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 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.
Infotainment System 5
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).
{ 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.
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.
6 Infotainment System
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.
After you acknowledge the start up information you will be able to access the NAV and DEST 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 timesthe 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 and DEST can be accessed. You can also press the NAV or DEST hard key to have this Caution screen appear.
Voice Recognition may also be unavailable until the Caution screen is acknowledged.
When getting started, set the navigation system to your preference or delete information you may have entered using various options.

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.
22 Infotainment System
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” later in this section.
If viewing a map screen, select the CD screen button or the NAV hard key. 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 the AUDIO key, then press it repeatedly until CD is selected or select 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.
Select center folder/artist/album
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.
