• Glossary of Terms (page 136)

• Voice Command List (page 139)

• Operation Specific to Alaska and Hawaii (page 122)

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.

4 Navigation System

Introduction

The navigation system applies 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.

Accessories Precautions

If you have front or side 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 dashboard.

If you plan to install electronic components, such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation control unit under the dashboard, near the navigation screen in the dash, or near the GPS antenna under the dashboard. Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.

Important Safety Information

The navigation system can distract you r 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.

Navigation System 5

Introduction

WARNING

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.

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.

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 99). 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 located 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 60.

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.

Time and distance “to go”

Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light 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 instructions such as “In a halfmile, make a right turn.”

The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.

Introduction

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 on one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may 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 83.

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 83.

The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction. 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 11

Getting Started

Voice Control Basics

Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio. The voice control system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

NAVI TALK button

NAVI BACK button

NOTE:

While using the voice control system, all of the speakers are muted.

Microphone (on the ceiling)

NAVI TALK button

This button activates the voice control system. Press and release it when you want to give a voice command. See Voice Command Index on page 139 for a list of voice commands.

NAVI BACK button

This button has the same function as the CANCEL button. When you press and release it, the display returns to the previous screen. When the pr evious screen appears, the system replays the last prompt. This button is enabled for navigation system commands only. However, it can be used to cancel an audio voice command up to one second after the command confirmation.

12 Navigation System

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 backup method of entry.

Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the NAVI TALK button. To control the 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 unsure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help.” The system will then read the list of available commands to you.

When you give 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. However, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. 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:

NOTE:

Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using. See Voice Command

Index on page 139.

• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.

• Close the windows.

• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.

Navigation System 13

Getting Started

• After pressing and releasing the

NAVI 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.

• If the system cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.

• 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, are 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, 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 “onscreen” 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 on the steering wheel.

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.

14 Navigation System

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.”

The names that can be used for each letter are shown below. For additional keyboard symbols, see page 145.

Entering a Destination

When you press the MENU button, the display changes to:

Address (see page 22) This selection requires you to enter the

city (and possibly the state) and the address that you want to go to.

Intersection (see page 26) This selection allows you to enter the

names of two intersecting streets in a city. This is useful if you know the general location of your destination, but not the exact address.

Places (see page 31) The system has been programmed with

the locations of many businesses, parks, hospitals, etc. This selection lets you search these by category, name, or phone number.

Map Input (see page 36) This selection allows you to point to a

destination on the map using the joystick. This allows you to enter a destination or address that may not be listed in the database.

Previous Destinations (see page 40) When you enter a destination with any

of the available selections (except Address Book and Go Home), the last 50 destinations are saved by the system. Use this selection to choose a destination again.

NOTE:

If Previous Destinations is grayed out, there are no Previous Destinations entered.

Today’s Destinations (see page 41) You can enter and sort up to five

destinations and store them in the Today’s Destinations list. You can then use the Today’s Destination selection.

NOTE:

If Today’s Destinations is grayed out, there are no Today’s Destinations entered.

Address Book (see page 42) This selection allows you to select a

stored address. The system can store up to a combined total of 200 User 1 and User 2 addresses.

Go Home (see page 44) This selection allows you to select your

home or a common place as a destination.

NOTE:

If you have no home address entered, the system prompts you for one.

Navigation System 21

Entering a Destination

By Address

After you select Address from the

Enter destination by screen, the display changes to:

Tip:

• When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name first, then the street name.

• When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street first. A city or cities that the street appears in will be displayed. For your convenience, you do not have to enter both city and street.

NOTE:

• If you find that your city is not listed, it may be part of a larger metropolitan area. Try entering the street first.

• Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes them in its calculations for the destination you have entered. See Edit Avoid Area on page 87.

Selecting the State or Province

The state you are in is displayed at the top of the screen. If your desired destination is in another state, select Change State.

The display then changes to the Enter state name screen. Use the voice control system and say the name of the state or use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the state.

Selecting the City

This is helpful if the street runs through several cities, and you know what city includes the street. The city you are in is displayed on the screen. If the city you want is displayed on the screen, say “Select current city.” If your desired destination is in another city, say or enter that city.

By Voice Control:

Say “City” on the Find address by screen, and the display changes to the Say city name screen. Say the city name and the searching will begin.

