Colors on the Screen
When a route has been planned, it will be highlighted
on the screen in blue.
Different colors are also used to distinguish between
interstate freeways, state highways, county roads, major
streets and secondary streets. Highways will be
shown as a thicker line than a general street.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of your
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,
and map data.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) locates the
current position of your vehicle using signals sent by the
United States Department of Defense GPS Satellites.
While your vehicle is receiving signals from the
satellites, GPS will appear on the map screen.
However, at times, other interferences such as the
satellite condition, road configuration, the condition of
the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can interfere
with the system’s ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:
• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
• Metallic objects are located on the dashboard.
• Satellites are being repaired or improved.
• Aftermarket glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to the vehicle’s
windshield or place metallic objects on the vehicle’s
dashboard. Glass tinting and metallic objects will
interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals
and may cause the system to malfunction.
If you are experiencing a problem, see
Positioning on page 2-26
Guidance on page 2-27
and
Problems with Route
for more information.

3-1
Navigation Audio System
The audio system is operated using navigation
system menus. The audio menus are explained in
this section.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio
can do the following:
• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type
of programming
• Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
• Display messages from radio stations
• Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide
the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program
being broadcast.
Playing the Radio
PWR (Power/Volume Knob): Press this knob to turn
the audio and navigation systems on and off. Turn
the knob to increase or decrease the volume.

desired level, choosing between Low, Mid, or High.
Then, as you drive, SCV automatically increases the
volume, as necessary, to overcome noise at any speed.
The volume level should always sound the same to
you as you drive. You may also choose to turn
this feature off.
EQ (Equalizer): While in the Audio menu, use the keys
labeled EQ1 through EQ5 to choose preset bass,
midrange, and treble equalization settings. The Custom
screen button allows you to choose and set the
equalization levels you desire. Adjust each setting to the
desired level. To set the levels, press Custom until
you hear a beep.
After adjustments are made, press the BAND key to go
back to the preset station menu. Now that you have
preset the station and the EQ setting, you can assign the
EQ to the preset station. To do this, press the desired
preset station key until you hear a beep. The EQ setting
will now be assigned to that station unless you decide
to change it.

Alternate Frequency: This feature allows the radio to
automatically switch to a stronger station in an RDS
network that is playing the same network broadcast.
While the frequency may change, the station program
name should stay the same, as it is in the same
RDS network.
Regionalization: This option allows the radio to stay
tuned to the current RDS station even if it departs from
RDS network broadcast in favor of broadcasting
local or regional content.
