preferences or delete information in the navigation system using various options.

Audio Players

CD/DVD Player

Playing a CD

The player can be used for CDs with conventional CD audio, MP3, or WMA compressed files and may have the capability to play DVD audio and DVD video. See “Playing a Audio DVD and/or DVD Video” later in this section for more information about DVD audio and video.

With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and the CD should begin playing. The navigation system can be used while playing a CD.

When a CD is inserted, the CD tab displays. If an equalization setting is selected for the CD, it is activated each time a CD is played.

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 was the last selected audio source.

As each new track starts to play, the track number displays.

If an error displays, see “CD/DVD Messages” in this section.

If viewing a map screen, press the CD screen button or the NAV button. The display splits between the audio screen and the map screen. If you do not want to view a split screen or you are not on a map screen, press AUDIO, then press AUDIO again, repeatedly until CD is selected or press the CD screen button.

Using a Compressed Audio CD/DVD

Compressed Audio CD/DVD Format

There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3, WMA, or mixed disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a burned disc, the disc may not play. The guidelines are:

ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0, v1.1, and v2.0. The radio displays a filename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.

Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a file or folder name.

The recommended maximum number of folders is 100 with a maximum hierarchy of three folders.

Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album.

All playlist files (.m3u or .pls) must be removed from disc contents. Playlists are not supported.

It is recommended that there is a maximum of 192 files on a CD-R(W) disc.

It is recommended that there is a maximum of 200 files on a DVD+R(W) disc.

The files can be recorded on a CD-R(W) or DVD+R(W).

Copy protected WMA files are not supported.

Scanning Compressed Audio Disc

Scanning a compressed audio disc categorizes and allows sorting of songs by folder artist or album.

Press center folder/artist/album screen button to initiate scanning mode. The radio plays and a progress bar displays.

Background scanning occurs with the radio on and the compressed audio disc inserted but not being played.

Only the first 200 songs appears in the compressed audio music navigator.

Scanning time varies depending on the number of files and folders on the disc.

Root Directory

The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory is displayed as ROOT.

All files contained directly under the root directory is accessed prior to any root directory folders.

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 is displayed or numbered.

No Folder

When the disc contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions have no function on a disc that was recorded without folders. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.

Order of Play

Tracks are played in the following order:

The radio does not support playlist files.

Order of play differs depending if the compressed audio disc is fully scanned or unscanned. See “Scanning Compressed Audio Disc” previously in this section.

When playing an unscanned disc, the next and previous screen buttons may be required to switch away from the current folder when quickly seeking rather than allowing the last song of a folder to play to completion.