NOTE:

To improve voice recognition when saying the city name, pronounce the syllables as clearly as possible.

22 Navigation System

Entering a Destination

To enter the city name by voice spelling, say or select CHANGE TO Spell Mode on the Say city name screen, and the display will change to the Enter city name screen. Say the city name by saying individual letters, or words that represent the letters, one at a time.

The system has a talk back function. If your spoken letter is not recognized, the system will talk back to you. For example, if you say “E” but the system does not recognize the command, it will ask you, “Please select the number of the input letter from the list,” and the following pop-up box will appear:

You should select a letter by saying the number.

Alternatively, to improve voice recognition, you can say “Echo” or “Edward” instead of “E.” See page 15 for a list of available words for each letter.

By Touch Control:

Select City, and the display then changes to the Enter city name screen. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the city.

The system will display a list of city names, with the closest match to the name you entered at the top of the list. Select the number (1-6) of the desired city from the list.

Navigation System 23

Entering a Destination

If the system does not find an exact match, select List when you finish entering the name of the city. Most of the cities and towns for that state are listed.

Listings of cities and towns in the nondetailed coverage area may have an asterisk “*” next to their names. If you select one, a pop-up box is displayed saying, “No detailed street data...”, and a street address cannot be entered (see Map Coverage on page 108). Try entering the street first, and then select the city if available.

Select View Dest. Map and use the joystick to select an icon, approximate area, or street you wish to choose as your destination. Otherwise, a central location of the city will be selected. If you select a point of interest (POI) or road in an unverified area, you may or may not have routing in these areas. See Map Overview on page 6.

Selecting the Street

By Voice Control:

After you have selected the city, or if you say “Street” on the Find address

by screen, the display changes to the Say street name screen. Say the street

name and the searching will begin.

To enter the street name by voice spelling, say or select CHANGE TO Spell Mode on the Say street name screen, and the display will change to the Enter street name screen.

Say the street name by saying individual letters or numbers, or words that represent the letters, one at a time.

24 Navigation System

Entering a Destination

You should select a letter by saying the number.

Alternatively, to improve voice recognition, you can say “Echo” or “Edward” instead of “E.” See page 15 for a list of available words for each letter.

By Touch Control:

After you have selected the city, or if you selected Street in the beginning, the display changes to the Enter street name screen. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the street (like ELM or 42ND) that is your destination.

To enter the name of a major highway, you must use the full name, including a hyphen. For interstates, use an “I” (I-

10). For U.S. highways, use “US” (US-

18). For state highways, use the two

character state designation (CA-101). For county roads, use the appropriate designation (G-2, for example).

Tip:

When entering a street, you do not need to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or the type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will automatically determine that for you, based on your entered city and street number.

The system will display a list of street names, with the closest match to the name you entered at the top of the list. Select the number (1-6) of the desired street from the list.

Navigation System 25

Entering a Destination

Entering the Street Number

After you have completed the street name, the display changes to the Enter street number screen. Use the voice control system and say the address number as a continuous string of numbers. For example, the address 1527 should be spoken as “One, five, two, seven.” You can also use the on-screen keyboard to enter the street number.

Some address numbers may not be available on the selected street. For example, let’s say the individual address ranges for a selected street name are 1 20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an overall range shown on the display of 1 to 10,000. If you try to enter a number outside the individual address ranges such as 500, the system will show this number as unavailable (grayed out).

• When using the on-screen keyboard, the system only allows you to choose available address numbers.

• When using voice control, the system beeps if you try to select an unavailable (grayed out) address number.

If you did not select a city in the beginning, the street name you selected might appear in more than one city. The system will give you a list of cities that the street appears in. Select the desired city from the list. The system then displays the Calculate route to screen (see Driving to Your Destination on page 45).

Tip:

If the particular address you want cannot be found, select Map Input and use the joystick to select the appropriate location on the map (see By Map Input on page 36).

Select View Dest. Map and use the joystick to select an icon, approximate area, or street you wish to choose as your destination. Otherwise, a central location of the street will be selected. If you select a point of interest (POI) or road in an unverified area, you may or may not have routing in these areas. See Map Overview on page 6.

By Intersection

After you select Intersection from the

Enter destination by screen, the display changes to:

Tip:

When entering an address, it is usually easier to enter the street first. A city or cities that the street appears in will be displayed. For your convenience, you do not have to enter both city and street.
