Getting Started
Before operating the navigation system, read this
manual to become familiar with its operation.
While entering the vehicle or when turning the vehicle
off, some DVD Map Disc noise is normal.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of
your vehicle’s owner manual for more information.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio
functions.
While the vehicle is parked:
• Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
• Familiarize yourself with its operation.
• Set up your audio by presetting your favorite
stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
• Set up the navigation features that can only be
done before you begin driving.
A destination or alphanumeric text can only be entered
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). The touch-sensitive
screen buttons leading to the alphanumeric keyboard
are not lit while driving.
Not all functions are available while driving. They
appear grayed out on the screen. All functions are
available when parked. Some functions can be
performed while driving, as long as you can do so
without diverting too much of your attention from
your driving.

{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
{CAUTION:
Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the navigation
screen. Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
The navigation system lets you:
• Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice prompts.
• Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
• Receive RDS broadcast announcements.
Always be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and
instructions, regardless of the guidance from the
navigation system. 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. The
system uses limited information. Always evaluate
whether following the system’s directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
