•Troubleshooting Guide
• Glossary of Terms
•Voice Command List
System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with
voice control that uses satellites and a
map database to show you where you
are and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these satellites,
the navigation system can determine
the latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all
times.
The navigation system applies this
location, direction, and speed
information to the maps and calculates
a route to the destination you enter. As
you drive to that destination, the system
provides map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using
the touch screen, joystick or voice
control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination.
Navigation System 5
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.
Introduction
Accessories Precautions
If you have front window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located
under the dash board.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle location devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit under the dash board, near the
navigation screen in the dash, or near
the GPS antenna under the dash board.
Signal noise emanating from these
devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all operating instructions
and safety information in this
manual.
WARNING
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely.
Pull to the side of the road if you need
more time to look at the screen or
operate the controls.

Verified streets (dark colored)
These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities.
Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such
as interstate freeways.
The database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination.
While driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination.
There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution
during a route. However, because roads constantly
change, you are urged to use common sense, and
always obey posted traffic restrictions.
Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half
mile make a right turn.”
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while on
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route.
Unverified streets (light colored)
These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The
system does not contain information about one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and can have errors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Your route line is either a blue dotted “vector line”, or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 77.
Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there
are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the
user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions (see
Unverified Area Routing on page 77).
The suffix “if possible” is added to each guidance maneuver.
For example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of
25 mph for these roads.

Navigation System 13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands. The
voice control system is activated with
the Talk button. To control your
navigation system by voice, press and
release the Talk button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command. Once
the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command
and prompts you for the next
command. Using the Talk button,
answer the prompts as required.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please
use the touch screen to...” or “Please
choose an area with the joystick.” the
system is asking for input that cannot
be performed using the voice control
system.
If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help” at any
screen. The system can then read the
list of commands to you.
When you speak a command, the
system generally either repeats the
command as a confirmation or asks you
for further information. If you do not
wish to hear this feedback, you can turn
it off. See the Voice Recognition
Feedback setting in Set-up.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
the following guidelines should be
followed:
NOTE: Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 113.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.
• Set the fan speed to one or two.
• Adjust the air flow from the
dashboard vents so they do not blow
against the microphone on the
ceiling.
• After pressing the Talk button, wait
for the beep, then give a voice
command.
•Give a voice command in a clear,
natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
Navigation System14
Getting Started
• If the system cannot recognize your
command, speak louder.
• If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may not
interpret your voice commands
correctly.
• If you are still having trouble with
the voice control system, refer to
Voice Command Help on the
Information screen.
Selecting an Item (Button)
on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return). To select an
item on any screen, do one of the
following:
• Use the voice control system and say
the name of the desired item. Every
selectable item on the screen,
including some listed items, is
recognized by the voice control
system.
•Touch the desired item on the screen.
•Move the highlighting to the desired
item with the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
Tip: If buttons are very dark colored,
this means that they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
• Use the joystick to scroll through the
list item by item.
• Use the voice control system and say
“Next” or “Previous” or use the “on

the ZOOM IN/OUT buttons to scroll
through the list page by page.
If you cannot find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and
say the item number of the desired
item.
•Touch the item on the screen.
• Use the joystick to move the
highlighting to the item, then push in
on the joystick.
