• 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
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.
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.
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.
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
6
Navigation System
The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page 96).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by carefully observing the
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you
are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is, appears at the bottom of the map
screen (see page 18). A message saying
“Not on a digitized road” may appear
instead when you drive half a mile away
from a mapped road. For more details,
see Off-road Tracking on page 59.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark colored) and
unverified (light colored). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page 7.
“Unverified” Road
“Verified” Road
Introduction
Navigation System 7
Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed
These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities.
These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color
Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways.
Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
Map Quality
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.
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.
Routing
differences
While driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination.
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 81.
Cautions
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.
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 81).
Guidance
voice
Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half
mile make a right turn.”
The suffix “if possible” is added to each guidance maneuver. For
example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go”
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.
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
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
“back-up” method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI Talk button. To control
your navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI Talk
button.
• Wait for the beep.
• 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 NAVI Talk button, answer
the prompts as required.
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 Setup.
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.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
the following guidelines should be
followed:

Navigation System
Getting Started
• If the system cannot recognize your
command because of background
noise, speak louder.
• If more than one person is speaking at
the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
• 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. Almost
all selectable items 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 items are grayed out (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
screen” scroll up or down buttons, or
the ZOOM 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 NAVI 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.
Navigation System 15
Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a keyboard. Use
the displayed letters to enter the
information. Enter each letter by one of
the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say
the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired
letter using the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
• Touch the desired letter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the
name that represents each letter or
symbol. This improves recognition. The
system will only respond to the names
shown in the following graphic.
For example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “A”;
“Alpha”; or “Apple.”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “M”;
“Mike”; or “Mary.”
